A 14.6-inch tablet with Samsung’s top-tier hardware and an S Pen in the box usually means you’re staring at a four-figure price. Right now, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra (256GB, Wi-Fi, with S Pen) is down to $799.99, which instantly changes the math. You’re getting a huge canvas for work, streaming, and note-taking at a price that undercuts a lot of premium laptops and tablets in the same space.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is built around that massive 14.6-inch display, which is really the star of the show. It gives you enough room to comfortably run split-screen apps, edit photos, or watch movies without feeling cramped. Paired with Samsung’s fast internals and 256GB of storage, it feels more like a portable workstation than a casual couch tablet.

The S Pen is included, which is a big deal if you like to take handwritten notes, sketch, or mark up PDFs. There’s no extra accessory tax just to unlock the best features. Between the S Pen, Samsung’s multitasking tools, and support for keyboards and mice, the Tab S10 Ultra can easily stand in for a lightweight laptop for a lot of people.

At $1,199.99, the Tab S10 Ultra is clearly aimed at power users and Samsung diehards. At $799.99, it becomes a much more realistic option if you’re comparing it to high-end Chromebooks, iPad Pro setups, or ultraportable laptops. You’re getting a premium build, a huge high-quality display, and pen support without having to buy into a pile of add-ons just to make it usable.

It also fits a bunch of different lifestyles without needing separate devices. It can be a digital notebook for students, a second screen for professionals, a portable media center for flights, or a sketchbook for creatives. If you already live in the Samsung ecosystem, it plays especially nicely with Galaxy phones, Buds, and laptops.

If you’ve been curious about using a big-screen Android tablet as a true laptop alternative, this Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra deal is the moment to take it seriously. At $799.99, you’re getting Samsung’s flagship tablet experience, a massive display, and an included S Pen for hundreds less than usual.

The best Android phones remain some of the most-anticipated mobiles each year, yet historically, iPad has remained the dominant tablet force. I’ve just come off of a month of testing the OnePlus Pad Go 2, which should be a tempting iPad alternative due to its price and size (a 12-inch screen for a cost that's comparable to the base-level 10-inch iPad), but that time just reminded me how far Android lags behind iPadOS.
