    I've got an older model of the 10.1. I couldn't recommend Samsung's higher end tablets enough.

    I'd recommend the 9.7 or even the 8.4 (if they still sell that one), when I upgrade next I'm going for a slightly smaller tablet.

    The Galaxy Tab S 2 - 10.5 " 4g is near on exactly the same price as the fresh of the shelf latest Samsung Tab.

    Difference being it's 9.1 or something ???

    I want the 10.5 screen.

    ^ these Samsungs are good, but not cheap, so Terry probably could get an iPad for similar money (some are cheaper). A 32GB iPad for 15,200 baht:

    ???? iPad Air - Apple (TH)

    I think he should just get that 50" curved television and use that has his tablet.
    Feck buying a pair of glasses.He could then use miracast or something similar.

    buy the big curved television , claim the vat back , take it to perth , flog it off ( though all the miners have lost their jobs ) and with the profit he could buy himself the 10 inch ipad

    Which one do you recommend, Baldrick? There are a few on the market.

    Yep, The Ipad is cheaper.

    Don't want an Ipad, I want a Samsung 10.5. 4G.

    I'm off to MBK tomorrow to see if they can beat 18.5 K.

    Mose well just spend the money and get it, the way Australian Superannuation is headed I'll have none left soon.

    I'll have to move to Issan and live on 30k baht a month.

    Baldrick has a spare room I'll bunk in with him.

    Before you go to MBK Terry, the new model of Samsung galaxy tab is the S2 , they don't do a 10.5 inch anymore, it's 9. 7 inches now the same as the iPad.

    The 10. 5 you are looking at is last years model with last years spec, the Galaxy tab S.

    There will be a wifi only version and a 4g version of each.

    Baldrick has given you some good advice, buy the cheaper wifi only version and use your smartfones 3G as the wifi hotspot

    You should get last years model with wifi only, pretty cheap up MBK now.

    ^

    Don't want the new model because of the screen size, I will go for the 10.5 so that means I will be buying the Samsung Galaxy tab S2 10.5 4G.

    The Galaxy S1 10.5 is only 3G.

    Ain't got a smart phone and have no intention of buying one at this stage hence looks like I'll just pay the extra dollars and Pop on the 4G. 10.5.

    This Ain't my game but I'm trying to get a handle on it.

    Thanks for all your Advice.

    Am I still on the money regards I ain't got no smart Phone?

    I can get the Samsung galaxy Tab S2 10.5 4G at Fortune town for 18.5 K.

    Not worried about saving a few K.

    I buy my Electronics one and stick with them for years hence why I go top shelf straight up.

    That 4g in essence is a big smartfone. I guarantee you will put it to your ear if someone calls you as wel.l Make sure they throw you In some headphones.

    IMHO MBK is a lot more competitive on phones than Fortune. I'd be off there

    I thought Fortune Town would be better because it's mainly a local clientele where as MBK is Tourist orientated. I like it out there.

    MBK does my head in considering there are 15 million Phone places.

    I'll report back.

    Another option is Pantip but they are ramping it down at this stage.

    don't forget to factor in the cost of a 64 gig microSD card class 10

    "4G" is just a marketing term for LTE ( long term evolution ) and its only advantage over "3G" or "3.5G" is slightly lower theoretical latency

    UTMS HSUPA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-S..._Packet_Access -

    "3.5G" for the marketing drones , has theoretical speed of 42mbits down and 5.6mbits up which is faster than any content provider is realistically going to serve you data
    If you torture data for enough time , you can get it to say what you want.

    Last time we brought a television cheapest place we found was Powerbuy at the Emporium.
    Not sure about tablet prices but at least they have a website that is easy to navigate.

    Yes,

    That is the case now but technology is changing so fast that Download speeds will be lightening fast soon enough.

    I'm buying for the future.
