This is a great tablet.

If you are wondering if the extra money is worth it to have a pen, the answer is yes.

Samsung knows how to make a good Android tablet, and this one is another in their line up that provides a great value. Not the most powerful in their line up, it is also not the most expensive one, either. I've had this tablet for a few months now, and I completely feel that tthe price vs cost breaks very hard in my favor. This is a great tablet at a great value.

I have a Galaxy Tab 4 from my cell provider, and I like that one also, but I wanted a larger screen. I use my tablet primarily for four things: reading books, taking notes during meetings, displaying speaking notes, and streaming movies from netflix or pureflix. I pondered getting the larger version of the kindle fire, but this was cheaper and it had a pen... and in the end, I'm VERY glad I purchased this tablet rather than the kindle.

The Kindle app, of course, works perfectly. Reading on this screen is quite comfortable. Taking notes, as I'll describe in a bit is HANDS DOWN the greatest asset of this tablet for me. I don't carry a paper notebook any more... which for me is a big deal. Streaming works perfectly (more on that in a bit), and I've watched many, many baseball and football games on this thing... it handles Netflix and Pureflix perfectly also.

THE PEN IS AWESOME. it is NOT simply a "stylus", but it is a pen similar in function to Microsoft's Surface. I use the android version of OneNote to take handwritten notes, and then I can view those notes - and translate them to typed text - online, once my tablet syncs my notes to the cloud. The pen works VERY well, and I've had very little issues with it. There is a small region just left of center where the RF locator seems to have problems tracking the pen, but I typically scroll the screen up or down a bit, and move on, hardly noticing it. I think there's a wifi antenna or something under the screen messing with the RF location reader or something. It works, but my handwriting looks a bit different there for some reason. The spot is about the size of a nickel, and the rest of the screen works perfectly.

The tablet is very responsive. Things happen quickly, and I don't notice problems with lagging at all. While I don't play games, my son does, and he hasn't complained about performance either. I feel its adequately powered in terms of CPU strength.

While I take notes mostly with my pen, I also bluetooth pair a keyboard, and type happily away, writing email, or writing rough drafts of papers on word. It works well for that, and has really taken the bulk of the workload away from my PC, because its so handy to have around.

I got a 64 GB SD Card, and I'm able to move the applications and data to the card for most apps that I use, so I'm not feeling constricted in terms of space. I have more than 200 apps (waze, office apps, kindle, netflix, pureflix, amazon music, accuweather, espn, mlbTV, NFL mobile... the list goes on and on), and I have 6-7 GB left on the device... more than enough to do what I want.

I stream movies and games a lot. The screen is bright and clear, and Netflix, Pureflix, mlbTV, and NFL Mobile all stream perfectly. The screen is crisp and clear, amply bright, and the color is awesome.

The speakers aren't fantastic, but they work well enough, and when I'm home I bluetooth to a nice speaker, and then the sound is awesome... but that's how it's been with every tablet I've had. Its no worse or better than any other tablet, that I can notice... don't let that be the thing that keeps you from getting it.

Like I said, I've owned this for several months now, and I literally use it every day. I am VERY glad I purchased this tablet, and I heartily recommend it, without the slightest hesitation.

READ THIS REVIEW. This will quickly set your expectations regarding this product. There are several positives and a massive, massive negative. It's probably a 4.5 star product without the one big negative, and you have to decide whether you can live with it.

UPDATED NOTE: this is for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7" with S-pen, 16 GB model. Some helpful comments have suggested that this review is appearing on other Galaxy tablet products as well.

PURPOSE: I bought this tablet mostly for entertainment (I am a huge user of Texture, Kindle, Prime Video, and Spotify). I will do some work on it, mostly e-mail and checking shared docs while remote.

* THE BIG CON: STORAGE. Samsung doesn't allow adoptable storage. Most Android phone and tablets on Marshmallow (6.0) or better will give you the option of using a memory card to add to the tablet's total storage. For example, this device's 16 GB storage would adopt the 128 GB SD card I bought for a total of 144 GB, and I can install all the apps, books, video and music I want, right? No. Samsung has disabled this important feature. I even tried a couple of hacks to work around it, but to no avail. And because Samsung ships this with about 8 GB of locked apps, you only have 8 GB to play with, and a huge chunk of disk space is taken up by Microsoft Office mobile apps, which I have little interest in using on my tablet. The workaround is to prioritize you app installation, then move whatever you can to the memory card. I had to just delete a lot of apps because I couldn't move them. Flipbook, Amazon apps, and Facebook all moved to the card. The ESPN apps? They required residence on internal memory, so they are gone. I spent two hours just moving apps to the card in my Application Manager. Samsung, you do good work, but this is an intentional crippling of a decent tablet.

* OTHER CONS: Bloatware. Just a massive, massive amount of bloatware that can't be uninstalled without rooting and romming, and I'm not taking a chance on bricking this device. And locking the Microsoft Office suite on a lower-end tablet targeted at entertainment? Really? I can't even have the choice to uninstall? Again, it's the price one pays for a Samsung product-- well-made, and I know they make a revenue stream off of pre-installed apps, but it's hateful to the customer.

* PROS: I bought this for the S-Pen technology. Note that you need to buy this version to use S-Pen; the standard A2, S2, etc. won't work with S-Pen and you'll need to buy a third party pen for those. That said, everything about the S-Pen is great. Handwriting is easy, and the tablet doesn't mistake the heel of my hand for a pen. Previously I owned a Galaxy Note 10.1 and got hooked on S-Pen; I'm still a big fan. This is also a nice screen for the money. Not quite the screen you'll get if you shell out for an iPad or even Samsung's higher-end S2, and definitely NOT an HD screen, but I traded off HD resolution for the price and I'm satisfied. Performance is also very solid for these uses-- video is smooth if I'm on a good wifi network, magazines and books open quickly, and smaller games play well. I don't play games on this tablet that need high performance, generally. The size is excellent for these purposes, and battery life seems good (I've only had this for a week as of this writing).

* IT IS WHAT IT IS: Audio is OK. Speakers are average, but audio through headphones is solid. 2 GB of RAM is adequate, but only just so. Cameras are both average, but the front camera is fine for Skype/Hangouts-- just don't expect HD quality. Samsung is almost resistant to update their take on the Android OS, so I don't expect this to ever upgrade to Nougat (7.0), but not a worry based on how I'll use this.

* BE SURE TO: buy a good quality, high capacity memory card. They're inexpensive and you won't need to worry about managing capacity (except to move apps as above). Get at least a Class 10 to make sure performance doesn't lag when you move your apps to the card. Also buy a screen protector, I always get the tempered glass.

OVERALL: a solid tablet for the money (I paid $256 plus tax). If OnePlus made a pen-enabled tablet, or if Google made a Nexus tablet that was scaled back in specs and price, I would have definitely gone that route. Since they don't (hint, hint Google/OnePlus) this is probably the pen-enabled Android tablet that best combines value, good-enough specs, and utility.
