I know the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 was released in 2014.
-Is it worth buying in late 2016 or early 2017?
-brand new or factory refurbished?
Thanks

IMO no, the only tablets worth buying at all are the iPad Pro and the Google Pixel C.
Vs a somewhat bad 2014 tablet? Both win no contest IMO, despite missing the pen and the size different.The Pixel C is not a replacement as it only has a 10 in screen. The iPadPod might, but the lack of expandability is an issue.
From what I can find from a lengthy search, the biggest drawback has been that Samsung appears to have abandoned further android updates for the Note Pro 12.2". (Considering the relatively high cost of what, at the time, was supposedly their "flagship" tablet, I'm terribly disappointed in Samsung for that).
I bought a brand new, WiFi-only version in Jan. 2015, and the most recent update available is 5.02. If you're willing to live with the comparatively "old" version of Android, the tablet itself still functions well. I find myself wondering how long it will be before apps stop working correctly due to unavailable android updates.
Pretty much covers my feelings. I moved up to a 12" format to view and mark up electrical drawings while I am out on the production floor. I find Hancom Office for Galaxy tablets works pretty well for word and excel documents, with the exception of older Microsoft legacy documents. But the demand for large format android tablets is very small. So I guess the next tablet will have to be a surface pro with its limited battery time.
