             Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 is overall a good tablet. But considering its price there good tablets for the same range. Its performance is sluggish sometimes and is priced high also. It has a very stylish design when compared to transformer TF300 in the same price range but in the case of performance transformer take the lead. The quad-core Asus transformer pad TF300 is $20 less for the same storage and $400 gets you that tablet with 32GB of storage. The TF300 also includes Micro-HDMI and a higher-quality rear camera. But if you want a premium looking stylish tablet which is solidly built then you can go for galaxy tab 2 10.1.
