I had the same debate you are having. I went with the Samsung Tab Pro 12.2 and I LOVE it. I got it to replace a laptop, that is why I went with the 12.2 in. screen.

I have an iPad 4, and a Samsung Galaxy pro 8.4" tab. I love them both. Apple is introducing a new iPad in a few weeks. The sales person did not want you to buy an iPad with a new product coming out soon.

I have had my Samsung tab since February. I do love the display,and the speed of the device. Best Buy sells this Samsung tablet check it out online.

We have an 'old' iPad and iPhones....we love the apps much more than the Android ones...they are the 'same', but 'different'....That said...I have been watching a Samsung tablet at Costco that is so far above the iPad in picture quality....I think it is the Samsung Tab S ''Octa Core'' but it is only 10.5" ....I'll probably stay with Apple products, but I am tempted...costwise they're about the same

i was gonna get the apple ipad qvs has for a hot pick and was on easypay and you have until jan. to return but then i went to best buy to see if i was really getting a good deal at qvc and the sale person showed me the apple and the samsung. so now i thinking of getting a samsung from what the sales person gave me information comparing the samsung to the apple.

i think i can get a better deal in the store but the easy pay and the long return policy buying from qvc keeps leaning me towards to buy the apple on hot pick.

what do you all think is better.

I have an Apple IPAD2, an IPHONE5, IPOD mini, IPOD Touch, and so on. I love all of them. I have talked to others and some of us just love Apple products.

They interface with each other, they are easy to operate (I'm almost 70 and find them all easy to use), they don't break and I've never been worried about any of them.

I've dropped that phone so many times anything else would have broken. It survived everything.

I know people who like Samsung. I don't think a lot of people change totally over once they own an Apple product. I'm sure there are some, but most people continue to own Apple products and build on them.

It is a very individual thing. I've thought about buying some other products (i.e. Samsung, etc), but Apple always wins out. It's just me.

Mine was actually a gift from my uncle. He bought it at BestBuy and also bought me the Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard that pairs with it. He is works for Intel in Seattle so I really trust his opinion when it comes to technology. They also sell it on Amazon. http://smile.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-12-2-32GB-White/dp/B00HWMPTI2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412473698&sr=8-2&keywords=samsung+galaxy+tab+pro+12.2

Palmtree11 hello thanks for that information that link didn't work can you send it again or what is the name of the tablet you have from amazon.

Both are good tablets. It really depends what operating system you want to use, android (Samsung) or Apples iOS. All of your devices will sync easier and more seamlessly if you stay with the same operating system, especially if you go with Apple------not sure of you all know this, but Apple sued Samsung for violating patent laws, and Apple won. First in 2012, and jury awarded Apple with $1 billion. Apple won another lawsuit against Samsung in 2014, and the jury awarded Apple with $120 million--- that said, both products basically do the same thing but two different operating systems.

The Samsung Galaxy pro tab 8.4" tab is less than an iPad mini. The other tablets are close in price to an Ipads.

I love my Android Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and also love my Apple iPad gen 4. For my purposes I prefer the Android as my phone but the iPad as my tablet. I don't know much about the new iPhones and iPads that were just released out or will come out later this year but the Android cameras up until now have been much better. I use my Samsung phone as my camera and it takes great pics!

I also own an android Kindle Color HD and hate it as a tablet. I use it just as my reader and for Web browsing if my DH ""steals"" my iPad. I doubt I will ever buy a ""reader"" again and will just use iPads as readers and tablets.

I purchased the Samsung tablet that was the new thing in Fall 2013 at the same time I purchased my iPad. I set them both up and used them for two days. Hands down the iPad was faster and maintained the WiFi connection in my house MUCH better. Web browsing is my main purpose for a tablet. For me the iPad wins as a tablet.

So I think it depends on what you really want to use your tablet for. Ask a SA or maybe tell us here on the board what you want to do with the tablet and that might make a difference in the recommendations.

Bequeen, I'm sure you will enjoy it!

All, I forgot to mention that for some people that SD card slot (not available in iPads) can be a big deal. It gives you extra storage for things like documents, photos, videos right on the device (via that SD card.) But MOST people really don't need that. If you use cloud storage (Apple's and/or one or more of many other options) you probably don't need a lot of file storage like that anymore.

If you use a separate digital camera that SD card slot DOES come in handy to move your pics from the camera to the tablet. But I have friends who tell me there is a device you can buy that will do the same with your iPad, if it's a big deal for you.

If you have an iPhone your pics from the iPhone should be in the Cloud and then they are easily available to your iPad as well.

be careful about which iPad... they discontinue support on older modes, l think the iPad 2 is scheduled... you can also buy a refurbished iPad direct from apple and they will give you six payments too.... check it out...or on a 'new' one. The warranty is excellent

So many options. A new Google Nexus is also coming this month. And Lenovo is coming out with a S Tab version copying Samsung.

Thanks for the info... We have an elderly iPad and a Lenovo tablet... Lenovo gives you a lot of value for the money usually. Google I have never been a fan of...ranks right up there with my "Kindle Fire" ...NOT a good tablet. Great picture but apps are the issue.... It usually comes down to 'easy-pay' (but they give you a lot of 'items' you do not need to drive the price up) ...and Apple has their own 'easy pay' as do many places if you ask. The other issue is Android or Apple apps....there is a difference, and some are only available as an Apple app... Thanks for the info on the Lenovo!
