It is still compact compared with a laptop, but the larger screen makes working with multiple windows a bit easier. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianĪt 13in on the diagonal, the screen is bigger than the 12.3in of its predecessors.

Of course if this turns out not to be the case costco will always have the surface pro to go back to.The kickstand at the back is just as good as previous Surface devices, able to hold the tablet steady at a large range of angles. Plus with its 8gen1 processor, oled display, and 11,200mah battery I expect battery life to be far better than what I have been getting on the surface. I will most likely be taking the surface pro back, as for the price the tab s8 should be more than enough. What I didnt expect is with the student discount as well as launch day/pre order discounts I can get the Galaxy Tab 8 ultra for around 700 bucks. Update: Well, samsung released their new phone lineup yesterday and I was planning on trading in my Note 20 Ultra (burn in issues) to get the S22 Ultra, which I did. Ideally I'd get the i5 with 16gb ram but they dont carry that one and the bundle deals are really good. I run chrome and can use a decent amount of tabs, and things like matlab. I went online and saw they have the i7 16gb with 256gb SSD option for $1549 and am wondering if the extra power and (more importantly) RAM is worth is as an engineering major? I will be using this laptop for anything they require as well as note taking. In store thats the only option, and I love the device. I recently picked up a Surface Pro 8 Bundle from costco for 1199, the i5/8gb with 256gb SSD.
