I am a long-time iPhone user and totally immersed (stuck/bound to) the Apple Ecosystem. I decided recently to seperate my work and personal devices and went with a MS Surface, Samsung Tab S10 Ultra, and Samsung S24 Ultra. I must say this is a great setup and I am quite impressed with the integration of Samsung and Windows. The Samsung devices are hugely customizable and I can see/control each on my Surface. No need to keep picking up my phone all day. I can run apps, see and respond to notifications, etc. Can also see my simluated device on-screen. And the S24 pen, translation capabilities, and AI tools are very, very useful. While Apple devices really shine for fluidity, grace, and finesse, the Samsung/Microsoft devices shine in productivity and sheer utility. Not so much in grace and finesse. It really emphasizes where each company has focused over the years. I would be tempted to flip completely to Samsung if it wasn't for the amazing (and entrapping) Apple ecosystem!

I’ve been using the Tab S10 Ultra for a couple of weeks now as well! It has been great; the option to have floating windows is a game changer. The anti-glare screen is great, and the speakers are amazing. The OS is also silky smooth. The Tab line offers more than the iPad line, TBH. People who refuse to step outside the Apple bubble are missing out.

I was disappointed that they didn’t realise a tab s10, like the option they had for the tab s9 series, the ultra is too big for my needs sadly

Agree. After coming to believe, largely thru Apple forums, that Samsung is so bad, I am pleasantly surprised.

Indeed the ultra is huge. The iPad form factor is much more cozy and personal. I use the ultra mostly for work and sometimes for personal stuff like watching videos or when I need a lot of side-by-side space since it is so wide.
