What's great about it: Works as supposed to
What's not so great: First one was broken, backup software not as good as WD
Bought this a few weeks ago when my original 1TB harddrive filled up. The original one I picked up was poorly manufactured and none of the ports lined up, so I had to return it. The 2nd one has worked great so far. This isn't the fastest hard drive on the market in terms of read/write, but if you just need to store a ton of movies, pictures, songs or any large files, this will definitely work for you. The 3TB equates to around 2.7 TB of storage.
Wasn't a fan of the software it comes with. Windows gives you an option to auto back up everything and you can set the destination to this harddrive.
This product has... Reliable, Included software is not useful, Quiet, Large capacity/good size

What's great about it: Speed, range, ease of set up
I've had this router for about 5 weeks now. I would rate this an excellent router, it's very easy to set up and connect to. The speed is excellent. Switching over from an N300 router, my ping dropped about 10-15ms on the online game I play which IMO made it worth it. Also i used to get 4 bars connectivity in my office room, now I have 5 bars anywhere on my property. I have had to reset it once, which is the only complaint I've had but that might have been my other devices fault not the routers fault and hasn't happened since.
I've tried to stress it streaming netflix, but I only have 6 devices that can stream to, and even with 6 streams going at once it didn't affect my network or ping at all. So if you have a large house or stream a lot, this could be a great router to pick up.
This product has... Fast connection, Dual band, ultra easy set up, phone/tablet app is easy to use

What's great about it: fast, screen, battery
What's not so great: No issues at all so far
Seems to be the best tablet you could buy right now. Incredible screen, nice battery life, solid build, the s pen is easy to learn. Seems almost overloaded with cool little features (easy to disable any you don't want to use) If you have the money and want a top tablet I would certainly recommend this one.
A couple reviews online mentioned some OS lag which made me iffy about the tablet but absolutely no lag at all and I've used it quite a bit.
This product is... responsive touch screen, easy to set up, lightning fast, Perfect for Business, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold

What's great about it: Amazing smart phone addition
What's not so great: Takes more than 1 app to set up
I'd say for anyone that can easily navigate their bluetooth, smartphone menu's and app store this is a great purchase. I'd recommend anyone that's curious at least pick one up, Best Buy has a 15 day return policy. Pick one up, and try it out. If you don't think it's worth it just return it. I can easily see in a few years smartwatches will become a common sight.
I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could. It's not perfect, but it's very good at what it does.
Great: nav directions, text, email, phonecalls on my wrist, ablitity to launch/control any music player, and song info displayed on the screen. Quick preprogrammed text responses (only takes 3 button pushes) current uses: I'm on my way, Can't talk at School/work talk to you asap, Okay, Hey Whats up?. Might not sound like much but it's much more convenient than typing them out on my phone.
Not great: obviously the plastic band it comes with isn't flashy, but you can get a replacement for it fairly cheep, and a non-centralized app store means you have to search for apps.
I would recommend this to a friend!

could read an usb external hardrive?
I would like to known that this device could read an external usb hardrive like seagate or western digital. I got a chinese tablet that could read a 1Tgb but got broke the otg cable. And very hard to find for replacement to this kind of csble. I am planning to buy a new one which confirmed to read an external usb hardrive.
If you pick up the Galaxy Tab USB connection kit, yes you can connect thumbsticks or harddrives. I have a 3TB network drive that I can access wirelessly from my Note as well.

can we use it as a cell phone
To my knowledge no, there is not a data/LTE version of this tablet out. There are apps you can download such as skype that will allow you to talk or message over the device though if you are connect to Wi-Fi.

Kindle fire hdx 8.9
can I transfer all my info (books, games, everything) from my kindle hdx 8.9 to a Samsung galaxy note 10.1?
You should be able to, as you can access the amazon store through the tablet. I had several cd bought on amazon that downloaded without any problem to my Note 2014

it's a new tablet, why doesn't it have the latest os (kitkat)? can it be updated?
it runs jellybean but kitkat is out, so can it be updated? also, when 5.0 comes out will it be available for the tablets?
The operating system for android is made by Google. In order to do the update, Samsung has to make the OS update ready for the tablet. You should have the new OS within 2-3 weeks. If you bought a google nexus tablet, you would already have the new OS, but it just takes a little time for it to get released to Samsung, then they have to release it to you.

Does this tablet also function as a hotspot outside of any wi fi like my old school samsung tablet?
There is currently no hot spot feature in any of the menus or settings. I wouldn't expect that unless they released a 4G version

Is the screen fully HD?
Is the screen fully HD? I was unable to buy some apps from the play store because the current 10.1 didn't have HD capabilities. Also, I'm struggling to figure out the major difference between this one and the one I have already.
I believe so, if there's a free HD app I'll gladly download it and let you know my results. I tried 3 different HD games and they all worked great

What SD Cards can I use in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Tablet?
It requires a microSD card. It will only take up to 32gb. I'd recommend the San Disk 32 micro SD class 10 card, but any micro sd under 32gb should work for you.
San DIsk 32gb Micro:
