Buying call

Buy the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra if you want an Android laptop replacement for sketching or split-screen work: Samsung lists it at $1,399.99 for 256GB (Oct 8, 2026). It has a 14.6-inch 120Hz OLED, a Dimensity 9500, an included S Pen and IP68, and it lasted 12 h 44 min in a full-brightness video test. Skip it if you'll mostly hold it, because at 14.6 inches it's awkward on the couch, and skip it if you own a Tab S11 Ultra, which is nearly identical. The keyboard costs extra, and there's no 5G model.
