what's up guys david here from pump up and when you look at the iPhone 5s in the Galaxy Note 3 side-by-side you can easily tell that there are two very different devices targeted at different groups of people but yet when you look at the iPad air in the Galaxy Note 10.1 which are both kind of just bigger screen versions of their smartphone counterparts the difference between them isn't anywhere near as glaring and that's because with their tablets both Apple and Samsung are targeting a more similar demographic within that 10 inch tablet space but that doesn't necessarily mean that the tablets themselves are any more similar to one another than the smartphones because in many ways the opposite is actually true so in this video and in typical phonebook fashion we're going to be looking at 10 advantages that each of these tablets has over the other and hopefully by the end you'll have a much better idea as to which tablet is the best one for you let's go ahead and get right into it alright so the first advantage the iPad air has over the note 10.1 2014 edition is it's better overall performance while the specialy would have you believe that the note 10.1 is beefy quad core processor and 3 gigabytes of RAM could easily I'll perform the iPad Air's dual-core a7 chip with this 1 gigabyte of RAM this isn't really the case while actually in that performance is similar on both tablets switching in and out of those apps or just navigating throughout the UI in general is much smoother and much more responsive on the iPad with the note stuttering and lagging from time to time but that doesn't mean the Note 10.1 high-end specs don't make a difference in fact because it has three times the amount of RAM the Note 10.1 first advantage over the iPad is this impressive multitasking ability which allows you to use two three or even four apps on the screen at the same time which really takes advantage of the extra screen real estate and can help reduce how often you have to switch back and forth between those abs in the first place - now speaking of apps while Android is quickly catching up as of right now iOS still has more tablet optimized apps available which is a clear advantage for the iPad air Samson does counter with the demands of its own which is the single biggest thing that separates the note 10.1 from the iPad or just about any other tablet for that matter in the S Pen simply put the S Pen is what makes the Note 10.1 live up to its name giving you the best note-taking experience available on any tablet 3 on the subject of living up to its name the iPad air is significantly lighter weight makes holding the tablet for long periods of time whether you're browsing the web or watching videos much easier and less cramping on your hands than on the note 10.1 now while the Note 10.1 can't really counter the iPads lighter weight directly it does come with the advantage of having an IR blaster allowing you to control your TV right from the tablet so you can conveniently manage what you watch the big screen for but the IR blaster is in the note 10.1 s only multimedia advantage it's higher resolution screen with its 16 by 9 aspect ratio makes for a better video experience in the notes than on the iPad where the iPads 4:3 aspect ratio results in a bunch of letterboxing that effectively turns that nine point seven inch screen into a smaller eight point seven screen which needless to say isn't ideal for video but not all is bad with the iPads aspect ratio in fact the advantage of having a 4:3 ratio is that it makes for a better and roomier portrait experience that's great for browsing the web or using apps and combined with more realistic colors on the Retina display the iPad air screen still offers a great overall experience 5 since we're still talking about it the other advantage the note 10.1 has in the multimedia Department is its speakers now both the iPad air and the note 10.1 have loud and great sounding stereo speakers but because both of the iPad speakers are located at the bottom you don't really get that stereo effect on the note 10.1 on the other hand you do get the effect with a speaker placed on each side which is just a better smarter design but of course when it comes to overall design well that advantage goes to the iPad air with its premium aluminum body with just amazing attention to detail that the note 10.1 is polycarbonate or plastic body can't really match six while your purchasing decision may not and honestly should not be based off the tablets camera I'm still going to cover it here for you guys so when it comes to the cameras the two tablets are split the higher resolution 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash is an overall better performer than the ISAT camera on the back of the iPad mainly due to the flash more than anything else but the front-facing camera is a bit better on the iPad despite having a slightly lower resolution so it really comes down to if you prefer taking selfies or taking pictures in really low light where a flash is handy 7 unlike smartphones tablets aren't as personal of devices and often get shared with friends and family so the seventh advantage the Galaxy Note 10.1 has over the iPad air is this support for multiple user profiles similar to how you can set up different accounts for different people on a computer you can do the same thing with the note 10.1 with each member of the family being able to make their own little space with their own wallpapers their own apps etc keeping everyone's stuff separate and a little bit more private now while the iPad air can necessarily directly counter this advantage at least for right now it does have the advantage of being able to be used by you your friends and your family for a longer period of time with its battery lasting anywhere between one and three hours longer depending on the type of usage 8 another advantage the iPad air has over the note 10.1 is its tablet friendly gestures want to quickly switch between apps just swipe across the screen with all five of your fingers want to return to the home screen pinch those same five fingers in want to go back a step simply slide one finger across the screen gestures like these can make navigating the West just a little bit faster and more convenient and is a really nice feature to have of course when it comes to features Samsung's Galaxy Note has more than enough to counter things like smart stay keep the screen on as long as you're looking at it end touch whizzes motion controls offer a few gestures of its own like taking a screenshot by simply swiping your palm across the screen 9 you're in and you're out the iPad is always a popular choice among consumers and because of that it has the advantage of having a larger selection of accessories available as more and more third-party manufacturers trying to cash in on the IFS market share but in advantage the note 10.1 has that just may cancel out some of those third-party accessories is this OTG support which allows you to easily connect your own USB peripherals like a keyboard or mouse with a simple OTG cable that can cost less than $10 which can potentially save you some good hard cash on accessories 10 speaking of cash the entry-level 16 gigabyte iPad air will run you a cool $500 well the same entry-level 16 gigabyte Galaxy Note 10.1 sells for 550 making the iPad air much too many people surprised $50 cheaper however the Note 10.1 does have an advantage that can't make up for this price difference in that it has an expandable microSD card slot so if you need more than just 16 gigabytes of storage an additional 64 gigabytes will cost you less than $50 in the note whereas on the iPad going with the 64 gigabyte model will cost you an extra $200 so it really does depend on your storage needs alright guys it's pretty much it for me in this comparison at the end of the day both of these tablets do a lot of the same thing so if you're just looking to go on Facebook browse the web and play some games here and there you can't really go wrong with either but because these tablets are so different one of them is most likely a better fit for you than the other so hopefully this video has helped you figure out which one that is anyways if you found the video helpful that like button is sitting down below in
