Buying the Note 10.1

This is the first Android tablet that I'm going to buy (mainly because of the S-pen). After doing some research, it seems that Samsung has a history of releasing updates for Android very late. Is this a deal breaker? If I root the device, could I upgrade as soon as Google releases the newest Android upgrades?

I wouldn't think so, they already said it would be getting Jelly Bean. And really ICS is really nice. As for root, I believe you could as long as there is one available for rooted devices.
 
I don't know that Samsung updates "late".

The All Things Root forum sticky has a link to CM10/JB ROM.
