But the PC is dead...
I would only ever buy a tablet with 4K screen and DolbyVision to watch streamed content and enjoy Plex media in bed, on a train, etc.
For 1,200 Ultra model does not seem to offer "Ultra" media experience.
I am going to have to tell Samsung to shove this one up their ass. :) my cpu is probably even faster in this laptop, cause Samsung chips are junk based on my galaxy a53 experience.

As a notepad, Samsung just does it better.
The base model S9 also somehow loses the ultrawide camera that's been on since Tab S6...
Seems too low for an AMOLED unfortunately, somehow Samsung doesn't seem to improve this part.
Also, if Sammy is already gouging out their price tags, just imagine what they'd be if they slapped 4K (or higher) screens on those Tabs.
If I were to argue Samsung not improving, it'd be on the basis of still staying on the same resolution of a 2019 device.
No need for 4k they just need to use the resolution of the Ultra for 11" version and the "problem" is solved.
