Anyone have a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4? I've always had iPhones as my smartphone, but my tablets have always been Android. Starting off years ago with a horrible knock off tablet called a gpad (it was like $100 shipped from China). Fast forward to 2013, I got the Nexus 7 (2013). Loved that tablet, but grew to dislike the screen size, it was a little cramped, but software wise and performance wise, I was blown away.
I sold my Nexus 7 to a co-worker for $180 earlier this week and was on the search for something better suited for me...
After going to Best Buy over the weekend, I had my mind set on the LG G Pad 10.1 ($250), but after reading reviews, and hearing people say that it's laggy and not as good as the G pad 8.3, I started looking into the 8.3 (also $250).
Then I stumbled across the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 in the store and I loved it. It was lightning fast, and seemed packed with goodies. And the 8.4" screen seemed like the sweet spot. The price was I believe, $279.99 at Best Buy. Not horrible considering they were $399.99 at it's release.
Went on eBay just to see what I could find, and a company sells refurbished (Samsung refurbished) Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 for $220.00 with free shipping. That's $85 off the retail price (if you figure it tax), I immediately clicked buy it now. Also bought a clear tpu case and screen protectors... should get the tablet by mid week next week.
Anyone have the Tab Pro 8.4? Likes/dislikes? Is it a pretty worthy tablet? I dont mind that its refurbished. I've been reading reviews and hearing that it gives the iPad mini retina a run for it's money.
Please if anyone has it, feel free to chime in with your experience with it.
