Customer Ratings & Reviews

Thought I bought a Samsung android tablet just like 2 other Samsung android devices I own but I got fooled. Unfortunately, the guys at Best Buy were not knowledgeable about this device so even though I asked several times if this device could play game apps and they assured me it could, I learned too late that it does not. I would not have bought the device, had I known it is the only Samsung Galaxy that is NOT an android and does not play game apps. I won't get fooled again.

Overall This tablet gives you the flexibility of a tablet with the functionality of a laptop - all at a great price point. Performance This product is aimed at office warriors, not content creators. The Core m3 is a perfectly fine processor for using Office, web browsing, streaming HQ video and light gaming (Civ 5 runs well). For 95% of the population, this is absolutely fine - computers have finally reached a point where performance is generally good enough. The 8 GB RAM allows you to run multiple programs seamlessly so you won't have to constantly reload websites or programs. Content consumption Screen is a highlight. Crisp, deep and sharp, you'll love it. Speakers are sufficient but if you want to crank up the volume, you'll want to invest in great external speakers or headphones. Productivity With the included keyboard, the Tabpro S allows for solid productivity on the road or, more likely, in cafes. Beware that getting used to the keyboard's short travel and bunched keys takes some time, though not overly so. For short burst writing, the keyboard, touchscreen and trackpad are quite pleasant, though if you're writing a new novel at home, you may want to opt to connect to a Bluetooth keyboard. I/O Notice that I said Bluetooth keyboard? That's not a coincidence - this computer comes with only one USB-C port which will likely be occupied by the charger at some point. So unless you like dongle life, you'll be wise to switch to online file management and Bluetooth peripherals. Battery life Everything is a function of the screen. Crank this baby up to 75% brightness on a white screen and you'll probably run out in about 4-5 hours. But the AMOLED screen means that if you run a black background and maybe dial back the brightness a tad, you can get double or near double that. A quick note on charging. Super fast with included charger but not all USB Type-C chargers and cables are the same. So make sure wattage, voltage and amps are compatible if purchasing a second charger. Competitors Surface Pro 4 and 5 cost more if you factor in cost of keyboard (though they do bundle the pen, which Samsung doesn't for this SKU). You'll also have to factor in whether the usefulness of the Surface's kickstand outweighs the reduced lappability due to increased footprint of the device. The new Samsung Galaxy Book is the spiritual successor to this and sports a better keyboard but it's also near double the price - even for the base model. The iPad Pro is not a competitor, it's a tablet not capable of running desktop applications like Windows machines or the MacBook.

In first seeing at Best Buy, I was really amazed at how beautiful it was. Gold is my second favorite color, but this type of gold will definitely catch your eye if your wanting something stylish. I only went into Best Buy looking for a tablet, but came out with this instead and I would have to say, it works to my capabilities. Two and a half years ago, I had to buy me another laptop die to my second would power on and off at random times when doing online classes. Not knowing what laptop I bought, I went cheap and anybody that knows me I am a Simmer. I love getting on my laptop and playing Sims for hours and with my laptop I got, I couldn't do it die to the processor being not being good. So, when I bought this I was only going to test it out to see if it lived up to my expectations and it went well over them. I can finally play Sims 4 with all my expansions and game packs smoothly. The transitions from multiple pages is amazing, downloading everything that I need for my classes is mot a hassle, carrying it feels like I have a regular tablet in my hands. The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the price being a little high, not having a USB 3.0 and having to buy another piece to have it, and having to buy the pen to go with it. But I would say that having the keyboard to come along with beats having the other piece and the pen. Overall it is an amazing device, and I would tell anyone this is the device to get if you love Samsung.

To begin with I have a regular Laptop and desktop, but needed a machine that was tablet first and in a pinch could transition to a laptop second (thus heavy duty not necessary). This is it. First, what a beautiful screen! This super amoled screen is better than all the other tablets I tried and many 2 in 1's. The bezels aren't to big, yet just wide enough hold it in tablet mode. It's an extremely light package and is easy to use as an tablet because it is so. I tried several 2 in 1 detachables (like this screen better) & many 2 in 1 "Yoga" style notebooks. Now although some had more processing power they were still much too unweildly for me to be used in tablet mode. It's got 8 gigs of memory on board so everything just flies along. It feels much faster than an M3. This one also has 256 gigs of storage so I'm not missing the omittance of an sd card slot. The keyboard is actually pretty decent. It just falls right it into place with a strong magnetic connection. It's got decent key travel, but its not backlit. Again I'll only use it on occasion so this is not a deal breaker for me and it's an excellent cover. Samsung Flow (unlocking the unit with your phone, notifications from the phone and such) works as advertised. I like it. Had to get used to the color as gold would not have been my first choice and I did so I'm good now. Only one usb-c port, but I can live with that. I have a usb type c port expander so I'll be okay if I need hdmi out are whatever. I get about 7- 8 hours battery life with normal usage. BTW wifi is very strong. I'm using wifi in areas where others will struggle (also same areas I'd issues with on a 2 in 1 I returned). Speakers are loud and clear. My headphone volume gets much louder than with other laptops and tablets I've owned. Not sure why, but it was a pleasant surprise. Also with little or no distortion (depending on the source). Also I purchased mine on sale for 799.99, but I'm not sure I'd pay 999.99 (original price). Perhaps 899. I'd want a faster processor (at least an m7) though this is fast enough, a backlit keyboard, windows hello and different color options for a 1000.

Full Windows 10, 8 Gig RAM, 256 Gig SSD, Excellent screen, Great Keyboard and Mousepad. Long Battery life and only 1.6 pounds with keyboard and classy case. This is a great ultraportable Don't know why it isn't rated higher. the only downside is that the tablet is held in the case with magnets and snaps into keyboard. though can be used on your lap, Major motion may dislodge the magnets. So be careful. But a great device.

If you're looking for good design (fan less), solid performance for light work (8gb and 256gb hard drive), and great portability then this is a fantastic machine to get, especially at this price! The stunning OLED is the star of the show! Battery life is decent at around 6 hours and the stand/cover is flimsy for use if you're using it in bed. Otherwise, the pros outweigh the cons and is enjoyable to use day to day.

All of the reviews I read made it sound like it is a beautiful tablet but lacking in everything else. This is not true, I am extremely happy with the performance of this tablet. I have installed Draft Sight (AutoCAD LT), Mathcad, One Note, Excel, PowerPoint, and League of Legends. All run perfectly fine (League of Legends not on high graphics) and I have had multiple open at once though not all of them at the same time. The biggest worry I had was the note taking ability and this is what most reviewers seemed to think the worst aspect of the tablet. I upgraded from a Surface 3 and yes the pen is nicer on the Surface, however I am not an Artist and this pen has everything I need (That is to palm rejection and some pressure sensitivity). I can free draw graphs and other things in online meetings which has been extremely important lately. I wasn't planning on even looking at this as a viable option until I saw the black Friday price, super glad I did as this hits everything I was looking for in a ultra portable work/play tablet/laptop. Also, don't let the one port bug you, the Samsung adapter that has hdmi out, usb c charging and usb 3.0 input or one identical to it (just cheaper)works great. Another concern reviews had online was the keyboard, it's not as nice as the Surface line, yes this is correct, however, it took me about 30 min of typing to get used to it and I haven't had an issue since. Lastly, I was worried about the ability to use it on my lap sitting on the couch or in bed in 'laptop' mode as a few of the reviews said it was not as nice as the kickstand on the Surface 3. They were 100% wrong, in the more 'relaxed' mode it is easy to see and more stable as it has a nice large base to balance on my legs instead of the kickstand. This works way better for me personally.

My older iPad 2 is still working but at times frustrate me with it's slower download speed and slow transitions from App to App, especially when performing on-line searches. I happened to go to Best Buy following dinner with my son-in-law who wanted to check out a new Samsung tablet that he was researching on-line. While there I happened to notice the Samsung Galaxy Tab-Pro 2 in 1. I was impressed by the overall screen quality and speed of the processor and SSD. Plus, it came with 8 Gbs of memory. While looking at it, one of Best Buy's Associates came up to me who I queried with quite a few questions concerning this tab. He was very helpful and asked if I was interested in purchasing this product. I honestly informed him I was just window shopping when he mentioned there happened to be a returned and open box tablet that was marked down even lower than the advertised sale price, which was already showing on sale at $200 off the regular price. While looking at this tablet it appeared the previous purchaser never even opened and used it. Everything was still sealed in the original wrapping including the power cable. It did not take long for me to make the decision to purchase this tablet, for which I am truly grateful. Besides saving hundreds of dollars, I have enjoyed the speed of operation, the sound quality of the speakers, which is much better than the normal tin like sound of other tablets. Plus, the benefit of the SSD in processing speed is so impressive and the overall high quality of AMOLED screen. This 2 in 1 tablet also came with a detachable cover and back lit keypad. I also have used it's bluetooth capabilities to sinc it to my Braven 805 speaker, (purchased as a recent B-Day gift from Best Buy) and now enjoy portable music through out my house. By the way, YES, I did use some of the savings to purchase a product warranty through Best Buy, Speak to one of there Associates and you'll understand why.

I am pretty excited to get this product and I took advantage that it was put on sale, so I bought it. The construction of the tablet, the screen quality and performance are excellent. The screen is a beauty and sound was acceptable. Nevertheless, I was extremely dissapointed when I realized that this device do not have a Micro SD card slot for extra storage. Yeah, I understand you can get the multifunction hub, but that is an extra accessory you need to carry everywhere. The keyboard is not my favorite. It is kind of clunky and sometimes a little unresponsive; depending on how fast your type. Overall I would recommend this product if you get it on sale. I don't think the regular price of $999 is worth it.

Purchased this 2 in 1 because I needed something more mobile for business and travel. The screen is vivid, and battery life is great. It works well in tablet mode, and performance is really good for basic activity's. I take this to the office everyday and it's super thin profile make it the perfect business device

I think that this 2-1 is awesome. Pros The screen is brilliant. The price is good compared to Microsoft Surface Pro or Book, and the MacBook Pro or Air. It is light weight and perfect for traveling. Most people will love the disconnecting keyboard. Cons You have to buy an USB/SD adapter because there are no USB or SD ports. Not a big deal. So, why did I return mine? First of all, our TV, speakers, tablets, and phones are all Samsung. I love their products. It came down to the keyboard. When I was setting up the laptop on the couch, I had to get up and answer the office phone. I picked up the laptop off my lap with my left hand (pinky finger and ring finger under the keyboard... middle, index, and thumb on the screen). The keyboard (great quality but flexes just a little) disconnected and the screen flip backward and fell on my lap. It happened twice in the first week. I knew I would break it sooner or later. Also, the screen positions are limited. For me, a keyboard that does not disconnect is best. Other than that, the laptop is great.

great for a productive tablet. no so great for a mobile device. I realize for some "mobile device" means cellular. I'm using the term for tablets. it does not run on Android so it is not the right choice for someone looking for a large screen mobile device. however, it does seem to run Hulu/Netflix well. for all other streaming functions I use web browsers and after a set up period they work fine. when on sale, this was a no-brainer. it was the same price as the Galaxy Tab S2, which at the time was the premium tablet. This however came with Windows 10, full desktop capability which over the years I have come to enjoy Windows 10 versions of Microsoft apps better than Android/iOS versions. The upgraded RAM really helps. I can run multiple desktops with Outlook, OneNote, Excel, and Word all at once. many complain about Windows Store being limited, and rightfully so. Even the available apps WatchTNT and WatchESPN do not play content as well as their respective web sites. However, those and Amazon seem to play fine through Chrome. There are complaints about the keyboard and stand positions and rightfully so. I can not see myself depending on this as a full time machine but as a convenient device on short trips it has done the job. The unique color is awesome, gorgeous....if that matters to you. it does for me for the novelty value. Keyboard could be better but as I mentioned it's passable for a backup or alternate device. One thing I noticed is that first few times I booted this up it was jittery and slow. I returned the first purchase. With the 2nd device I kept it longer and ran it a few extra times. I guess I just needed to build up the cache, it had the same concerns at first but runs fine now. side notes: I've tried lots of devices and I always like to run task manager apps to view performance. I was first introduced to 2-in-1s through the Surface 3 LTE. That had 2GB RAM. This version seems to always stop refreshing after a period. I have to turn the refresh rate on. That could be a setting I do not yet know about. At first, I had a hard time with screenshots. Surface 3 was easy to set up to store screenshots in OneDrive. This device requires Scrapbook app to initiate and store screenshots. Online forums posed the question with few answers. After reading and experimentation I have found Fn+Win+PrtSc to take screenshots and store them in the default pictures folder which for now, works for me. Screen will dim momentarily to alert that screenshot has successfully saved. Finally, I also agree with complaints that one USB-C port is too few. Maybe there was a sale that included the $80 port adapter, but in my opinion that should be either built-in or included in the purchase. Same for the Pen, $80-90 for a pen, not an exciting proposition. Those purchases would take this out of "value territory" for me. If there was a combo deal maybe, because I also have not seen an option for ethernet adapter. Something tells me that this would be a cool device with the ability to hard wire internet and connect other mobile devices. ADAPTER PLEASE!

I bought this in May (2017) when the price dropped significantly. I had been wanting this one for much longer but couldn't justify paying that steep price, and I was also basing that on the many, varying reviews, where so many people were finding much fault with this model. As for battery power, I use my "tablet" daily and the battery has been lasting for 6 hours. I do stream video's and movies, so that does drain the battery faster when I stream. I've been using this tablet as my main computer and it is working out greatly. I purchased the C-pen (from TigerDirect because Best Buy did not have it when I purchased my device, and though people have complained they cannot connect the C-Pen, and/or that it isn't compatible, it most certainly is (and it functions wonderfully with this tablet, especially using "Paint 3D".) I use the Samsung Multi-Port Adapter with this tablet and it works flawlessly. I also use a bluetooth mouse as well as the bluetooth C-Pen, and both are wonderful! This PC tablet connects to our 5g wi-fi and stays connected (no dropping) and I truly enjoy the features and the way this tablet works. For me, this is a great tablet, and the screen is certainly a gorgeous display, but I get why this may not be for everyone. For me, though, I enjoy everything about this tablet. I love the keyboard design and the way the tablet stands up and stays put as well as the thinness of the tablet. I like that I can remove the case and keyboard to use in tablet mode. The camera is quite decent and takes pretty nice shots - about what you would expect for this type of device. I preferred this Windows PC 2-in-1 tablet over the Android tablets because it offers more flexibility, in that Windows will be supported longer than Samsung will support a tablet. The speakers seem quite nice but I also pair this up to the Kate Spade in gold portable Bluetooth, which Best Buy sells (and I think is super nice). I am looking into getting a cable to be able to have the option to use this tablet with our Ethernet. Speed on W-Fi has been decent enough for me, overall, though I've experienced Wi-Fi lag from time-to-time. The color gold is quite nice on this model, not shiny, gaudy or brassy. The case is more of a dark camel, which I think is a nice change! As for the SPECS, well, others have already covered those in reviews, and the product description says it best. I've been able to send documents and photo's to print in our wireless printer with great success. I purchased a 4-TB portable hard drive to use with this PC tablet and am quite pleased with how well that's working out. I just have to say that when I travel with my tablet, I have a nice bag to be able to carry my cables, hard drives, and any peripherals I might want to use. (I am currently sewing a case with a drawstring and Velcro closure to keep my C-pen in.) I don't know what else to say, other than how much I enjoy using this PC tablet!

I purchased this laptop in 2017 and it's still working perfectly. i dediced to go with the Gold edition because of the expanded 8GB Ram as opposed to the 4GB of the standard version. Definitely worth the price as this device has been used heavyly throughout these two years for Music production to Photo and Video Editing using Adobe products and other projects such as writing and design work. I also bought the dongle and connect this to my large monitor in my home work station to have a larger working area. At times i use a bluetooth keyboard, but that's only if I am going to be writing for a longer period of time. For the majority of the time, the lightweight design and functionality of the 2-in-1 is just great. i am glad that went for this as opposed to a lightweight Mac product or a Microsoft Surface in the same category. Pricing was one of the determining factors in my decision, but the overall performance and functionality of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro S - Gold Edition exceeds my expectations and perfectly handles all the demanding work it put it through. Worth the buy.

My wife purchased me this as a Christmas gift to replace my Surface 3. I love this 2 in 1. It does have some cons though like the keyboard does not have a backlight for the keys. Additionally it is not an island style keyboard so it does take a little getting used to the closeness of the keys. Also, the pen that you can purchase is not like the Surface Pen, but it functions very well and you can use it with your Samsung smartphone. I have found to like this tablet, its keyboard and the pen better than my Surface 3. The 8 gigs of RAM and the 256 gig SSD make this machine scream. The battery will easily last you 9+ hours of use on a single charge and it recharges incredibly fast compared to my Surface 3. The Samsung integration with your Samsung smart phone via Samsung Flow is fast intuitive and just plain awesome. The screen is gorgeous and is the only 2 in 1 right now with a AMOLED display. There is only 1 USB C port on this device; however, with the Samsung adapter you will gain a USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port and a USB C port that allows you to charge the tablet while using the additional ports. Overall this machine can replace your laptop and tablet with ease. It's compact, lightweight design and long battery life make this 2 in 1 a perfect travel companion.

I like my new lightweight Windows 10 machine! Unofficially timed the battery life at about 8 hours, both videos{75% brightness), web surfing, word/spreadsheet, and connected via WiFi. Also with Bluetooth headphones during movies. Although not the fastest machine, I haven't really had to worry about charging it either!!! It was a toss up between this and a Surface Pro 4. I chose the TabPro S because of the battery life. It's not the quickest. But I would rather have a moderately fast machine that works all day than on something else and have to constantly plug it in. The charger is another plus. Think of it as a larger wall adapter(type used to charge your cell) - NOT a brick. People have complained about the USB C port and having to replace everything. I shopped around online and found adapters for everything I currently own. HDMI, Micro USB, RJ-45 & more... For about $30. USB C is the future, get over it! I wholeheartedly recommend the TabPro S. Lightweight, 8 hours up time, Convenient, AND the screen just pops out at you!

I was provided a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 last year by my employer. I tried to like it. I did not. It worked fine, but the form factor, the kickstand, the thickness left me wanting to use a laptop instead. I bought the Samsung Tab Pro S Gold Edition recently, on sale, and I very much prefer it over the SP3. The design is elegant (although that is not why I bought it). It is more compact, works just as well for me (with a lower powered processor than the i5 I had in the SP3), and I prefer the flat base over the kickstand. The lack of a fan is nice too. I would not have purchased the regular edition with only 4 Gig RAM and 128 Gig SSD, but the Gold Edition doubles both of those, and I am happy with this device.

Got this for my wife and she loves it for facebook and facebook games. have had this for a couple months now. I do not like doing reviews on computer devices until used some. Works great for the facebook games and email and small general use. Definitely not a surface pro or Apple product. I have a surface pro and with wife also has a Apple Ipad. She likes the key board and the battery lasts longer than the ipad. problem though is with charging. For some reason time to time it just does not charge. My wife has to unconnect and reconnect to make sure the unit is charging each time. I would say this is an average unit. It is a good alternative if you do not like the Ipad or do not want to spend the money to get a surface pro. Depends what you plan to use it for.

I am very happy with my purchase of the Samsung Galaxy Pro S . The screen image quality is awesome. The battery life is very long. The unit weight is very lite. This 2 in 1 running Windows 10 and 8 mb of ram that fits in my backpack is just perfect.

Really like the computer. Battery power is great. Very light weight. Nice that keyboard is attached and was not an extra purchase. Only negative is lack of a USB port. Really like USB-C port.
