Even after using this tablet for several weeks, I am still impressed with how bright and vivid the screen is. That, plus being such a thin and light device make this my favorite tablet.
I have both a Galaxy tab and an iPad Air. They are pretty much equivalent, but the response speed to pressing on screen buttons is slightly more sluggish. Frequently on screen buttons don't respond at all without trying many times. Trying to touch the right spot is a little less accurate. Keyboard is a little too big. Trying to register, the Samsung website said my email address was already registered but when I tried to get my password it said that the email address was invalid. OTOH, highlighting text for copy and paste is much easier.
I use this device so much my computer is collecting dust. Between the battery life, apps, and ease of use. This totally trumps my cell phone. The device itself was expensive ...I'll be paying it off for a while b utmost the surge I needed. Performance I is pretty good there are some apps that crash but other then that everything is lightening fast.
This is my first (and last) tablet. I have spent 8 hours learning how to use it. The only complaint I have is that an instruction book did not come with the tablet. I know there are thousands of things I could do with it, but I will just have to keep playing with it and learn through "osmosis." The display was beyond my expectations. I love the fact that I can turn on my TV with the tablet, although I cannot change channels with it. That really isn't a problem. I would like to be able to transfer some of my i-tunes songs to the tablet, but haven't figured out how to do this. All in all, I am very happy with my tablet.
