    It's exactly what I needed for meetings and scheduling. I also have enjoyed using games on the larger screen instead of my phone.

    Super satisfied with this tablet. Had all the options in the S6 and S8 with a really good price. The screen is pretty big for a Samsung tablet. Really recommend it.

    My biggest gripe about this tablet is it takes about 3 minutes to start up since taking it out of the box. Don't know if that's typical for tablets but it seems a bit obnoxious to me. Moreover, I have to hold the power button for a significant amount of time before it will power up. From what I know, my device is brand new with no previous owners but this start up issue makes it seem like the device has been through a lot. Other than that, it works just fine when it 's up and running.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    For the price? 5 stars. Is it Ipad speed? no. Close. WAY too close to justify another $1k for .1 second of speed...

    So far so good. Have only had a few weeks but demonstrates the quality and performance I expect from Samsung products! For years, I've by far had better performance from Samsung whether tablets or phones than other suppliers.
