Any of you also use a tablet

Re: Any of you also usr a tablet

To answer OP’s question, I have a dual boot Android and Windows 10 tablet that mostly used for consumption plus some light weight work. There are also a couple of employer provided iPads with cellular data used mostly for work.

My Notebook 5 is Intel Core I5, 8 Gb ram, touch screen, real keyboard. My keyboard doesn't detach or fold backwards but that's fine with me. I believe it has a 1 TB harddrive too.

That's a nice one. Do they make one with a SSD? I've decided to quit buying the old style hard drives in favor of SSD

I use the Tab s 10 inch I think. It's old so I don't remember. When it needs to be replaced I'm thinking about the Samsung Chromebook.

Re: Any of you also usr a tablet

tab s3 I use in fact I've completely done away with my laptop

Me too, lol. I use my phone or my TabS.

Re: Any of you also usr a tablet

I recently got the Tab S3 too,but not the keyboard. I'm wondering if this tablet & keyboard (and Note 8) could replace my dying computer for awhile..?

Ya know, I think it could replace a pc but it depends on what type of work you want to do on it. You don't have to get the keyboard case, a Bluetooth keyboard that you like should work. Pair up with a wireless printer and you're all set.

Re: Any of you also usr a tablet

There is one game in particular - WGT Golf - that is quite restricted on my phone and on the tablets I've used. On my Notebook 5 laptop, it's fully functional and works like a charm. There's a use for all three really - for me at least for the time being, my NOte 8 of course, and my Notebook 5 laptop. I may end up getting a tablet in the future sometime again though.

Lol you called yourself a Weirdo. We're all in that grouping I think lol

Love my Note 8, the new Tab S3, and this keyboard I got today for it- Getting the case for the tablet tomorrow. Also have the S3 Frontier watch. Love tech stuff.View attachment 276721

Lol you described me to a T! I am a Samsung freak, this is my list:


Phones
-------------
Note 8
S7 Edge (going to sell it)
S6 Edge (work phone, will be getting S9 soon)
Note 3 (I missed the sell window so I mess with it from time to time, lol)

Tablets
--------------
Galaxy Tab Pro S
Galaxy Tab S2 9.7
Galaxy Tab E 8.0 (My 4G car radio, lol)
Galaxy Tab E 8.0 (work tab, it was free, lol)
Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (missed the sell window)

Smart watches
--------------------------
Galaxy Gear (the first Samsung smart watch, I couldn't part with her )
Galaxy Gear S (I like to wear it every now and then, plus it can be stand alone when I want to go without the phone)
Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier (by far my favorite watch, ever)

And this list isn't including all of the accessories I own, lol

Now to keep on the topic, the Tab Pro S is more like a laptop than a tablet, so I can't use that like I can my S2 or one of my E's. I wouldn't recommend the Tab E for anything more then surfing the web or social media, that's why I love it in my car, especially with 4G, I can listen to my Google play without having to tether my phone. I would love to one day do the tablet head unit mod, because that would be the ultimate head unit!

Does Surface count? used mostly in tablet form.

I saw this article from last month hinting in Feb the tab s4 will be unveiled. Should I wait on the tab s3 purchase, or is this just a bogus rumor?

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Specs, Release Date and Price – Tech Prophesy

 

[Blues Fan]

What does everyone think about buying an open Box from somewhere like Best Buy if the price is good? If I'm using it for a business and customers will touch it, would it be a better buy?

 

[ClintRo]

There is always something better around the corner....LOL. I would go as long as I could because even if the S3 meets your need the price drops each month and if they do announce it the Tab S3 price will drop quick.

Well I just scored an amazing deal on Facebook market. Grabbed a Samsung galaxy tab E 9.6inch for $50! Other than a very minor scratch on the screen its in excellent condition. I will be using it for games and reading. My Lenovo tab 3 8inch will be put to light duty as a dedicated kitchen companion to my Google home speaker.

 

[Gray Area]

And they are correct. Why use something expensive and flashy when a cheaper and more practical alternative will suffice. It's like a car. A $4,000 used, but mechanically sound car, will get you to your destination just as well as a $40,000 new car will. Yes, I know that a $4,000 used car is not as flashy or cool as the $40,000 one.

This my friend is why I drive a 10yr old paid for Hyundai! Lol I plan to save my flash until I am able to purchase a Corvette or Cadillac cts-v coupe. So it's going to be awhile.

 

[Gray Area]

Well I plan on selling tech stuff like flashlights, speakers, cell cases, chargers, power banks, digital cameras (lower end ones), ear buds and other cheap stuff. I figured if I sell tech accessories and that I need to have the latest tech gear. Granted I got the Note 8 though which can be used to run charge cards with square but no way in hell am I handing a stranger my Note 8 to sign and drop lol.

Lol understandable

I did the same thing. My last car I had for 14 years until it broke to the point of being super expensive to repair... that is when I finally bought my new truck.

That's so funny
my hyundai sonata is from 2003, cost me 750 quid 2 1/2 years ago and it's still perfect.
My first note 8 was 230 quid more expensive than my car

My dad just ordered a tablet off QVC or HSN, forgot the name of it but it's one of those lesser name brands. He paid about $300 but it came with the keyboard case, and lifetime 4g coverage which is really nice, but of course being an overall low end tablet it is a POS. Anyway, a few days after getting his apps on it and using the tablet it has been going REALLY slow and hangs up a lot under heavy use. I warned him he probably wouldn't like it when he got it.

Anyway, he called them and they're sending him a return box to ship the POS back to them and get his refund. He has a Galaxy tablet from summer 2013 that finally was going out on him and not holding a charge.

Well me wanting the Tab s3 for my business to use as my cash register to run square on, I asked him if he wanted my Tab s2, 8 inch version. He played around with it and likes how it's so much faster and has AMOLED compared to his previous tablets. He offered me $275 towards a tab s3 so I'm jumping all over that LOL. That's a great deal for a used tablet I've had for almost 2 years now. Granted it's in mint condition from being in a Poetic case and hardly being used the last 12 months.

 

[rdubmu]

I use the 12.9 iPad pro (2nd gen) I use it mostly as a replacement to my surface pro. battery life is much better!

I honestly like iOS better than android, but the Note 8 is an awesome phone and I use the stylist a lot.
