Previous to purchasing my Tab S, I used an IPad for web browsing and email rather than powering up my desktop. I purchased the IPad for my wife but she seldom Lynn used it so I ended up with it.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 has stupendous hardware, but it narrowly lags behind the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet as our Android tablet of choice.

It's not my first Samsung product, but they have really stuffed this with pointless proprietary software more than usual. And now, you can't even remove the shortcuts, so I have "my galaxy" cluttering up my home screen forever. At least the built in Google guff like g+ can be hidden away.

After destroying my laptop with a cup of water in the spring I have been debating on the decision to buy a tablet or to buy a new laptop. Given the price of this tablet I could have easily bought a core i-5 laptop with much more memory and a huge hard drive and video capability.

Samsung has aimed high with the Tab S, and met its target: this pair of premium tablets are serious competition for Apple's iPad, thanks to a gorgeous screen, some serious horsepower and impressive battery life.

I've never owned a tablet but I am a laptop junkie since I am an avid blogger {ten years} and a very busy mom of four kids and a soon to be grandmother. This Samsung Tablet is more than I ever dreamed it could be. Light and easy to use! The battery LASTS!

Awesome, really enjoy using it for both personal and business

This is the best tablet I own. The video play back on this tablet is amazing. It's got all the usual things like micro sd slot , blue tooth ect. Can't believe how thin and light this is.

very slim; really high screen res; incredibly fast
