    Gives me all the functionality I need. If I had one complaint, it is that it is 10.1 inch display but it is very rectangular (9.9 in by 6.4 in), so the display real estate is limited. It would be much better if the dimensions were closer to equal. That said, I love the S Pen. My first tablet had one. I bought a new tablet 2 yrs ago that didn't have one, and I missed having it. An after-market stylus just doesn't work nearly as well. So, I went back to the tablet with an S Pen. Just makes using my tablet for sketching and such much easier since the S Pen is registered specifically for the device and the accuracy is incredible as a result.

    The s pen is great, however performance is about the same as a fire 10 HD that gou could get for $100, for for just $250 you can get an ipad 5 which overperforms it a ton. Tavlets are just not what samsung is good at.

    I like everything about this tablet except the tiny amount of storage. There is no option for more than 16 GB of storage on this model. When I got it, I thought, no problem - I'll just use a large memory card. Unfortunately, though, the vast majority of apps DO NOT WORK from a memory card. So I'm forever having to uninstall apps to put new ones on the tablet. The ability to store the S-pen is fantastic. Why Samsung came up with the ridiculous notion to add a non-integral S-pen to the new S2 tablet is beyond me. If they'd integrated the S-pen it would have been a perfect upgrade from the Tab A.

    Excellent tablet for everyday use. I bought it specifically for one game, Hearthstone, but use it for a comic book database program and a couple of other things as well. Works beautifully.

    I decided to look for a tablet because i was going to go into digital arts and was researching which tablet would best suit my needs. After searching for the correct one this tablet kept coming up and i decided to buy it. it's everything i expected and more, it runs smoothly and has a very very long battery life, the charger is a little short but it charges beautifully. i'd say this was totally worth it and would certainly recommend this!

    It is working as I expected, but it is not awesome. The main user is my son. The first week we lost control of it and I got scared because I thought I had to return to the store but, I checkedi it and erased a malicious program and now it is doing fine.

    Needed a tablet that I could jot notes on quickly and that would sync my daily schedule with my phone (wanted reminders of appointments and meetings). This was just what I needed. I can glance at my calendar and know just by the color code what my day or week looks like. Also love the fact that I can write on the screen (just like my surface tablet that I use for school) and the script doesn't look like I'm using a marker.

    I got this tablet because I've been feeling creative and wanting to draw, but I'm constantly moving places and on the go so it's hard to keep track of art supplies. This fulfilled my desire to draw, paint, etc. The apps you can get are amazing to play with and the S pen is definitely worth it if you're going to be drawing or other office work. If you just want a tablet to play games on, get the one without the S pen!
