Questions From a Potential Buyer

[NumairRana]

I'm about to make the plunge and buy a Galaxy Pro 12.2 in the next few days (BTW there's a deal on Samsung's website that gives you the Samsung keyboard case that retails for $130 for free with the Tablet). Anyways, I was wondering how really good the Remote PC feature is on the Note 12.2. Is it lagfree, how is browsing on it if possible. And can you download files onto the PC with the app and then transfer it to your tablet? It sounds like a great app in theory I wanna know how good it is in real life usage.

Also how is flash on a tablet like this, speedy? I know you gotta side load the apk and use Dolphin browser, was just wondering if that can replace a desktop browser with flash (probably not though but worth asking).

And finally, how is it typing on a Logitech Pro keyboard case while on your lap, like you would use a typical laptop, comfortable? I'm gonna attempt to use this as a laptop replacement and if Remote PC can act as a remedy for some small lil things and if the keyboard can make the tablet feel like a real laptop, I'd feel real good about this purchase.

Galaxy pro 12.2 is good.. When look at spec, yes its lagfree, you can transfer info pc via wifidroid or airdroid.
Idk about the flash on 12.2 but on my t311 it worst (using puffin browser).

My recommendation is buy from an establishment that has a reasonable return policy and try it out for a week or two.

Whether or not any tablet works well as a laptop replacement is a matter of the subjectivity of the user so there is always active debate over it. Many feel that tablets are good supplements to laptops while for others they do serve as complete replacements. Only the individual can decide upon the usefulness of the device for themselves.

If you're going to rely on remote desktop to bridge the gap and have good bandwidth on both ends you'll probably be ok. Just know that there's more to it than the tablet itself when it comes to perception of speed in this regard.

As far as downloading of files to the tablet from within the remote desktop applications I'm not sure; remote desktop isn't really my thing but when I do it I use TeamViewer and rather than download files from within that I simply place them in my Dropbox instead.

For Flash I'd say come in with low expectations. Flash hasn't been supported on Android for a while now so don't expect it to work well at all, that way your expectations are either met or exceeded LOL. I've installed Flash from Adobe's archive and run it within Firefox Beta. It works . . just not well all the time. Again this is subjective, depending upon the sites you go to so don't necessarily believe anyone when they tell you things don't work or work great. You'll have to judge for yourself on your own favorite sites.

I'm not sure about the case, it's a good question to ask since tablets don't rely on hinges to keep the screens in position relative to external keyboards.
