There is no LCD tablet (iPad, Surface etc) that is great to use outdoors. My Galaxy Note works well; perhaps yours was a defective unit? The Note pen is too small as you found out but it is designed to be fit in the phone so that's a trade-off. However the Galaxy Note is Wacom based are there are many other pens that work with phone. I use a big pen from an old tablet Pc on the Note. The Note series with its Wagon digitizer also has a much higher resolution than the Surface with 1024 pressure levels. I would buy the Galaxy Note Pro (13") as well but I'm waiting for the Surface Pro 4

I've pretty much found my Note indispensable. The amount of crap I used to drag along to meetings (notebooks, papers, pens, etc.) is down to zero. I've gone through entire days bouncing around meeting to meeting with my portable "office" in my pocket and nothing else. I can't see going back to a non-pen-enabled device any time soon. Every once in a while I find myself forgetting about the Note and looking for a pad of paper or a pen somewhere (because I don't have any on my desk any more) and slapping myself because I don't need those things anymore. I've toyed with getting a Note Pro, but it's just too expensive IMHO. If it was down to within $50-100 of the same sized regular tablet I might dive in. Bonus: killing time with FlipaClip has brought me more fun than I've had since I was 10 years old.
