The N96 is stuck with 1200x825 resolution (about 150ppi), whereas both max2 and note have screens with better resolution (208 and 227 ppi respectively).

With a 9.7" screen at that ppi, you will likely need to switch to landscape mode frequently to read some academic pdf papers comfortably.

I would say, the only advantage of N96 over the newer devices is price and the sd card slot.
