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.

Re: samsung vs apple ipad tablets

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

Re: samsung vs apple ipad tablets

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=14124736...

Re: samsung vs apple ipad tablets

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.
