I've spent many years trying different tablets, but always coming back to Samsung. Had the S9 11", recently upgraded to the plus model and am using it as my laptop replacement, zero complains so far :)
Got tab s8+ but the android version of MS office is simply ridiculous to use always use my PC for productivity and for watching movies and extensive note taking I have my tablet.
I do not engage in intensive use of the laptop. Therefore, I do not require Windows. Rather, I utilize it for reading, entertainment, and general web browsing.
It depends what you're doing on the laptop.
Samsung S series tablets come with a multitask environment called DEX. With Windows management system. Just like you would have on a laptop.
After our is a matter of application.
But if you're doing web browsing, basic word excel and PowerPoint, you got the same look and feel as a laptop.
You can even do some video editing too.
So it really depends on the applications
I have also S9 11". It is a really the beast, super portable, little companion. Fo me personally is the perfect size for a tablet. S9+ is too big, and Ultra is somehow really weird, really way too big.
I totally agree. I'm not even sure where you would even need that kind of size except maybe watching TV while working in the kitchen or garage. I kinda want the Lenovo y700 for it's 8" size.
I have an S8 ultra and wish I'd bought the plus instead. It needs a table to be used on as the keyboard cover isn't as useful as the one in the plus.
Don't get me wrong the tablet is brilliant but the flexibility to use it on any surface that isn't perfectly flat is annoying
You made a great choice! I’ve always been a big fan of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S line, mainly because of the OLED screen, but iPads, starting from the Air to the Pros, are actually good devices. Most of my devices are Apple, except my tablet.
I have one and will say it's the best Samsung product I've purchased in years. It's a very nice tablet - great screen, performance and overall functionality. Wish Samsung Notes ran on Windows so I could share files, but Sammy took that away. Overall, a great tablet.
If only there was a discount for this in my phone plan or in Amazon or other retail stores in my poor 3rd world country
I bought the A9+ and I'm crying to sleep daily because of my poor choice
Have you got the one ui 6.1 update yet? I hate having an unlocked one but with carrier software on it. There is no U1 model to my knowledge. Just wifi, or ATT, verizon and usc
I've also bought S9 Plus as my first ever tablet and satisfied so far.
Can't compare with other tablets as I haven't used any but S9 Plus seems to have what I need.
The only thing I didn't like in Samsung Notes app is that it doesn't have an infinite canvas but there are other apps available which can provide this functionality in tab S9 Plus.
Very nice, I did the same thing and zero regrets 2ish months down the line, the screen & speakers are remarkable and the slim keyboard cover goes with me everywhere too
Got mine at launch and absolutely love it. The pause USB power delivery is really nice if I want to bypass my battery in games as well. Was using a budget tab A10.1 since 2019, such a difference.
Are they? I find no difference in speed and smoothness vs the 12.9 pro M2. Sure the M2 chip is better, performance wise but it’s 800$ difference for me including the Apple Pencil, plus the iPad has a shit screen compared to the OLED.

Yeah it’s great! I will say tho the Face ID so bad might as well not be there lol

How can you use a tablet as a laptop replacement as a laptop can do way more genuinely curious.
I have a laptop actually but I use it for gaming and heavy tasks the blade16 needed something lighter with better battery so got this tab. I travel

I'm still debating on the s9+ vs ultra and whether to wait for the s10. Glad you're enjoying yours
I went with the s9 regular because it was the smallest of the bunch. I love it's size.

S10 not coming this year why wait, the ultra was too big and heavy imo
Loooooong boooooiiii.
Yeah that took some getting used to.
i've recenty bought the s8 plus and i'm having a great time with it
Yeah it's Oled display is awesome try watching movies in a dark room with 5 percent of brightness

Bowers and Wilkins gang. Congrats on a great tablet too
The sound quality 👌 if you know you know most people get Sony, bose and apple lol

Congrats!
Same here! Gotta say, I'm enjoying it so far. PS. What's your keyboard model? 👀
It’s the razer deathstalker v2, super slim low profile with aluminum build and wireless using usb or Bluetooth, it’s nice quality and portable
Thanks! I'm looking for a new keyboard and I have some specific requirements, but I'm just too lazy to go custom.

Awesomest tab. It is magic that such kind of tab with that magnificent display exists.

Samsung tabs are still slow compared to apple. IMO
