I can't be the only one that only gets 5.5 to 6 hours of battery life out of this thing and that is only from Web browsing.
I only get 3 hours while watching Netflix at max brightness. Battery life is awful. My note 2 gets over six.

My only complaint is how hot it gets in games and thus the thermal throttling, I bought a tablet with a 1.7Ghz processor not a 1.2Ghz! lol
I'm sure that is a battery drain, but full brightness is so bright it hurts my eyes. Why do you use full brightness?
I haven't measured exactly how long my battery lasts, but it's way over 3 hours. I use the N10 periodically throughout the day and more heavily in the evening. When I go to charge it before bed, there is still juice left in the battery.

What software are you using that tells you when thermal throttling is occurring? How do you know the temperature of the CPU and the actual speed in GHz?
I have a creeking back and lightbleed, I dont mind the lightbleed but the creeking back is freakin annoying...
I returned but the one given back to me was even worse. Shame on Google.
Overall I like it if you can get over the above features.
We have double the pixels to push around so that makes sense. On a side note why full brightness? The screen is really bright indoors even at min brightness.
XDA HD - Nexus 10 - my Unicorn has KTPUB wings....
Watching dark movies in between classes in bright light requires max brightness and even then its not quite bright enough for a clear picture. The only time max brightness hurts my eyes is darkness where I never use it.
Are you talking about outside? The only LCD I've ever been able to see clearly outside was the TF700T in IPS+ mode. That was quite amazing. It's a super-bright mode that I was even able to see clearly in full sun on Christopher Street Pier (in the middle of the water). That is the one and only thing I miss about the TF700T, which I returned for a variety of excellent reasons. The TF700T also had an option for a dock which contained a second battery under the keyboard to power this super-bright mode.
In general, I tend to use tablets indoors - they sit next to the couch. I look stuff up when I'm watching TV. Or maybe I want to check email without getting up. I also like them for reading books. It's a little too heavy for me to want to carry around. I have a great phone - that's enough "computer" for me to carry around. If I were between classes, I'd be more likely to read a book (which I can do on my phone) than watch a movie outside.
The ipad was perfectly viewable outside but I'm not even talking about outside. The glare is awful in a brightly lit halway between classes.
I have an iPad and I've used it outside (though I rarely use it at all anymore). The TF700T outside in IPS+ mode i. vastly better. It's hard to describe how much better. I'm talking full sunlight on a pier, out in the water where it can't get any brighter. It was so bright out I needed dark sunglasses. And yet the TF700T screen was easily and clearly visible, with colors as fully saturated as if I were indoors. It was amazing.
As for glare... That's easily fixed with an anti-glare screen protector. I don't use my N10 outside so I don't bother (gorilla glass doesn't scratch ve. easily), but I have one on my iPad. I can't remember the name of the company that makes the really d ones.
I do thank you for the suggestions but I wouldn't put an anti glare screen protector on my nexus 10. I dislike the grainy look it gives devices. The iPad was pretty sufficient for me outside. I wouldn't go for the Asus tablet because of the issues it had. The ipad was a good package and I really shouldnt have switched yet. I think one more year would have given me a better impression of android on tablets but now I've got the sour taste in my mouth from the reboots and battery life. I love my Note 2 but I may go back to the ipad when the next one comes out or if some sweet looking windows tablet comes out or go to a Note 10.1 tablet if Samsung releases one with a great display. No more nexuses for me for awhile.
And also, I love my Nexus 10! I don't have the problems with it that you have. The battery life on mine is really good. I don't use it at full brightness (that would hurt my eyes). Maybe mine is brighter than yours. I can't imagine having to turn it all the way up to see a movie, even in a bright room. I've never been bothered by glare, particularly. I have no light bleed. It's very stable, especially since the 4.2.2 update. The WiFi is rock solid. I don't have any of the problems I've heard people complain about. I have it loaded to the gills, and it works really well. I'm very happy with it.
I agree with you about the issues with Asus hardware. It was a nightmare. The only thing about the TF700T I miss was the IPS+ mode. That's why I returned it and got the Nexus 10 instead.
I got the TF700T because I was disgusted with my iPad. I've had it with Apple (don't get me started). Doesn't iOS seem horribly lacking after using Android? Which iPad do you have?
I thought about the Windows tablet. I have a friend who does work for Microsoft (freelance - he writes articles and books, and gives talks) and he got one before they were on the market, so I got to play with one very early. It's nice and I thought about getting one, but I think it's going to lose in the marketplace, and I didn't want to go with a loser. There aren't many apps for it, and it doesn't help that Windows Phone is bombing. My phone is Android, and if I get an Android tablet, all the apps I bought for my phone can go right onto my tablet - saves $$, and with Google backup it makes setup very easy.

Plus I like that the stock OS on Nexus tablets is pure Android without modification. I thought about the Note 2 because of the pressure sensitivity, but Samsung heavily modifies Android and then doesn't stay current with Android updates (and I don't like most of the Samsung enhancements). I like that Nexus tablets get the latest versions of Android first.
I really never understood this. What kept the iPad from being a laptop replacement that the Nexus 10 somehow fills? The custimization? The iPad performs better and has more tablet optimized apps. Its not like either truly multitask.
I honestly never believe a tablet replaces a laptop. Even when I had my iPad (which I really shouldn't have sold for this to be honest) it was just an in between device I used for class to take notes on.
Is there any conclusive evidence that this is the case in every Nexus 10 out there and not just in people running a custom kernel?
For the record, I can play NFS:MW for hours without a single frame drop, stock.
