Creative people are always in the search of new ways of expressing themselves while career-oriented individuals are in a constant search to be productive anytime and anywhere. Samsung, given their pursuit of offering innovations that surprise and delight consumers, is, once again, introducing a product designed to encourage creativity, enable productivity and facilitate better learning.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 offers both the power and portability of a notebook PC married with the creative tools used by most digital artists. The 1.4GHz Quad Core processor combined with 2GB RAM enables the Galaxy Note 10.1 to be, to date, the only truly multi-tasking device. It’s MULTI SCREEN capability allows one to split the screen between different apps and programs at the same time. Google searches can be done while writing reports, or searched images open while being rendered in caricature. POP UP PLAY lets you watch videos while doing other tasks on your tablet. And, with the pop-up screen now able to be sized to the user’s desire, the multi-tasking experience is truly amazing. SMART STAY guarantees that the Galaxy Note 10.1 won’t go to sleep as long as it senses that your eyes are still on it’s screen.
