Being stuck as the "middle child" between the massive Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and the diminutive Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 doesn't mean it is the proverbial black sheep in Samsung's line of Tab Pro tablets.
In fact, as many of Samsung's tablets go, the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 is actually a solid piece of hardware that can withstand the pressures of being a business and consumer tablet in one piece.
If you're looking for a good tablet for both your work and play requirements, the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 is a good device to consider. And it might be even better to consider it right now, as eBay is currently offering a sweet deal for this slate for only $287.99. That amounts to a total of $112 off the original price of $399.99 that Samsung and other retailers are selling the tablet for.
The device being sold on eBay is the 16 GB, black variant only. If you want the white version or you're looking for something with larger storage, you'll have to look elsewhere, although the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 has a microSD slot for expanding storage up to 64 GB.
On the outside, the tablet looks like a bigger version of Samsung's leather-clad Galaxy S5, a design that elicited a love-it-or-hate-it reaction from many users. However, the leather cover on the tablet harks back to a vintage era of leather-bound notebooks, and while it may not be as sleek as an all-metal tablet, it still offers a premium feel that is comfortable and easy to grip.
Under the hood, you'll find a decent quad-core Exynos 5 processor, which is not the fastest but still good enough to power the multitasking capabilities Samsung built into the tablet, especially paired with the 2 GB of RAM. On the back is an 8 MP camera and a 2 MP camera for video conferencing in front. The display is a good 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, which translates to 299 ppi.
The tablet runs on Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box, but you can update it to Android 5.0 Lollipop to enjoy the latest features of Google's new platform. The Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 also supports remote PC features that let you access and edit Windows and Mac-based files.
