Best frof Samsung's tablet line!

I love this tablet! It is stronger processing wise than some apple Macs! It is a LIMITED Warranty but with a case and care you wouldn't need a full. 720 p. is great. The open source of the OS is a plus. Beautiful design. Great Samsung Keyboard, but Google'search is cleaner, or for a custom, use ginger keyboard. 93/100

I bought this tablet and had to have it repaired 3 times already and it still does not work. When I call the cie they do not want to exhange the tablet even if it is still on warranty. They keep sending back to repairs and do not want to bother with my problem. THIS COMPANY DOEST NOT CARE OF YOUR WARRANTY so I am stuck with a tablet that does not work and I am being ignored by Samsung. Even if you want to talk to a person RESPONSIBLE they ignore you . DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCTs Less
