Hi,

I am torn between these tablets. Hope anyone can give their input. I already have a Samsung Note 3. I use onenote a lot for meetings, so looking to productive side as well. I don't draw, so don't care about pressure sensitive stylus. Looking at the Surface 4 pro also. 12" is too big to be portable and it will be few years before intel manges to make small SoC where windows tablets are the same size as android. Also, microsoft has a lot catching up to do in

Highlights:
Z4 - too expensive, superb sound-stereo speakers, waterproof. RM 2700
Nexus 9 - updates come fist. stereo speakers. No expandable storage RM 17xx
Samsung S2 9.7 - better than S1? Better first party accessories, RM2000
Nvidia Shield? - not sold here right?

Budget around RM 2k.

My wife is using a Samsung Note 10.1 (2014), weighs quite heavy and thick after including the rotated case.
My mom is using a Samsung tab S 8.0. I like the official case. Makes the tablet quite thin.

I am not sure what tablet to get now.

Games = Nvidia Shield no doubt (a bit heavy, check the weight)

The remaining Tablet from android = not worth buying (sucky SOC)

Peace of mind = go for Ipad

This year, Android tablet lineup seem pathetic.

I have few apps purchased in the Google ecosystem. I don't want to purchase it again.

I did look at the mediapad m2, but not sure how good it is. Anyone bought it?
