to buy or not to buy?

[Kyle535]

I have been searching for my dream tablet for years with no such luck. The Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition fits my dreams relatively close. I love the size, ram, the WiFi version processor isn't great, love the apps Samsung includes, the display, almost everything! But I paid for an expensive stylus a year and a half ago so I don't feel the need for the spen. But it would be nice for the new features and functionality that the spen now offers for notes and then I could use my other stylus for drawing. Now I hear Samsung is going to introduce "pro" tablets in february? I'm the type of person that uses sketchbook pro for a lot of drawing, while using my tablet for major gaming, and for school notes, research, etc. So should I buy the note 10.1 2014 or wait for the pro tablets? Also does anyone have an estimate on the price for the pro tablets? Specifically the note pro? Thanks in advance for any replies

Personally, I just love the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. My previous tablets were the Tab 2 and the iPad 2, and I think it rocks them. It's an excellent tablet, and the extra stylus features are really neat.
Anyways, about the Note Pro. If I were you I would definitely wait for CES and see what the new line-up would be, since it would be plain stupid to buy a tablet 4 days before a new one is announced...
For the Note Pro price estimate, you could look back into this after the Note Pro is announced, and my bet is 599$.
But anyways, I would definitely recommend to wait until CES is over.
Hope you enjoy whichever tablet you choose!

Thanks so much for your reply!! I'm glad your enjoying your tablet! I recently got the s4 so as you can imagine I want to stick with Samsung. I personally think that they are the top brand right now for everything except software, but they are getting better. And yeah that is probably a good idea to wait in until the CES to decide. I hope the note pro is close to what your expect because it would be a terrible thing for them to charge $799+. Do you know exactly when the CES is? Thanks again!!!

Yeah I agree. I guess 599$ is optimistic, 699$ is more realistic.

Note Pro 12.2 is same as 10.1, just a bigger size of 10.1. Which one to choose depends what size of screens do u want to have? Carrying around 12.2" tab is not that ideal compare a smaller and lightweighter 10.1 tablet, 10.1 = 540g vs 12.2 = around 770 g. Of course it will be more pricy then 10.1.

Thanks for all the great info guys.
I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer.
I had my Galaxy Tab stolen along with my Macbook Air and need to replace.
This time I would like to get a fully spec'd Mac Mini and get the latest and greatest Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or 12.1.
Anyone know how to get Samsung tablet to be used as a monitor for Mac Mini? I want to work off Tablet while connected to Mac Mini for
my video and audio work and then use the tablet later for web and other android stuff.
I would prefer a wired connection since Mac Mini has all kinds of ports that are fast.
Anyone know of a work around for this kind of setup?
I need to have both because of the heavy work I do in video and audio on Mac and the the heavy
research I do online with tablet. The pen would be a great help in both systems. I've seen on youtube that
tablets touch screen can be used on Macbooks.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

I don't know the answer, but since I see no one answered you I would recommend you create a new thread for your question, that way it might get answered.

I'm so glad I waited! I'm sold on the note pro 12.2! Now I wait to see the price...I'm planning on getting the wifi 64 GB model so hopefully it isn't too pricy

Good you are cool with the "waiting" bit.. Because I think you are in for some more "waiting".. First, the 12.2 Pro hasn't even released and official release date. Second, the higher memory versions always come out several months later.. With that said, I think you looking at a good 3 months, maybe a little longer if you hold out for the 64gb version..Just my two cents..

and it will be pricey like the surface 2 pro

for sure... Sammie is getting bolder with their premium pricing

You can buy it now and have some satisfaction, or wait forever and just be frustrated..... No matter how long you wait, technology will update in 12-18 months and you will never attain the tablet if you are waiting on the technology....

Yeah I figured it would be a while but not to be naive but I think it will last me awhile

I wouldnt bother to wait for any 64GB release, Samsung always announced 16/32/64GB and takes forever to release 64GB version. Except in South Korea/ASIA and around the world would wait very long time before (if lucky) to see any 64GB version.
