One big disadvantage:
No iOS.
It can be as light as possible, better resolution...etc. I don't care.
No iOS. No Galaxy Tab for me.
Exactly, what a pity it runs that awful OS called Android.
Got a tip for us?

Curious because I don't know:
Are there Samsung rumor sites that post Apple headlines several times a day?
I think Apple fansites include Samsung news because there's rarely much news from Apple itself.
You forgot to add IMO to your quote.
Because everything you wrote is exactly that, an opinion. None of it is fact. Best product is subjective. Best for whom? You? Apple might be the best to you. Me, your neighbor, the guy at cube farm playing Candy Crush on his bathroom break? Maybe, maybe not. Apple isn't making commercials like Samsung because they are the established leader in their category. It's that simple. Everyone aims for the top dog. You don't avoid it. You face it head on and say I am a better alternative. Again, simple. Besides, it's just one component of their advertising. They have other ads that never mention Apple at all. Please, for the love of Mike, please don't ask for proof. You know it's out there.
When I tried it it was a little choppy. But it's easily Samsung most impressive tablet to date. Great thin build quality too.
Sorry Bud, the BMW is pretty down market i.e. lower end of the market when compared with their peers.
@MacRumors, if you insist on posting these competitor ads as 'stories', would you at least put them under a new tab? You could maybe call it 'Hate Blog'.
And the clicks. Let's not forget the clicks. Few things on Apple-centric sites get more clicks than a Samsung mention. I honestly think it's intentional. I was surprised to see Samsung's Galaxy Gear S (nice looking) announcement not posted yet. Not surprised to see no mention of LG's G Watch R (very nice looking). The day is not over yet so my surprise may be premature.
By the way, to be clear, there are many alternative operating systems to Windows. There is only one OS X.
To be clear, Apple went after Windows so I have no idea what your point is now

Not accurate at all.
This reminds me of the coke vs pepsi taste test commercials done back in the 80s.
Its just marketing of course Samsung is going to edit out those folks who chose the Apple
And most likely do that editing on a MacPro
To be completely fair, they should have either used both black bezel or both white bezel options. The glare coming off the black bezel on the iPad will be distracting as compared to the white bezel on the Samsung. Especially outside. Which will have an affect on people's opinions.
Clearly those people are hired actors - they all prefer the Samsung!
That's 'cause they pay them with Samsung products.
... us REAL actors prefer
Apple products. 
Funny to me
It's funny to me, that everyone is comparing themselves to Apple in their ads. So clearly, they are trying to make themselves look better than the best.
As a developer of both iOS, Windows 8, and Android apps, I can state from a voice of experience, and knowledge of all three platforms.
- Multitasking is software, not hardware. Rumor has it that iOS8 will soon add that, so mute point stating that as a benefit of Android. Besides, if you want to speak on multitasking, the MS Surface 3 Pro puts all Android tablets to shame in the area of multitasking.
- Speaking of quality, Apple products the equivalent to ultra premium autos. Others are plastics, produced cheaply to sell at a lower price point, with lesser quality of parts. Essentially, unless you get into higher end products, they are the Walmart of tablets, much like Dell is to PCs.
- The war of devices makes me laugh. If you are a power user/developer, you need all three. Period. I use my Surface to program Windows specific (.NET, Window apps, etc.). I use my Android tablet for testing only when developing Android apps. I use my Mac, and iOS devices for everything else, because after using for many many years.. they are clearly superior in quality, design, style (for my taste). I develop iOS and Windows apps for money, and add in Android apps simply to not leave anyone out. Android is growing, and is on my radar to develop more for, however I know the internals of the OS, and the quality behind iOS.. and it's the clear winner despite ads such as the Wall Huggers, etc. taking cheap shots at the only thing they can.
If the worst thing you can find about the iOS devices is that you have to charge your battery a few hours less... I think Apple is safe to just grin. Besides.. it doesn't take a genius to figure out.. your battery lasts longer because you don't use it as much. Why? Because the apps do not do enough for you, there are not enough apps, etc. Just my opinion there, but does sorta make me smile when the ad brags about battery life. If I didn't/couldn't use my devices as much as the other guy because the apps were not as robust, didn't do as much, and thus did not keep me glued to it more... meh.. I'd think twice about that. Besides, anyone who knows anything about tech knows that the battery life is like processor speed for PCs.. one year one brand ups the limit, the next year it's the other guy.
Brag on.. it is funny. For me it is like a tool chest... I have many tools in there, and I choose the best tool for the job. And despite all the criticism I'll get from iOS bashers... truth is the Apple products (Mac and iOS) simply do more, do it better, are built better, and simply look incredible. That's my 2 cents worth..

Do you actually know which apps can be used in the multi window mode or are you just speculating?
Hate being remind of the limitations in your products do you? You should brace yourself for more sickness because I highly doubt Samsung or any other competitor cares how you feel.
Think about it... This. Is. The. samedung rumor site.
When it comes to these gadgets, you'll find the next iteration of samedung products in what apple did, does, and is rumored to be doing (think samedung ridiculous watches).
iOS 8 isn't here, and a Surface Pro 3 isn't an iPad and when iOS 8 does arrive and have multi-tasking, it's just another feature Apple is copying. They've fallen behind the curve, this is a fact you'll just need to get comfortable with.
