    I am totally pleased with my purchased of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S. As far as specs & capability, I have not ran into a single issue - including streaming video & playing demanding games. This tablet has essentially replaced my laptop. I am truly impressed by Samsung with this tablet, from the functionality to the capabilities to how smoothly it runs everything I wish to do. Great product all around - the only thing I could ask is a longer-lasting battery (I admit it is mainly when I am playing games or videos that I notice the battery draining quickly) but that is literally the only thing I could think of to improve this tablet.

    Love the tablet. Hate I can not remove bloat ware on a 16gb. tablet..at&t as well as samung. Ie. Who needs 4 email programs? The list goes on. That cripples it even with external memory it is not the same as internal.

    At first, I bought the bigger of this version, the10.5 inch for my daughter. After some tries with it, I decided to get this smaller version for myself, plus I got it when it went on sale. The bonus part is, it came with a line (with sim card capability), not necessarily required to get a line. You can choose it as prepaid line, you can load it just when you like or need it. That's a great advantage for me, knowing that I am not tied to a contract.

    The tablet was great in size and power the only complaint was that it's battery life wasn't holding up the same after 6 months but I may have been streaming too much, the tablet was able to do everything I needed to and had features I didn't even need but were still cool

    I have always been an iPad user. I thought I'll give this a try but I just wasnt impressed. The touchwiz lags too much. Also, the lack of Google software updates is a real deal breaker for me.

    Loved the tablet. Amazing screen! But requested AT&T to unlock it so I can take it out of the country when I travel and they said Samsung does not support this product any longer and will not provide a code to unlock it. Thankful to Best Buy return policy. I return the product with all it's packaging intact and got a full refund. If you just want to use it in the US or wifi only, it's an excellent product. I would recommend it.

    We purchased this tablet for my son to use for school and for his games. The tablet is quick between applications and runs the games well. Would buy again.
