Seems to be a decent price for this tablet. JB Hifi have it for $448.

iPad will be faster and easier to use. More places for warranty also. I'm no Apple fan, but the iPads just seem to be better.
In the tablet department, there's really no competition. iPads are simply superior to Android tablets.
Different story when it comes to the phones though.
Different story
And yet somehow Apple still sold more devices than any one Android vendor last year.
@Diji1: and just because Transformers movies break the box office doesn't mean they are great movies.
I am not sure about the superiority. I can expand Android tab storage with microsd. I can load media via OTG thumbdrive.
Every time i need to load media to iPad, i have to use the Apple malware (iTune).
simply superior
Not the case with iPhones vs Android devices. Sales volume is also a poor metric for a comparison like this, including factors such as marketing.
It's been a great tablet but it was cheaper at launch almost 2.5 years ago with this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/212923 so looks like old stock that's no better or cheaper.
Given you can get a lenovo p8 for around half the price, I would be hard pressed to recommend the S2 8 inch tablet for the price.
Local stock plus 24 months manufacturers warranty for S2.
LineageOS support on the Samsung too for long term support.
If local warranty is priority, I'd still go the Lenovo Tab 4 8" for half the price or 10” Plus for the same price over a 2.5yo device. The Tab 3 8” Plus aka P8 is at the sweet spot of specs and price though.
Your link. It is USD or AUD?
It is 192 AUD atm (and hardly the cheapest price ever for the product).
Cheaper at Bing Lee eBay using POWER15: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Samsung-SM-T713NZKEXSA-Galax…
Totals $374
Using Cash Rewards brings it down further to $369 and you can Click and Collect or $9 delivery (with delivery brings it to the same price as this deal though).
$5 cheaper with the Bing Lee deal, at least if you click & collect, more if you use Cash Rewards. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/363734
EDIT: Beaten!
I bought this same tablet 2 years ago from Kogan 20% sales for about $360. WTH is going on with the price ??
Inflation!
Similar story here.
01/2016: Paid $360 from Bing Lee
11/2016: Paid $341 from Amazon.com
I just paid $320 for a 10 inch octacore 2ghz 3gb ram Lenovo 7.0 android. Trumps this in just about every way. I'd advise all in sundry to pass on this one. Only thing lacking on the Tab 4 10 Plus when compared to this tablet is the 1920x1080 resolution, but that's not much of a loss.
Anyone know how emulation is on these things?
After a tablet for a retired couple who will be travelling. Will wait for comments :)
