What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the 11” M2 iPad Pro and the Tab S8+ was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

So sick of all these youtube influencers pushing paperlike. If the product was any good, it would not need all these tech reviewers pushing it. The matte protector does not feel like paper, will definitely reduce image quality and you will quickly see all your writings etched in the protector which will not heal. Amazon is full of these matte protectors and a fraction of the price. I guess free product must come with glowing reviews.

having experience with the M1 model pro, and the Tab S 8 series in general, Samsung has def brought the tablet back to android. most importantly have their own UI and integrations. i will still choose iPad out of just needs and non bias reasons, how can you not love what Samsung is doing?

I took my brand new Samsung 3 to college and it was excellent (Yup, that is old). The Samsung notes were excellent and I still use my Samsung 3 when I'm taking notes in meetings. Can you do a multi-tablet comparison comparing Samsung Notes and other brands (Apple, Amazon Fire, Microsoft Surface) regarding taking notes? Thank you for all of your videos.

So i really struggled for a while whether or not i should buy the tab s8+ in my country its 790 euros ( which are a lot for the average income) . I also bought an wireless keyboard and mouse (which i also use at my computer) . I have really dived into this and if your main usage of the tablet is entertainment your experience is gonna be a 10/10 seriously ( btw go into the settings and enable dobly atmos it makes the speakers so much better + you should definitely have the task bar activated ) . Productivity wise ( I am in uni so projects and writing thesis ) i use a keyboard and the mouse + dex . It can do the work of a laptop to some extent but its veryyyy limited . This tablet is under no circumstances a laptop/computer replacement. The android ecosystem is very neglected in that aspect and all of the Microsoft office apps have like 1/5 of the futures. If you are certain that the software that you use for your daily tasks is working on android identically then hardware wise i don't think you will have a problem . /// tldr// /if you wanna have fun tabs8+ is exceptional if you wanna use it for work it needs a closer inspection

This is the content I've been looking for!! I will never get a Mac for a PC, but I love Apple for my mobile devices. So finding software or upgrading hardware between the two is always a research nightmare for me (I hate research...). I'm a new teacher for Carpentry so my tech needs are super specific along with my personal tech desires and having both. This unbiased review and sectioned "I would choose X if I was doing Y." Perfect!

This content was very helpful! Thank you, keep up the good work 😊

Thanks for the objective comparison. I live in the Apple ecosystem these days and my tablet is the iPad Mini 6. After watching this video, if I was in the market for a larger tablet I would be inclined to lean toward the Tab 8. It offers some very nice features for the money.

I have the M2 11'' which I bought very recently. Your vids helped me out a lot!! Thanks man!

Outstanding video, mate! I've had an M1 12.9" iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard for almost 2 years, but it's been demoted to content consumption since I bought an M2 Air a few months ago. I thought about selling my iPad (already sold the MK) and getting a refurb iPad Air, but still love the Pro's big, bright, beautiful, miniLED screen for reading e-books and streaming video. I'd give the S8 Ultra a serious look if I were in the market for a tablet now.

[Trpyla]

I'm curious about something. What would be the best track pad you'd suggest for Samsung Galaxy Tab? Would the apple magic trackpad be compatible?
I saw some trackpads from Logitech or Brydge, but I'm not really sure they'd work with Android, hence the curiosity for the Apple Trackpad.

Keep up with the good work

Which one to choose between s8 plus and ipad pro 11 for pdf annotation and note taking?

[danielperez]

Great video as always!
Can you please do a comparison between the M2 12.9 vs the Tab s8 plus/ultra focusing on the display quality ?

[JaelLo-uuzm]

if samsung gets all the love and effort from app/game developers apple in general wont have advantage on optimization. samsung phones/tablets could work closely like a pc on the other hand ipads are still stucked on tablet area.

[wakoko]

I'm sorry, but, what's the green thingy you used to show the speakers for both?

[mikaelabelardo]

im really torn between getting the samsung tab s8+ or ipad pro 11 m2. i don't know what's more practical for an artist since my main concern would be color accuracy, size, and how it can handle certain apps/what graphic design/digital art apps can it offer?

[m.giridharthanioruvan]

@TechGearTalk, should I choose the iPad Pro or the Samsung S8 Plus? Additionally, do you have any information on when Apple will announce their Back to School offer? Samsung currently has a 20% discount, and this has made my decision even more difficult. Furthermore, I'm also wondering if I should opt for the cellular version. Could you please provide some guidance? And I also like to choose future proof option. ❤ Thanks for your amazing support Love from India

[John_Otieno]

Great review as always. Last year a bought the s8 thanks to you. I haven't used my laptop ever since.

[VeryLarry]

Great detail in this vs review! Awesome content!

I am in a bit of a situation at the moment. A while back I have been trying to learn python programming and I thought it be a good idea to buy a Ipad pro 11 inch 3rd gen while having the samsung tablet still. Now I am finding myself not really using the Ipad for that for programming and the samsung tablet is just collecting does in my draw. I am on the andriod/windoes eco system makes sense to go back to the samsung tablet right ?
