Very nice!!! 
I've been toying with the idea of getting one of those, but I'm not sure how much I would use it.

Well I find it very handy while on the move during the day and when the power is out at home
Yes, I can understand how handy it would be for you to do business away from home.
I'm retired and have no pressing issues that can't wait.
I just noticed that they are on sale here for $279.00 CDN.
Oh dear, I shouldn't have looked

Now look what you started 
Admit it Rocky . . . You're now hooked.

Just added DISH satellite internet and a wifi system at my house. It cured my lack of cell phone reception and the internet speed isn't too bad. Its not cable, but for someone in the boondocks, its great.
However, I have a new laptop with Windows 8 and a touch screen and I absolutely hate both. Its worse than my Galaxy 4 smart phone in terms of never knowing what it will do next. I was entering a sales listing on ebay last weekend and all of a sudden everything on my screen went to microscopic size- and I mean a whole page was less than 1/4" by 1/4" square; and it wasn't just ebay, but everything on the internet, including my browser. The main problem was that its very hard to diagnose and fix problems when a whole page is smaller than your mouse pointer.
And on Windows 8, instead of a menu, I have page after page of photos and images and I have no idea what most of them mean. Why can't they use words? Programs that I have used forever on Windows now cannot be found. Maybe I need to try every image and keep a cheat sheet telling me what it does, but then I also have the problem of exiting these image programs and to date cannot get out of them without invoking the Task Manager.
I think Microsoft is trying to make software for illiterates with nothing but photos and images, and no words at all.
Boy I wish we could go back to small cell phones that actually fit into your pocket like the Motorola Razr and always had a good signal, and back to Windows 3.1.

@Gary do yourself a favour and purchase this for your Windows 8 laptop and use a mouse as you would normally use. The Windows 8 Start menu returns with Start8! That stupid setup that they introduced with Windows 8 is just crazy. This was the first thing I purchased when I installed Windows 8 on my desktop
Dave, enjoy your Galaxy tablet. I've got a Google Nexus 7" tablet and I'm very impressed with it (I'm sure it's very similar to your Samsung since they both run Android). One of the best things about it is that there is absolutely no Microsoft software on it!
I must say for positing on forums this one works far better than my last one. I found that the old one I would need to switch to the basic forum editor for the spell check and other features to work.
Must agree about the no MS software

I've always liked windows 8/8.1 on my phone but it took some getting used to on the laptop. I'm settled in on it there too now.
Well I am running Windows 8.1 on my desktop and being able to use is with menus and a mouse as per normal I like it
