Actually, a good file manager is a must have item. Also, if I want to get eBooks not on Google Play, I can do so with an Android device - not so with an Apple device...

As for virus threats, you are need to be more informed and more knowledgeable and less fearful - even Macs get viruses...

I can't think one reason I would want a file manager on a tablet. But if it's really that important to a person, he or she still can do it by jailbreaking the device. I am sure 99 of users do not know what a file manager is on neither IOS or Android.

Apple is always focusing on their graphic and no one can argue with that. That's why a lot of graphic designers are using Apple product such as iMac or Mac Pro. But I still like my Android phone and table just bc I like the OS better. Not saying which platform is better than the other, bc they both have their pros and cons, and we can never have a clear winner.

omg the benchmarks are 100% representation of real life! I must by an ipad now because this benchmark told me so!

If (benchmarks == ANDROID_BEST) printf ("Very good benchmarks! Very good Android %s.", product);

If (benchmarks != ANDROID_BEST) printf "Benchmarks are stupid and worthless.");

there is something incredibly wrong with some of those tests. You have the adreno 225 blowing away the adreno 320 and mali400 in some tests. There is OBVIOUSLY an issue with driver support in those tests.

However, for the ones where everything is as it should be, the gap between "true A15" in the exynos 5 dual and wannabe krait A15 "equivilant" BS couldnt be any more clear.

The devices are running different software if you look at screenshot of the review tablets/phones released by Google, and they will be updated on 13th to final software. You speak as if your knowledgeable but just another American idiot, can't figure out its a software issue, remember the GS2 poor performance before it was released and the articles claiming Samsung dropped the ball, same here

47. networkdood posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:12 1

Idiot - speaking of..it is you're (you are) knowledgeable...not your (which is a possessive word).

53. networkdood posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:23

well, it is true, if you are going to call somebody an idiot, you best be prepared...

102. KingKurogiii posted on 05 Nov 2012, 18:14

dude, you're the idiot. he caught on to the inconsistencies, he just didn't happen to see the different versions of the tested devices' software and he speculated that it may be a driver issue which it is. how about cutting the guy a little bit of slack huh?

58. ngo2dd posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:28

This only show GPU not the CPU so how is there a gap ?

60. remixfa posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:29

you do realize there is a wide generational gap between the mali400/adreno225 and even a bit on the adreno 320 vs the mali600 and powerVR chips right?

62. ngo2dd posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:32

and what do that to do with the A15 cpu chipset? the GPU are independence of the CPU chipset.

97. TylerGrunter posted on 05 Nov 2012, 15:52

It´s not a problem with the drivers, Anand did a Glbenchmark test with ALL test included when he did the Nexus 4. It seems that the GPU got too hot and limited itself, so the tests were crap...
You can read the whole article and the why the results with the Adreno 320 in the Nexus 4 were so low here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6425/google-nexus-4-and-nexus-10-review

Not to mention that he was using a non-final softeware version...

26. TimTebow posted on 05 Nov 2012, 09:16 4

andtech are big apple homers, hard to take them seriously after a while.

always biased tests.

29. Shino posted on 05 Nov 2012, 09:23 3 1

Anyone, surprised? This is Apple, after all. Unlike the numerous yellowish brands using Handroid, there is a lot of thinking put behind each one of their products.

Lol fandroids retreat in shame

90. Zero0 posted on 05 Nov 2012, 14:04 1 2

Not so.

Fandroids wait for finalized software to be released in a week and a half, because there is evidence to suggest that this isn't fully optimized.

33. _Bone_ posted on 05 Nov 2012, 09:44

Even though 4.2 isn't even finished and N10 benchmarks will improve overtime, it's pretty clear that the new new iPad has the fastest GPU out there and will stay that way until the 8-core T604 comes out early next year. I think Samsung always knew the 4-core Mali will be overshadowed by the new new iPad, but they didn't expect it to come out this year - even before the Nexus 10! But that's the Surface effect to you, Windows 8 fut some fear into the competition, and looking at the expensive specs the iPad must be Apple's least profitable product for now, the N10 must cost a lot for Sammy too.

We win.

49. networkdood posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:15 2

Profit is not important to the consumer - it is bottom line price. Take the Ipad mini vs the Nexus 7 - why would anyone want a mini ipad at 150.00 or more in price?

48. networkdood posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:14 2 2

This forum epitomizes what Forest Gump was said....
"Stupid is as stupid does"

Benchmarks are not the only thing you go by, but it is nice to see a device you like score high...wait until they are officially sold in stores and everyday people start benchmarking their Nexus 10 before looking stupid and passing judgment.

56. Retro-touch posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:27 1 1

Thought you were a troll giving English lessons in your free time, good thing I was wrong. PC GPU makers stopped using benchmarks years ago because its not indicative of performance, where some manufacturers were getting better scores but games ran smoother on lower scoring competition, which brings the question, what is the best indicator of performance? And that's day-to-day performance, actually using a technology/software/hardware

59. networkdood posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:29 1

Yeah, I had seen that you knew your stuff, but many don't and put on their pompoms...lol

Day-to-day performance and personal preference...something Android gives everyone. I just love flashing a new ROM on my Nexus 7 - went from Clean ROM to Glazed Jelly 4.1.2. Runs great for me, as video playback performance is number one priority on my tablet and I found some things that improve it.

63. Googlethis posted on 05 Nov 2012, 10:41 1

Cool you gave me some things to think about. Thank you.

iOS fans: admit the nexus 10 is a great product especially for the price. Benchmarks don't determine real world use.
Android fans: admit the ipad 4 is a powerhouse as well, apple knows how to make their hardware and software work together perfectly.
Get what you like and don't be like a two year old going and telling people they picked the wrong tablet and insult their intelligence because of their choice. Is it really that big of a deal to you that a total stranger doesn't have your favorite tablet, so you feel the need to insult them?

65. Xquisite posted on 05 Nov 2012, 11:04 2 1

*When the benchmarks are in androids favor* Lmao iOS is s**t, Android ftw, only dumb people buy that overpriced s**t.

*When the benchmarks are in iOS favor" Seriously benchmarks don't mean anything, it's all about real world use.

72. chaoticrazor posted on 05 Nov 2012, 11:59 1

Same can be said when when its in apples favor and the ifans start cheering lie in some way this men's there better then those who use other products

This is full of fan boys, and your trying to fan the flames....

78. syedzain posted on 05 Nov 2012, 12:15 1 1

Then what are u doing here,,, throwing Petrol on the Flames :P

80. chaoticrazor posted on 05 Nov 2012, 12:22 2

Nope just stating it works both ways and as your a apple troll you prove the piont .

Stop you fanboyism its sad

66. Scientist posted on 05 Nov 2012, 11:13 3 1

This is a huge disappointment.

71. nacho69 posted on 05 Nov 2012, 11:50

The iPad 4 has between 2X-4X GPU performance according to the charts, but I guess trailing also means outclassed.

76. syedzain posted on 05 Nov 2012, 12:13 1

is it me or its the chart that shows only apple at the top 3 place :)

83. ngo2dd posted on 05 Nov 2012, 12:58 1 1

Is it more or ITI is the one that make the GPU and not apple because the Sony has those GPU in the Vita. So I guess it is TI make great GPU and not Apple.

93. syedzain posted on 05 Nov 2012, 14:21 1

Still android aka nexus 10 get face palmed :)

98. ngo2dd posted on 05 Nov 2012, 15:54 1 2

Wow you are a troll. Apple get a good chip from TI. The GPU is design by TI so give credit where it is do. TI did a good gob with it. Not apple there.

103. KingKurogiii posted on 05 Nov 2012, 18:17 1

it's not designed by Texas Instruments, they just make use of the design in their SoC's. Imagination Technologies is the parent company behind the PowerVR line.

114. syedzain posted on 05 Nov 2012, 22:10 2 1

Lol when apple kicks android , we become troll. But when its vice versa.. u guys become Genius right ???

Look who's troll now :)

Nothing surprising here...everyone knows power vr CPUs are best!

nice...super nice...

122. AndroidShiz posted on 11 Nov 2012, 20:11 1

Wait a minute. Let's just have a moment to mediate quietly on all that Apple has done. They introduced the iPod and then cloned it in different shapes over the last 7 years changing nothing. Since then they've introduced amazing things such as wallpaper behind the icons, over priced phone bills that affect everyone no matter what phone you have, and an amazing pull down shade. Apple doesn't simply suck. They suck on levels that leave you...in...awe. Mind...blown. Respect the suck. Respect it.

125. elandrumiii posted on 24 Nov 2012, 08:06

Nobody said anything about the design or what the screen has on it. But i guess you had to find something else you felt was key issue but had nothing to do with article at hand. We all know when the next android phone drops in 20 minutes or supper phone drops in 1-5 days it will trump the iPhones specs garaunteed because it always happens. Just like the Nexus phones the iPhone will sell not because it is a top spec phone because it is consistent and will be supported with out needing a third party intervention for years to come

124. phonemonkey posted on 16 Nov 2012, 10:10

of course when android doesnt win it comes back to a price issue
