Is Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 @ $199 a good deal?

Never had a tablet before, thinking it might be fun.

In today's 8" market, it's a really good tablet for the price. Main downside is touchwiz, which doesn't bother me personally all that much. I'm considering picking one up as a replacement for my, now dead, Nexus 7 (2013).

After only a year and a half the price is cut in half. It is better than the ipad mini in pretty much every measurable way. But because it doesnt have a picture of a fruit on the back, we get to buy it at a lower price! Yay. This is an excellent $200 tablet.

Only question mark is that Samsung has a spotty record with updating their tablet lines. If that doesn't matter to you, then purchase away. Unless of course if you want an AMOLED screen, then get the Tab S.

I actually prefer the screen on the Pro Vs the S. The S is kinda fake looking. I have the pro and when was purchasing, both the S and Pro were roughly the same price. But I preferred the Pro. 200 buck is a very good deal. And lollipop should be hitting the Pro line in a few weeks. 5.1.1 I believe.

If you get this, don't expect an update.

Ok, sounds good. So they are pretty much always this price now?

No more android updates for it? Seems odd, but reasonable. That can be manually updated can't it? Not that I would really need it, not a power user. Plan to use it for email, netflix, and talkin to you guys.

There is a lot of talk of it getting a update finally this quarter... but it is Samsung, so nothing is for sure. Can always use CM to get lollipop tho worst case.
