[Q] How is the tablet after a lot of use?

[Branford]

I really want to buy this tablet over the iPad. I really really don't like iOS, and I love all the features that the note has, but I can't justify my purchase if it's going to act up after a while. I've owned a few android devices that worked great at first, but then seemed to slow down and crash a lot as time went on (HTC Evo, Asus tf101)

So basically my question is for those who have had it for a while - does it still perform like it did when you bought it? And for anyone, are there a lot of issues with crashes, force closes, hangups, freezing, etc.?

Still works like brand new.

But what sort of time frame are you talking any drive will slow down and tire out eventually.

never had that problem with any Android product. I have owned for about a year and still runs like the day I bought it. Running stock. Not true for me running hacked Rom though.

I know it will somewhat, I just want it to give me a good amount of use over 2 years or so at least. My evo had basically given up by a year and a half

That's good news! I'm assuming you're rooted, does running different roms mess with the overall performance? I know different ones perform differently I mean the ability of the processor I guess

Almost a year old on 2 note 10.1's... No different than the day they were bought, well, JB did speed things up somewhat... You may find slow down and lag if you use all the internal memory. That will happen to any pc...

Depends what you're looking for in a rom.. I find rooted stock fine but there are other tweaks and mods you can use.
Lets be honest, with 2gb of ram it runs pretty damn fast and doesn't really need too many mods, might be why not many roms in developement....

I had my Note since October 2012 ... it's pretty good with little lag after using lots of apps ... Rooted it since two weeks and tried a custom ROM but nothing matches multi window and Spen integration
