Hadn't used my original Max in ages to surf the web, so I thought I would try it out to answer your question. Found it a bit annoying for several reasons:
1. Had to use the stylus to scroll as there is no capacitive touch layer on the original Max. When scrolling down a long page, plastic sliding along plastic is just not a very pleasant sensation. When drawing or taking notes, one usually doesn't make such long strokes so one does not notice it as much.
2. There was a fair bit of flashing as the page loaded and each time it refreshed when scrolling.
3. Some photographs on a regular news site didn't load.
Then I tried the exact same sites with the Note and it was a much more pleasurable process. Scrolling with a finger was very smooth and pages loaded quickly with a minimum of flashing. Having the virtual page up/down buttons also made navigating up and down a page quick and effortless. All the photos on the news site loaded quickly.
Although I wouldn't really want to watch many videos on either device, I went on to YouTube to see what the difference in experience would be. Curiously, the sound quality was better on the original Max than on the Note on which the sound quality was somewhat choppy. However, on the Note, the video was actually viewable in A2 mode whereas it wasn't on the original Max.
All in all, I wouldn't be inclined to surf the web much on the original Max. However, on the Note, it is quite possible to do so.
