Samsung's Galaxy TabPRO 8.4-inch tablet maintains the screen resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels

Give me this on an x86 Win 8.1 tablet and you can take my money Impressive pixel density leaching into the lower end there...

This means the current notes are no longer the high end tablets from Samsung. So now Samsung have the Note Pro, Tab Pro, Note and Tab....

This is Samsung milking consumers and justifying price increases by lunching a new PRO line instead of just updating the the current line of products.....

Starting to feel my next tablet will be the Nokia one with Windows.

Haven't had the chance to really delve into Android tablets, maybe now's my chance.

Spare a thought for the poor schmuck who dived out to buy the "best" Note, the "10.1 2014 Edition" model at Christmas and now finds that they've got "obsolete" gear because it's been replaced at the top of the heap by the 12.2.

And no, I didn't, I'm still "slumming it" with a 2012 model which is working fine for me. Although I did buy a Note 8 for one of the kids and now that's probably obsoleted.

Now if the Note 12.2 had a competitively priced keyboard dock (a la Asus Transformer) available then I'd be very interested. Occurs to me that the dual window nature of Samsung's variant of Android on the Note would really be able to make good use of the extra screen "real estate".

Not fussed for the increased resolution - strikes me as merely being specmanship v's the iPad rather than genuinely a "must have".

Still not the size of an A4 piece of paper.

If you're talking about screen size then - if memory serves me rightly (which it probably isn't) then an A4 page is slightly smaller than a 10" diagnonal. In which case the current Note 10.1 (or Note Pro 10.1) is pretty much A4.

On the other hand, if your "size of an A4 piece of paper" means thickness, then I can't see that being remotely achievable in my lifetime for a device with usable battery life etc. And where would you store the S-Pen?

I'm quite tempted by the 8.4, depends on price of course.

A4 diagonal is approx 14.4 inches
