Enjoying Upgraded Tablet

We weren't actually shopping for a tablet, but decided to walk through BB. The promotion to trade-in (an up) from the old tablet to the newest mid-level tab from Samsung was too good to pass up. It was good enough that my mom decided she didn't want to move from a 7" to an 8", but up to the 9.7". So with the promotion, spent $200 for her to get this new tab.
Screen size is good. The case is streamlined, but tablet seemed a little heavier than I'd anticipated. Also wasn't happy they only had 2 colors. While 50% off was a nice incentive, with after-market cases for significantly less, it was a hard sell for the Samsung case in either black/granite or blue.
The inclusion of the MS Office products was the defining point and convinced me to trade in another old tablet for a 9.7" TAB A for myself.
We've only had this tablet for a short time, but so far, we've been enjoying it.
Pros: Good size, especially for older users; MS Office for productivity
Cons: A little heavy for reading with one hand, especially with Samsung case installed; color options for the accessories available are severely lacking.

This 9.7" size is a very good compromise between a cell phone and a lap top, including the price aspect. For the price it is a worthy possession.

I bought this tablet to use with a map data program that involves tracking routes and creating detailed plans. The display shows nice crisp satellite map imagery, and the processor loads the program quickly. The GPS associated with the tablet works better than my Garmin GPS! I was even getting signals inside buildings!

Purchased as a replacement for a nook HD+ 9. Although the speed is better on the Samsung, the graphics are about the same. As an e-reader, it works, but you have to zoom in a tad to bring everything into focus. This is something the nook did in its own.
Functionality is better than my nook, both had the google play store, but the Amazon prime video app wouldn't run on the nook, but it runs fine on the Samsung. The additional benefit of charging with the micro USB is a huge plus! Also, I can use a micro USB to female standard USB and I can plug in a USB storage device. I have a Logitech BT keyboard case on mine now and it complete this! I couldn't be happier!

An art student's dream for school

The Galaxy Tab A 9.7 16GB with S-Pen is a fantastic introductory tablet for college students, especially if they are pursuing an art degree. The Wacom digitizer and stylus (S-Pen) are wondrous tools for note taking and digital art. It allows for having a digital notebook and sketchbook all in one leading to better organization, financial savings in the long run, and over all convince. With the multiple user profiles that Android allows users to have they can easily keep their personal and collegiate areas separate in order to aid in studying and overall productiveness while giving for a personal location for media consumption and other personal needs. This device is also cheaper than its competitors’ introductory devices. This lower price combined with better performance for this range of device – the lower, introductory end of tablets with built in styli – makes this tablet a definite contender for college students, and a must by for art students.

The tablet works great. It was easy to use and light weight
A:AnswerThe model with the S Pen is different hardware. The pen requires the specific digitizer in this tablet to work, the regular 9.7 model will not recognize the pen. This model also has 2GB of RAM while the regular 9.7 Tab A has 1.5 GB.
A:AnswerOn the Tab A, you can add a MicroSD card - I added 64GB, and it's wonderful. I'm not sure if it increases power at all, but it absolutely increases storage!
A:AnswerYes this has larger text and a bigger easier to use keyboard. I have problems with my fat fingers, with small keyboards. This one suits me fine.
A:AnswerThe s-pen is better than a finger or other stylus. It's thinner and in the s-notes program you can change the thickness and color of the pen. It also has other features when hovering above the screen, and when you depress the button on the side a menu of quick tasks opens up. Note taking is easy in the s-notes program and writing with the s-pen is useful in other programs like calendar, tasks, etc. S-notes converts writing to text pretty easily. There are a few quirks to it but it is very intuitive. The MS apps that are pre-loaded are read only, you have to pay to upgrade to write/edit functionality. They will work with other PC/Mac MS products but there may be some inconsistencies across platforms. The 9.7 vs 7 inch screen is a personal choice but I purchased the 9.7 for going to college and I'm glad I did. It's perfect for taking notes, writing equations, and sketching.
A:AnswerE-reading, absolutely most any tablet will do for that for sure.
Watching movies is no problem for this tablet either. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a viewing experience much like you would expect from a nice Samsung HDTV This is NOT that tablet. Two reasons, the aspect ratio of this tablet is 4:3 much like an old Tube TV while all televisions made today are HD 16:9 ratio. Second the screen resolution on this tablet, tho fine for casual watching, an avid movie watcher may see this as sub par.
so, If you're looking for a good tablet for reading and productivity I would recommend this tablet. The aspect ratio is more true to paper and with Office mobile Preloaded this guy shines.
If youre looking to have a mini HDTV in your hands go for the Tab S. Its lightweight, power packed, and the display is INCREDIBLE!
