as long as you aren't trying to play AAA games, the Go2 will handle email, web browser, YouTube videos, streaming music, office documents/spreadsheets.... all work just fine on any model of the Go2. if you have the "entry model" with Pentirum/64GB_drive then you will probably want to stick with the "Windows 10S" that is provided to keep your system lean and mean. People start moaning and groaning about the "entry model" Go2 when the dump the Windows 10S and install Chroms browser (very hungry for memory) and load up a bunch of games and stuff that the Go2 just won't handle very well. Stick with the basics and use the Edge browser (which is being improved and updated just about every week) and any model of the Go2 will be fine. The Galaxy Tab6 is android-based, and that's a different ball game. it will run faster and play a bunch of games and stuff, but it is NOT a windows 10 machine... if you want a Windows 10 machine to handle basic tasks and NO GAMING other then older games or online games (NOT Fortnite, OK?) than Go2 is a good solution - understanding that you are paying more for a teeny-tiny Windows machine. If the small size is not that big of a deal for you and you can stand a larger laptop, then buy a larger laptop and for the same money you can get better performance from a 'LARGER model laptop. You want a teeny-tiny laptop, the Go2 is the smallest you can get. if you want a tablet with Android operating system like your phone has, then the Tab is a nice rig and you should be happy with that. Get what you need, but understand what you are buying before you pull our your wallet. Go online and check out the YouTube videos that COMPARE these two machines and you will see what each one can, and cannot, do. Hope this helps. Stay Safe!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Both will do. SG2 has a better keyboard and pen. Also it is a computer so more versatile. Kickstand makes it easier to hold the SG2. Battery on both is good but Tab s6 will last longer. File management system on Tab s6 is confusing, not intuitive. Finally Tab's screen is brighter but you can turn the screen brightness on the SG2 to zero (save battery) and still read documents and watch videos with no problem. I sold my Tab s6 to get the SG2...
