Got an S7 and still barely could I get used to it after more than a year(handling due to its size). Had had two 8.4 inch models afore. Now they release an even larger screen variant in the new series? It is just not as convenient to use, not a good middleground that much anymore. Come on Samy, some would just be content with an 8.4-9.4 inch model; don't you want to fill that markethole? If it is enough is enough, please think about those who are more moderate in the next lineup(and have shallower pockets too).
This is highly dependent on your usage. If you carry your tablet around a lot, you'll want it to be small and lightweight. If you use it mostly at home because you're too lazy to power on your laptop, a bigger screen and the reading comfort it brings is what you want. Fwiw, the same goes for ereaders.

$1200* I think you mean.

but yes $1200 is a little much I agree. still they sold out instantly, in fact Samsung stopped all sales on their website they sold out so fast.

so... I mean, I guess the price wasn't high enough in the end. we live in weird times my friend. best to enjoy what we have, and let the insanity ride itself out. speaking of which, I am going to go light a candle, and read one of my old books I enjoy, that is basically free. :D

One word ~ Chip shortage, okay two :D


let's just call it Chortage from now on


but in all seriousness, a lot of people have lost sight in to what true happiness is. in fact, one might argue mother Earth has provided all the entertainment we need. I have rather enjoyed playing in the snow lately. interesting the different textures of snow and how many different textures there are with different snows... a shame people don't learn to slow down and enjoy the beauty of what Mother Earth has already given us

Scummy websites are the only place available to buy here.... sadly.
