Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" 16GB Wifi for $499.99 with $100 Fry's Gift Card

Quote from salesbig : I love it.. I have one... best tablet .. better than any Apple ipad.. Great deal..

Great choice

resolution is not so good. i'd go w/ the nexus 10.

I recently got one of these from Cowboom to match my Note 2. Love this tablet, and I've used quiet a few brands and quite a few OS's.
Cannot go wrong with this thing!
The IR with the Pace App. controls my tv, dvr, blu-ray and soundbar. Pretty awesome touchscreen remote!

Are you kidding me? 1280x800 on a 10" screen on a $500 tablet?

Quote from Xerxes : I thought Best Buy didn't match gift card deals.

It is a YMMV situation. People did report success for the previous tab 2 deal.

Quote from Emjay : resolution is not so good. i'd go w/ the nexus 10.

True, but there are pros and cons to both. The stylus is the obvious one. The ability to use SD cards in the Note may be the decider for some.

Nexus 10 appeals to Andoid purists that love spec-bragging rights, especially over the iPads, but the Note is a much more higher-end looking/feeling unit in build quality (though both are made by Samsung) that appeals to people who don't wish to be short-changed in how it looks and feels.

It is sort of like the MB vs BMW decision.

Personally, I think the iPad is still the better tablet overall in the 10" tablet category while the 7" android tablets are the ones to have for the advantages they have over the 10" tablets for certain uses. At the moment.

Quote from liquid_celica : If you guys are really interested in this, I would find out how much it cost at Costco (479.99 - $40 coupon book = $439.99 ) and PM that. Hopefully, you get it for $439.99 and get the $100 GC with it. It's a really nice tablet.

Just come back from Costco at Santa Clara CA and they have Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with S-pen and sleeve for $429 after instant coupon. Yeah, it is weird that even cheaper than the coupon book price.

Sorry that I forgot to take a photo to prove that.

That's funny. I remember back in college, Samsung and LG known for making fans - like the ones that blow in air in your face because you couldn't afford an air conditioner. But now, Samsung and LG are top brands.

Quote from Emjay : resolution is not so good. i'd go w/ the nexus 10.

I didn't think android had too many apps that really supported that resolution.

Update, I tried three best buy's and none of them budged. Guess they holding true to no matching promotions.

Should I jump on the costco deal @ $429.99 for 16GB or are there better deals to come? Anybody know when Samsung is releasing the new models?

Once you see a nexus 10 next to a note 10.1, you will want to throw the note in the trash.

Seriously the resolution on the note 10.1 is the same as my 5.3" note phone. Pathetic and completely unacceptable in 2013.

Yeah but presently I'd rather a stylus using tablet. Surely the next version will come out with update resolution this year, and I'll kick myself, but I'll just worry about that then.

Still, it beats the Touchpad I'm on. If I just cared about books, movies, and comics it would be a go.

Did that come out to 479.99 + tax on that - 40 dollar coupon?

I just bought one from TigerDirect for 499.99, no tax or e-waste fee, with BoA 20 dollars cash back. It is being delivered today.

Amazon warehouse has these in "Like New" condition for around 370, I've seen it multiple times already.
