    Re: News - Samsung Galaxy NotePRO available in the UK from tomorrow

    I'm at a loss with this product - size and price makes it comparable to a "proper" laptop/ultrabook, in which case why would I want something running Android when the alternative is a lot more flexible?

    And if you're after that "large screen experience" with Android what's wrong with something like the HP Slate 21. Downsides are that the HP device is 4.2 rather than 4.4 OS, doesn't have the S-Pen or high res display (it's merely 1080p). On the other hand the HP is less than half the price, has a 21" display and also three USB ports, so you can connect drives, keyboards, mice etc. The HP even comes with SplashtopHD so you can remote control a Windows PC!

    Unless I've missed the point I don't see Samsung selling many of these.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    £649 for a tablet - it is a tablet. Not a laptop or notebook.

    £649 is alot of money to pay when the 2" smaller ones are half the price and do exactly the same - exactly the same.
