Q: Can my daughter load microsoft word on this to use for college? Can you use a keyboard with this?

A: MS Word comes pre-loaded on this tablet. A separate bluetooth keyboard can be used (virtually any brand). However you will find the S Pen very useful for hand writing notes and documents.

Q: Is the S-pen stored within the new tablet A 10.1 like the Note phones had/have? I'M TOTALLY BUMMED ABOUT MY NOTE 7 RECALL, the S-pen is a feature, after learning to use it, I am unhappy to lose, along with the convience off it being stored on board.

A: Yes, the S Pen slides into a corner of the tablet.

Q: Does it have a card slot for memory expansion

A: Yes, the tablet does have a microSD card slot.

Q: I have just bought it. But how to I transfer the data from my old tablet?

A: Samsung Smart Switch

Q: How crisp is the font on this tablet for reading ebooks and web pages.. returning 9.7",the letters are so blurry, especially compared to the wonderful Tab 8"

A: Font on this tablet looks good and much better than the 9.7 Tab A. The upgraded screen resolution does definitely make a difference.

Q: Models SM-T580NZKAXAR compared to the SM-P580NZKAXAR . The later has more Ram .Is it that much faster ?

A: More RAM doesn't always mean faster, its about how many tasks it can handle at a time at a certain speed. Look for the GHz rating for speed.

Q: Is it touchscreen as well if not using the pen

A: Yes, of course. you actually don't need the pen to use any of the features of the device if you don't want to. It works great, highly recommended.

Q: Does this tablet have dual screen?

A: Yeah all of the Samsung tablets and cell phones have split screen capability so they can run two apps visible at the same time just by pressing and holding the multi window button down (which is to the left of the home) until the split screen options come up on the screen

Awesome tablet to replace laptop
I got this tablet as a (late) Christmas present. I hate my laptop that I have (keyboard sucks, and despite decent specs runs too slow for normal/light tasks). This tablet was bought to replace my laptop, and it works great. This tablet with a keyboard case replaces a laptop with no issues. It can play games with no issues (maybe nothing as serious as CoD or other console/PC games), but can play decent to good looking titles from the playstore no problem. With the pen, you don't need a mouse and is only a small adjustment to get used to using the pen instead. The writing/drawing is amazing, and that comes from someone who has horrible chicken scratch and can't hardly draw anything. It even has pretty good pressure sensitivity, and Samsung even spent the time to program in some light pencil and pen sounds that come through the speakers as you write/doodle. I use this for my notes during the day now, no longer carrying around pens/paper, this is clean and sleak for a nice professional look (have even used during recent interviews). Overall, this is a great tablet and I would highly recommend. It does come with a dismal 16 gigs of storage, which is mostly eaten up with OS and apps that can't go to SD card, so I highly recommend getting an SD card with it. I tried a SanDisk from Amazon, and it didn't work correctly in 2 of these tablets, and I ended up getting a Samsung 128gig class 10 card (80MB read and 20 write). That worked flawlessley, and with all the apps that can move stored on the card I still only have about 3-4 gigs free on the device storage. Hopefully some day Samsung/Microsoft/Google will allow their applications to move over to the SD card as well (or be removed), as those are taking up a good chunk of the storage. Overall, this is a great tablet for a wordprocessor/internet/arcade game machine. It even supports split screen on the apps (snap, I will attach a screenshot where I have 4 applications open on the screen at one time), and I use it to remote into my laptop as a media hub and the remote desktop app on this 10.1 inch screen is great! Very happy with the purchase, and with the support of Best Buy. All in all, with the keyboard case, tablet, SD card, and screenprotector, I am probably only about $400 tops (including tax) into the device, and you won't find a new 8-core laptop or PC for that price. You might be able to get one used, or try to build a low-spec desktop, but for the mobility of the tablet, 8-cores for the processor and the performance of this device, I haven't seen any laptop on the market that would compete with that price point. I got this on sale for $100 off, so no laptop is going to beat a $266 price point and be worth anything. Case-in-point, I got a 1 day return open-box Toshiba at home with 4-6 gigs of ram and a quad core processor clocked at 2.3 ghz, and bought this tablet to replace it. 2-3 years ago, that open box laptop still cost about $250-$300, and it doesn't hold a candle to this tablet, and is MUCH heavier and less mobile. Also the battery life on this tablet is 2-3 times as long as I typically get on any laptop. I allow the tablet to adjust brightness as needed, and play apps/games on it, get on the internet, and watch videos for a good portion of days on the weekend, and this tablet still typically still lasts about 2-2.5 days with that usage. Most laptops I've tried with that level of usage or less, with the screen completely dim, still only get me about 6-10 hours best, maybe upwards of 12 if you shut off the NIC, but at best I've never seen anywhere close to 1 day let alone 2.

Good overall with reasonable pricew
I'd like to give a five-star rating to this product just in case if you purchased with a promotional price around 200 bucks. Widescreen and built-in s-pen are good enough to use this as daily gadget for lecture, video, music, and writing, even drawing. S-pen is not such a good when it's compared to the one from S numbers, but still it's a good stylus. Black-screen memo function is also another awesome feature. I truly love this.

Wonderful Drawing Tablet
I was looking for a more portable digital drawing tablet than my wacom companion and I came across this. I watched a few demonstrations on youtube and liked what I saw. I quite amazed how capable this tablet is. I had a samsung note a few years ago, so I knew the s pen is a great stylus, especially with its pressure sensitivity and not requiring a battery. Some reviews complained how thin the stylus is, but that doesn't bother me at all, its a lot like holding a stick of vine charcoal. It's capable a doing 4k resolution images easy, but you only get about 27 layers maximum at that res. If you don't need layers upon layers of separated textures and colors at 4k resolutions, this is a great tablet for you, otherwise I would recommend a wacom for sure. In summary: great pen sensitivity, big enough screen size to draw without being cramped, no drawing lag(excluding some fancy texture brushes), and the battery lasts a long time. Highly recommend if you're looking for a very slim and easily portable drawing tablet.
