While quad core sounds great, the internal (not storage) memory is probably important also. A few months ago I tested an android tablet for use with very, very large image pdf files (800+ pages scanned at 600dpi), and it took the tablet over 3 MINUTES to turn a page for the pdf! I tried several different pdf aps and none worked any better so the problem obviously resided with the reader or the Android system. Needless to say I returned the tablet to BestBuy, and scratched the idea of using one for image pdf file reading. With my dual core desk pc, turning a page of the same pdf book took about 2 seconds.
