That has a mid range mediatek soc. They are not in the same ballpark.

Usually it's a promotion for new device only, but somehow the Open Box is eligible for the $100 GC.
You might also get $50 certificate if you are total member and spending >$500 before end of Oct 31 on top of it.

This deal can't beat the all time best deal I got about one month ago from Samsung.com

I paid only $104+tax on a 512gb S9 Ultra by trading in my S7+ which I only paid $350 few years ago.
No you didn't. That deal never existed.

For fear of cracking due to its thinness, I'm scared of carrying S9 Ultra in a very full backpack, even with protective cover.

That's a cool deal. I have a 512gb s7+ too and missed it. Can you point me to the deal you got? Will keep an eye out these holidays.

I had Tab S8 Ultra and traded in for now a Tab S9 (regular). It's a great tablet, now doubt, but I have to say I use my laptop and PC most of the time for work and the table is now basically for taking notes in meetings with the S-Pen and entertainment (youtube, surfing...) if not checking emails.

I stopped by BestBuy the other day and saw Lenovo Tab P12, interested in it and made a purchase of it. I found the Lenovo Tab P12 is great for taking notes, checking email, scheduling, entertainment...and its specs can do all of those easily without any issues but at the 1/3 price of my Samsung Tab S9. Thus, I plan to gift my Samsung Tab S9 to a family, if not, I will put it up for sale online.
This where premium tablets will run out of pricing runway. Whether be iPad or S9, 10 etc.

I don't know anyone that uses a tablet for more than what you mentioned. When you want power or immersed in work, you'll be on a PC or MAC.

I absolutely love the S9 and S8, S7 prior. I admire them, and yes the new Gen 2 Snapdragon, soon Gen 3 or M2 are a joy to use without any stutter and can keep dozens of apps open.

I wish I could do more work on them, but ultimately it leads me to the PC.

I can't bash S9, nor iPad Pro, but do 95% of us who buy them, use their power. No. At least with cell phones, we use them CONTINUOUSLY, and having powerful SoC helps make those fraction of seconds between each swipe and tap disappear so we our frustrations can be pointed to the task at hand, instead of the device.

Either future apps become exponentially more demanding, or these premium tablets will have smaller and smaller niche.

I suspect with AI, and desire to use clouds less, they will remain relevant. Though the demands of AI today renders every flagship consumer chips almost useless. We're back to square one, and that's the beauty of tech. Just when you think we've achieved zenith, the enjoyment will last as long as your last orgasm.

In other words, if you've got the cash or true need, just buy it, or save $, and earn interest while that lasts.

I traded in my S8+ tablet and got the S9 Ultra for 301.00 out the door. Samsung has some ridiculous trade-in deals when new products are released.

That said, it's a fantastic tablet, but the keyboard cover is criminally priced, and finding good cases for mine has been difficult.

I would agree with you that basically we need a good phone and PC (or laptop for those who are constantly travel). I can do all what a tablet can on my Samsung S23 Ultra and even faster and in more convenient way. After owning tablets with the latest release (S7, S8 Ultra, S9), I now realize that I don't need them. They were my consumer's hunger, not my need. I can't say for other, but most of the time it is used for surfing, watching youtube, checking emails, reading a book which I can do and do a better job on my S23 Ultra phone and if on my PC and laptop, it black and white difference.

A 13-14 inch laptop at the same price or much less will serve you in much and greater spectrum than this Samsung S9 Ultra tablet. Now I mainly use my Lenovo Tablet for taking notes and having them converted to Word for my meetings' minutes and records since it is faster and save me more time than typing on my laptop. Spending almost $1000 on a device which I don't use much does not justify my spending.

Again, if someone has a lot of money and don't know what to do with such money even generate 2% interest on it, you buy one and see it rests on your desk most of the time. For me with the extra money, I place it in my bank for divident and interest or a safe for family and personal emergy, or taking my family to restaurants.

Still very pricey.
I owned Samsung Tab S lines in the past and currently own a Samsung Tab S9.
I strongly recommend to get a newly released Lenovo Tab P12 since you don't need the best. All other important works you can do it on a laptop or PC.

Lenovo Tab 12 is also at BestBuy which is on sale now for $329 that 1/3 the cost.
Lenovo - Tab P12 with Precision Pen - ZACH0165US - Storm Grey [bestbuy.com]


At Lenovo for $269 for a 128MB storage model [lenovo.com]. Many people don't need more since you can place a microSD card on it to expand the storage. Spend the rest of you money for family at restaurant instead please.
Much smaller screen, not even the same category

Curious about the Lenovo P12 tablet, is it IPS or OLED, I found conflict information online, and even Lenovo US doesn't explicit specify that.

I wish they made a budget line with a big screen like this.. I don't really care much about the hardware, just need a big screen for video playback

The ipad pro with the keyboard and trackpad is actually very functional and not at all as limited as some might think.
