S10 ultra - would it be a good laptop replacement?
I've been thinking about replacing my laptop with a tablet for a while now and decided to wait for the S10 series before making a choice, but now I’m even more unsure. My main concern is the processor - how good is Mediatek? When it comes to laptop, I considered a Surface Laptop with the X Elite or X Plus chip, but honestly, I don’t think I need/want a laptop, which is why I’m leaning towards a tablet. I already have a work laptop, a tab S6, and old personal laptop that I loved, but I barely use now. I’d mainly use the new device for amateur photo and video editing, writing, and watching content. I want a device with a big, laptop-like screen, so that's why I’m not considering the Plus version + I want it to last at least five years. My big concern is Office for tablets - on my S6, it doesn’t run well.
Given my doubts about the Mediatek chip, I’ve thought about the S9 Ultra, but it’s more expensive than the S10 now. In Poland, there’s a nice (in my opinion) launch offer for the S10 Ultra with discounts and a free keyboard cover - something I couldn’t get with the S9 Ultra.
- Important - I’m not interested in used devices.
- Maybe also important - I'm a heavy samsung user, my personal phone is S23 ultra.
What would you do in my position? I will appreciate any advice and opinions! 🫶
