    As per the title, both are similarly priced:

    Asus Spec Overview:
    Lollipop 5.0
    4Gb RAM
    64Gb Storage
    2.33GHz Intel Atom Quad Core
    Screen: 2048 x 1536 pixels
    USB-C connector

    Samsung Tab S 8.4
    ARM Exynos 5 Octa Core 1.9GHz
    3GB RAM
    16GB Storage
    Android 4.4


    I'm not sure. Any recommendations? from what I've read, the Tab S is an old Samsung model. I'm not prepared to stretch to the price of the Tab S2. However, it seems to have a decent processor and RAM.
    The ASUS comes with a lot of bloatware, but with higher pixel count, 1GB more RAM, Android 5.0, 64GB memory and future proofing with the USB-C connector. It also costs slightly (but more by much) less than the Samsung.


    Any recommendations?


    Thanks.

    Looks like holy war is coming ;) My personal vote goes for Asus just because I am totally satisfied with any Asus product I have.

    Holy war - a flame-war between two or more people that neither party can win (I meant Asus vs Samsung lovers). Post count tells me I was wrong...

    It seesm that as the Samsung is an old model, for slightly less money the Asus would be the better buy. The problem of the bloatware can be resolved, by deleting the items or at the very least hiding them.

    I know you are a fan of Asus, but objectively which is the better option?
