Lovely tab hindered by terrible lag when using magazine ux or multi window. Massive dissapponent considering it's same as my note 3 spec wise it's nowhere near as smooth.

Fantastic; light and quick; Difficult to use to inexperience

Extremely poor build quality from Samsung with this. I am returning it straightaway. It makes an annoying creaking sound near the bottom left hand side of the screen...like its going to break or come apart any second.

It's pretty clear what tablet Samsung is challenging with the new Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. This $399 slate is going right after the iPad mini with Retina Display, offering a sharper and bigger screen in a design that's just as thin and light.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is currently the smallest of the Tab Pro tablets. It's an Android alternative to the iPad mini with Retina display. At £330 it costs a fair bit more than some of its Android rivals like the LG G Pad 8.3 and Nexus 7 , but is a quality tablet with some higher-end...

Super-sharp screen; Powerful processor; Great build quality

More expensive than key rivals; Oversaturated screen; Performance issues; software bugs

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Droid Xyboard 8.2 were seen as tweeners in their day, but the 8-inch form factor has since picked up mainstream popularity thanks to devices like the iPad mini .

Thin and light; Sharp display; Fast performance.

Expensive; Needs better palm rejection

The premium specs and high-end feel of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 make it well worth the high price.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 packs a sharp pixel-dense screen; zippy performance; and oodles of software features inside a comfortable and lightweight slate

The $399.99 starting price is expensive; It's too easy to block the speakers and trigger the capacitive buttons unintentionally when holding the tablet in landscape orientation.

In a world of cheapo-tabs a £350 slate has to go some way to convince gadgeteers that it's worth the extra spend. On paper the TabPro is just about there - it's got an amazingly sharp screen, is stuffed full of classy components, genuinely useful apps and wins over media hoarders with its microSD...

That screen; Software treats to gorge on; MicroSD expansion to 64GB

Performance niggles; Only so-so battery life; No S Pen

Samsung unleashes a fantastic all-round Android tablet but it's expensive.

Big screen in portable chassis; Portable; Micro SD support; Secure Android

Middling battery life; Expensive

I purchased this tablet for my wife. It is her second Samsung tablet. She gave hers to one of her sisters. I would not purchase a tablet with two speakers placed on the same side. I am astonished that many do not mention this. This is a deal breaker for me.

The battery life is just terrible at about 50% of my wife's Ipad Mini. I have not used a Samsung Tab before and they need to have a user manual on-line that covers IN DETAIL is use and functions.
