Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen 10.1"; 16 GB Wifi Tablet (White) SM-P580NZWAXAR

I read reviews for so many tablets before I bought this one and it's living up to the hype! It's a great little tablet for all around use. I bought it because I didn't have a computer and writing on my phone is hard. This screen is just the right size though. The sound isn't quite as loud as I thought it would be (my phone is ultra loud), but headphones work nicely and it has Bluetooth capability if you really need to pump up the speakers. I'm still getting used to the back and home buttons at the bottom, which are backwards to my phone's, but that's not a problem. The charging port is on the top, next to the headphone jack. That was a surprise! But it's a nice plug-in and isn't wobbly or cheap like some. The screen is decently bright, ultra crisp, and you have a nice amount of space around it to hold the tablet without getting your fingers on the screen itself. :) The S pen is really fun. Lots of options to play with. I definitely recommend this tablet! The only downside to the whole thing is the camera. It's definitely not the best quality so I stick to my phone's camera. It also comes preinstalled with Google and Samsung apps, which I find annoying because I don't have an account with either one, but it's easy to disable what you don't want (you can't actually uninstall them without a full root, and I'm not that technically advanced). Of the bunch, I use only maps, email (you can connect your own to the Gmail template, that's nice), and YouTube. For my purposes, it's the perfect thing! I'm actually way too distracted with the fun aspects of the tablet to sit down and write, but the little I have, it's worked like a dream. I heartily recommend this tablet to anyone!

What a fabulous and delightful product! I bought the 10.1" Samsung tablet primarily as a large format but lightweight e-reader for reading technical books (e.g. coding books in Kindle format) or financial reports (usually in PDF format) while travelling to & from the city.As a large e-reader, the device is faultless. Indeed, it's so light weight, and the screen so bright and clear, that now I often do my technical reading outdoors by the beach instead of in my office!The S pen is a sheer joy to use, as it glides so smoothly, with so little friction, it's like - er - writing on glass.:) If you are a techie, a student or a business person, the S pen is brilliant for taking notes, sketching ideas, drawing charts and diagrams, etc. You can write, draw, erase, try again, save, share .... all with a few light taps with the magical pen. It provides an enormous boost to productivity and creativity.Also, the art applications available with the S pen are such a delight that you might - like me - switch to being an artist in your spare time!A week after buying this lovely device I don't know how I ever lived without it!

My Wish List said, "iPad Pro w SPen. I'm SO GLAD that this is what I got instead! While waiting on it, I did lots of Research, I'd never heard of this Tablet. I used Youtube, since the Samsung site is very poor compared to Apple's with regards to what one can do with it. I have an iPad, but it's getting glitchy, so I was looking to upgrade, and I think I have. My only issue is that even when using Chrome, as I do on my PC, to log into my iCloud acct. and use Pages, I cannot use Pages on this Tablet. I'm not a techie, I just want things to work, and this is how I did it on my Laptop. Anyway, this is a really nice alternative to the iPad, love Split Screen, the SPen applications, and as an Artist, the ability to use really good Artist Apps is fantastic. The S Pen is nice, no lag, the screen responds where the pen touches, etc. The pen is also a good tool to use instead of a greasy finger for scrolling, etc.

Very powerful tablet! Would have given it 5 stars but not sure about aspect ratio and or dimensions of product. If you use the tablet in landscape mode, there isn't much height which can be a little bothersome when trying to view web pages or draw. I wish Samsung had just enlarged their 9.7" tablet to 10.1 or just gave the 9.7" tablet better resolution. This might not be a deal breaker for some, and I am not sure if it is, or isn't, for me yet.All that aside this is a very nice tablet. Very bright display, great S Pen integration though I would also get the Wacom Bamboo Smart Stylus for Samsung Galaxy Note (CS310UK) if you want to draw. It works and feels great on the screen and is the size of a normal pen. Just remember to remove the S Pen from it's cradle, or the Wacom pen won't work. Having an iPad Pro, this works just as well. Many apps come pre-installed, too many actually, so you will probably remove some. That also brings me to only having 16Gb of storage - quite ridiculous (and another reason for only 4 stars). So, I also purchased a 32GB micro sd card so storage should not be a problem now. Just wish there was a 32Gb version. Another downside, and it's not the tablets fault, is the apps. There are simply much better apps for the iPad. If the same apps existed for Android, many more would switch over for sure. Well that, and this tablet is about half the price of the iPad Pro 9.7!Coming from an iPad Pro like I mentioned earlier, this tablet just seems geared towards being productive and not just playing around. Not that I am not able to be productive with iPad Pro, but the S Pen integration and the Marshmallow operating system, seem to really make it seamless and enhance productivity. Just my initial thoughts. It sure would be nice if Windows 10 was like this!Lastly, for those who have the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, this seems like the predecessor to it. Should you upgrade? Yes definitely. Why? Marshmallow operating system, better screen, more battery life, and a little lighter (if that matters).
