Samsung Galaxy NotePRO

“In conclusion, if you are looking for a tablet that has a big screen for watching videos or can multi-task effortlessly, and you want LTE to come with it, go ahead and pounce on the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 LTE: Like its sister model, it deserves a Very Good.”

“Buyers can expect quite a lot in a tablet for over 700 Euros (~$973). For example, good connectivity, easy use, and extensive software or sensible, optional accessories. Samsung is beyond reproach in these points, and even adds an accessory bundle with a value of just under 180 Euros (~$250) for the so-called Launch Edition.Besides that, the Wi-Fi module is state-of-the-art, the GPS module functions reasonably, the infrared sensor is handy. Samsung's TouchWiz interface convinces with a multitude of options, and a very classy surface in terms of software. Its functionality makes using the virtual keyboard's extensive settings, and the digitizer pen, pleasant experiences.The screen that is not quite as brilliant as in some other devices from Samsung and the too high power consumption are minor points of complaint. However, this can probably be ignored when feasible battery runtimes are achieved, the temperatures remain low, and both the application and gaming performance are first-rate. The main menu's choppy use that is the result of the lower clocked processor cores, which are responsible for low load, are more severe in such an expensive device.All in all, Samsung launches a very big tablet on the market with the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 that still can be held comfortably in one hand and features high-quality looks that convince at first glance. Hardly a flaw is found even when looking closer. Buyers with the necessary cash get a perfect-to-operate, stylish tablet for professional use.”

“Yes, the Note Pro 12.2 is big and expensive. It currently costs about $200 more than the smaller, though otherwise very similar Note 10.1 2014 edition. Are the couple of inches worth paying that much for? You certainly don’t have to if you don’t want to. Samsung offers the Note line in 5.7, 8.0, 10.1, and 12.2-inch screen sizes. And there’s the Galaxy Tab line, also in several sizes, if you don’t need the S Pen. So there’s little reason knock the Note Pro 12.2 too much for its large size or expansive feature set.But for those who want to take handwritten notes comfortably, open multiple apps on the screen at the same time, and are willing to pay extra for those abilities, the Note Pro 12.2 is a good choice, though it won’t always run smoothly.This is far the best showcase we’ve seen yet for Samsung’s S Pen features, making some that seemed silly on the Note 3’s screen, like Multi Window Mode, seem like features use fairly regularly.We do not recommend this tablet for those who travel a lot and like to use their tablet on the go. It’s too big and unwieldy, and its screen size makes it not the best for games, either. For those tasks, and for reading in bed, we’d say just get a smaller tablet like the Nexus 7 or Dell’s Venue 8. After all, if you can afford to spend $700 on a professional tablet, you can probably spare a couple hundred extra for a device that’s better suited to entertainment.”

“The Galaxy Note Pro is a solid tablet, even if it doesn’t quite live up to its PC workhorse aspirations.. It manages to retain a high level of portability despite its large 12.2-inch screen, and its performance, while not particularly remarkable, is still good by today’s standards. Plus, it has the might of the Android ecosystem behind it — something you can’t quite say for Windows 8 tablets and their app offerings. For someone looking to get things done on their slate, the Note Pro is a great option.”
