Why buy this instead of an ASUS ep121 slate? What better/additional features do you perceive on the Samsung?

i tablet blows the ep121 out of the water i think. I had the ep121 for less then a week and i sold it and bought the samsung. The samsung has a way better screen then the ep121. The ep121 seems not as sharp as the samsung. And the battery on the ep121 is not as good, only last me for like 2 classes while the samsung last me about 3-4 classes. The asus runs around 100 less on ebay used then the samsung, so for 100 dollars more you get a better tablet.

Assuming we're talking about the same Samsung 9 (TIV Book 9 Plus NP940X3G-K04US 13.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop; $1,799)I would go with this Asus for three reasons: 1) The Samsung's i7 4500U (1.8GHz) is significantly slower than the i7 4558U processor (2.8GHz) that this Asus carries. 2) The Samsung's Intel HD Graphics 4400 just can push the same graphics that the Asus' Intel Iris 5100. 3) The durability and style points of the Gorilla Glass 3 solid top and pseudo-ceramic housing (which is silky smooth) of this Asus scores more points in the design and "oooooooOOO! Shiny...!" categories for me than the aluminum body of the Samsung 9. You get comparable sound out of both of these machines. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Well its not an ASUS but for the price its great in my opinion. You'll miss your great screen the most but for goofing around and social media at this price it can't be beat. Wish my ASUS had a card slot!

I still have the Samsung which is going strong. I agree it would be nice to have a micro USB charging connection so one is handy at all times. I like the keyboard and just the feel of the Samsung. Screen quality is good as it is a matte screen which I like. Hope this helps at this late date or for others looking.

I love my Asus tf300 so much, I'm thinking of getting another one for my wife (she has the first generation iPad). It is so versatile and if you learn your way around Android, you can really maximize the possibilities with this amazing machine.

I own both, and personnally I prefer the samsung. It seems to be a clearer picture when running games... just my thoughts.

IMO there's no comparison. Android is incredibly limited and slow and buggy. A Surface Pro has real Windows on it, so VASTLY better software, and hardware, it has faster ahrdware, and Windows is actually faster than Android on the same hardware, despite Android being so limited. On top of that, Samsung's Android devices don't run stock android, so updates will be few and far between. I'd never choose Android over Windows, but if you must for some reason, at least get a Nexus as you'll get better support for it for longer.

Go for Samsung UN50H6350 50-Inch 1080p... Its a way better than plasma, also you will save on electricity bill. Plasma consume more electricity

I got the Samsung Series 7 slate on its first day official launch from the Microsoft store. It's awesome, way better than predicted. Also have experience with the Motion 900 slate (very tough, great battery life), and the ASUS EEE slate (good performance, poor battery life) and this Samsung slate has the best qualities of both, is faster, brighter, more memory, better stylus response, etc. My price was $850 without keyboard or dock (launch special), they said there would later be a $99 deal for the actual Samsung keyboard and the dock, but haven't seen that one yet. I got a $30 RockSoul bluetooth keyboard at Fryes, and it works great. My only disappointment with the slate is that it was originally advertised as having a slot for 3G SIMcard, haven't figured that out yet, I dont think it actually has onroad wireless capabilties, just Wi-Fi. And it's tough to find the leather accessories to carry/stand because it's an odd size compared to IPAD.

Warren,I cannot decipher any difference between the 2 models listed. I think they are one in the same. That said, if the merchant told you that it is better than its predecessor, that may indeed be true--if he is comparing it the 61/71 series or the 65 series from last year's model line. But even Samsung's website doesn't mention the S2F being any sort of an upgrade or anything like that.I've been looking at the A860 for a while. The slim depth plus its couple extra features make it a bit more attractive than the 6 or 7 series lines.

I don't see any difference. They both can do 1080P. They both requires to be powered by the adaptor the came with the tablet. Maybe you need to check out the Samsung web site directly.

Matte finish vs Glossy finish! You can have that ACER with its glossy screen, the glare is horrible! I'll take the trade off of less vivid colors!I love mine! I think the sound is appropriate for the small speaker system. I am personally happy with the display and I've used both the ASUS and ACER. That ACER looks deceptively great until you start using it and the glare drives you crazy.

I couldn't see any hardware difference. Externally they are virtually identical. I had a previous version that broke. That's why I was able to physically compare the two. However, the newer model comes with a new software that the older one will not get upgraded to. The new software does the same thing that the old software did with the exception of a new Android mirroring thing. If you have a modern smart phone, such as Samsung Galaxy S3 or newer, you can show in your TV exactly what is in your phone screen. I don't think it would be worth buying a newer version just for this feature but, if you are buying a new device, you should get the newest version to be sure to get the latest software updates.

Thanks very much for your reply. I'm sure there is a great deal of compatibility within the Samsung product line, so your reply is reassuring. For the sake of a few bucks I don't have much to loose, and everything to gain. Thanks, again! RH

Not enough info about Windows 8, atm. But at first glance, I want this because I want to be able to access normal Windows 7 programs. For Windows 8, it appears that the tablet form (ARM) needs a special version of the app and these won't be necessarily the same as their x86/x64 counterparts.So, yeah...I think I'll save up for the Samsung. It has pretty much everything I need.

You may have already decided by now, but I will give you my opinion anyway. I bought the Sony a couple of weeks and am very happy with it. The deal breaker for me was that the Samsung has a shiny, reflective screen, which is very unusual for an LCD. Since my room has many windows, I went with the Sony.

Yes, I've been happy with it overall. Now, 1.5 years later, I am considering replacing it with a pad with more memory. I use this so much, and the tf300 gets bogged down pretty easily with only 1gb. My husband's galaxy note is noticeably faster. I also had a cracked screen, it seems to be an issue (a weakness around the charge port, I think) but I did drop it, so can't complain. One thing I want to rave about is that they are still providing support and updates. It is running 4.2 and frequent firmware updates.
