Your final assessment is spot-on based upon my experience. I have an S9 Ultra with The high-end Samsung keyboard case (the $350 USD case) and a Surface Pro 8 with the high-end Microsoft Keyboard case (Signature). For the past three weeks I have used the S9 Ultra exclusively, mostly in DEX. It is an amazing tablet, and DEX is outstanding (kudos to Samsung for developing it, good for them). In my opinion DEX is close to providing a solid platform for productivity, but is not quite there yet. Most apps seem reliable in DEX, but my most critical app, Evernote, crashes constantly (every couple of minutes): it is rock-solid in tablet mode, but when in tablet mode the screen keyboard keeps popplng up, despite my attempts to tweak settings to prevent it. Anyway, my point is that, if you depend upon the device for productivity, DEX will get you close but you will spend some time tweaking settings, and ultimately probably just accept a few bugs/crashes, strange behavior. This is aggravated by a common problem with the S9 Ultra and the high-end case: constant keyboard disconnects (every couple of minutes). It disconnects for a split second, the kb goes dark, and the screen keyboard pops-up, then it returns to normal. Many others have complained of this problem. $1200 tablet and a $350 keyboard case and still bugs like this. It's cazy. You have none of that on the SP8: it is a rock-solid productivity device.

My overall thoughts: The S9 Ultrs is an incredible Tablet and, thanks to DEX, it is a decent, although buggy and imperfect, productivity device. The SP is a good laptop, and a rock-solid productivity device, but I don't think it's worth a crap as a tablet. My hope is that Samsung continues to refine DEX and fixes the keyboard disconnect issue: if they do that I will drop MS like a hot potato and never look back.

I sold my macbook pro m1 13 inch screen and bought my Samsung Galaxy tab s9 ultra. Sure, I have two other laptops, an old Mac book air from 2014 and an old hp omen gaming. But I use my tablet for everything. Business, social media, presentations, watching movies.... if you are invested in Android devices... like phone and TV... this is a game changer. It is powerful enough to edit 4k video... including 8k insta360 footage.

For 1 second I thought this was a test- you are just comparing the spec sheet which most buyers already did. What is it with these p

Your video editing and presentation style is so polished, plus your information is up-to-date and accurate. This channel deserves way more subscribers. Glad I found it!

Your final assessment isn't bad, but it assumes that most of us need the functionality of a laptop or desktop. I'd say almost no one actually needs a traditional computer on the day to day and most of us have one provided by work if we really do need it. Unless you're freelancing or own your own business, chances are low that you really can't do everything on a tablet. I, for one, don't think I've picked up my laptop in a couple of years other than to back up my photos off my phone or Google Drive and that is purely because it is faster to be able to hook my external and my phone up at the same time.

Wow this is probably the best comparison/unbiased/review out here on yt!! Keep up the great work my friend

I probably should have checked this out before buying a Tab S8 Ultra, but it occurred to me about a week later that I'd been thinking about getting a Surface a year ago back and that it probably would've cost about the same to get one of those.

Well, I DO have a desktop PC already and anything heavy-duty I do at my desk, while a laptop form factor would only be used for relatively light tasks, so I think I made the right choice - it pairs better with my phone (also Samsung), it has a longer battery life (this is important to me), and for lightweight tasks I think that Android is more comfortable to use than Windows. Finally, I think Android is an OS that I more reliably don't get frustrated at - I love many features Windows has, but it will stutter over the most random things and have absolutely nonsense bugs I can't seem to figure out all the time, and for some reason it takes like 10 seconds to wake up from sleep despite the fact that I have a pretty high-tier build that I spent weeks studying to make sure I didn't have any major part mismatches or bottlenecks.

But if I didn't have a desktop PC, and I was looking to get a "bang for buck" setup that could do everything I needed good enough? Surface is a good buy. I would rather have a desktop PC that covers my basics and also gaming, and a tablet that doubles as both an extra display and an almost-laptop, but if I could only have one device designed for keyboard use it'd be a Surface.

There's only one option, and that's the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra

[nickthorley]

I think you are spot on that the tab S9 is a companion device but it should be at a companion price IE 300 - 400 less than the surface. I think the surface is much better when you compare functionality with price

Best video on this subject that I've you have a great voice for radio!

[vukasika]

1:48 The image is of the cameras on a S8, not the S9. You got lazy with your B reel; otherwise, a solid video & good comparison. 😎

The Problem is that in real world use the 450 nits max brightness of the surface is just not enough to work in even a amount of sunlight. ...

[Burri.]

[segaboy]

[faethe]

If you use Dex with the surface pro, all of a sudden it can also do everything the tab s9 does.

[xplics]
