$659.99 for black 32 gb wifi. I just called bestbuy and they will credit me the $50 to my BB card. So now it's already down $100 from inaugural price. Are we heading to $600?
Been waiting for this tablet to drop its price. Not sure when that will happen.
How does Samsung Note Pro keep its value? My husband said that Samsung devices don't usually hold their value very well compared to Apple. Not sure about that because my Note 3 seems to still be around 350.00. I think that's pretty good! He doesn't want me getting this tablet but another iPad. I've had the 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation iPad! What's the difference? Nothing. Sold them all. I want this tablet!
They did drop the price by $50, so it really is anyone's guess on when the next drop will come. Since you have the note 3 as your phone (am assuming) I would stay with the samsung simply because you are already familiar with it's OS. Your apps that work on the note 3 will work on this tablet. As for the ipads, the new Air will be announced early June at the WWDC so I would wait on getting one until you heard more about it. I can said that this tablet and the ipad Air are very similar, each having their own strengths and weaknesses. I have both OS and like both equally. I don't think the value of the 12.2 will drop for awhile so I wouldn't consider that to be a deciding factor. The pro series will hold their value I think more so than other samsung devices. In some ways the 12.2 has several advantages that the ipads do not have at this point. I like the s pen feature, the screen is awesome for watching movies and I would consider it as equal to the ipad only brighter. I like the ability to add not only an sd card but also an external hard drive using a micro to OTG plug.
Bottom line, it should be your choice on which OS and device you end up with not your husbands. Hold your ground and get the tablet that you want and makes you happy not what makes your husband happy! Remember Girl you have the power hold your ground and get the one you want!!
When did you originally buy your 12.2? I bought mine there too.
Amazon hasn't been as cheap as they used to for a while now. And with sales tax, it's hard to justify at times. But they still have excellent service and fast shipping times.
And if that's not a priority, there are always 3rd party sellers that Amazon will make sure stay in check. Just have to watch their return policies as they do tend to be more strict.
