I got the Samsung galaxy note pro, it was not cheap but I wanted it for multiple reasons. The defining reason was I started doing the best buy audits and you really need a good tablet for those. But as long as i was buying a tablet I wanted to make sure it was one i could use for everything I wanted. I wanted a tablet that didn't attach to a really small keyboard. The note pro is a 12.2" screen. Some people would find that too big for them but for me I love it. It's just barely small enough to stay portable and do everything I need it to as a tablet while also having the benefit of everything that comes with the bigger screen.
Benefit #1: the keyboard that attaches to the note pro has normal size keys like a regular keyboard. I can not begin to tell you how amazing this is for writing narratives. I HATE using digital keyboards for typing. It's fine if I need to enter one or two words or a product name or something but when you need to type up a narrative paragraph I pull out the keyboard and set the tablet on and boom it's just like a laptop
Benefit #2: the 12.2" screen is just big enough to suffice for watching netflix and other videos. This is great when I'm travelling (which is usually for a route of mystery shops)
Benefit #3: the galaxy note pro is one of the very few tablets that has split screen capability. I can have my guidelines and my report up at the same time on the same screen and refer back and forth on the same screen. And the 12.2" screen means that even the two smaller size screens are still as big as viewing each on a smaller sized tablet. Additionally the note pro can go as far as four split screens. So if you need to have your email up or pictures or something else you can have all of that up in split screen without needing to close or hide anything.
Benefit #4: the note pro has a built in stylus so when I need manager signatures I just pop it out and it just comes off way more professional then telling them to sign with their finger.
Benefit #5: you're never going to run into compatability issues with viewing Pdfss or any kind of files. The note pro is a champ I have never once had it tell me that a file was incompatible to view or anything like that.
Benefit #6: it has a faux leather back. This actually comes in handy much more then for looks. The regular galaxy note 12.2" only has the solid back which slides very easily. The faux leather stays in place so easily. I can't begin to tell you how many times the faux leather has saved my tablet from taking a doomed plunge to the ground, especially while conducting audits.
Benefit #7: If you ever take classes or anything where you need to take notes from someone writing on a board. The galaxy note pro has this amazing feature where you can take a picture of the board and it will convert it into a typed page, it actually does a really good job doing that too......except when it comes to math notes.
Anyway as you can tell I love my note pro, highly recommend even though its on the more expensive side. In my peronal opinion I find that the cheaper tablet don't last very long or are too restrictive to be able to do what you need them to efficiently. My one and only gripe with my note pro is the camera quality. I see these pictures from the samsung phones and they're amazingly great...but the note pro quality isn't even close to as good as the samsung phones and I don't get why. Don't get me wrong the quality is fine it's just not spectacular. If you don't know what I'm talking about go to your nearest cellphone store and find a working samsung S7. Take a picture of some type of writing really far away. Go to the picture and zoom in and you'll see how spectacular that camera is. If my note pro's camera was like that it would be the perfect device because that camera would make price auditing a breeze!
