A:Answer I thought about a Note, but the advantages of the Note are the stylus & some processing power & perhaps a slight edge on running multiple apps. It's also heavier. I use the Galaxy for almost everything I'd use a tablet for, the exception being video & music recording & editing. Screen is awesome as is the camera. For what you're going to use a device for, either one will work, but I'd suggest the Galaxy S4 or 5.
