White Galaxy Note 10.1" for €380 in Argos, €330 after cashback

antomack · 05-12-2012 12:36PM #1

I see that argos have the white galaxy note for €380 at the moment with limited stock around the country. With €50 cashback from Samsung that brings it down to €330. It's currently £318 on amazon which equates to about €400.

Seems like a very good deal op. Would probably hold of for a nexus 10 tho.

What's the word on the nexus 10 about Ireland?

Not going to see it for ages. It's still sold out in the UK. Very tempted by this, as i had wanted a Nexus 10, but can't wait months for it.

bought it yesterday its brilliant!

Saruman · 06-12-2012 10:49AM

Bloody hell. I bought it up north for £333 and will get the £50 cash back but this price is enough to make me wish I had waited....

Can I get €50 cashback on that?

Hi all,

Unable to reserve one of these on the argos site at the moment even though they are due in the next few days.

Might be another one of those famous argos reductions that we cannot get our hands on due to very limited / no stock in their stores. Wonder what the price will be when the item does eventually become available.

Is this a significant upgrade over the tab 2 could anyone shed light on?

Just tried to reserve and got as far as entering my contact details, but once I tried to confirm, it said the item wasn't reserved and is out of stock

Quad core and twice the ram. Also the built in stylus and true multitasking.

Also reservation for Killarney as sister-in-law also doesn't want one - 005130.

Both reserved till end of day today.

Anyone know if the €50 cashback applies to this one aswell?

markad1 · 06-12-2012 03:22PM

cashback

http://www.samsung.com/uk/tab2cashback/

Your application must be received on-line no sooner than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date of your receipt/invoice. The date of purchase on the receipt counts as day 1.

Thanks.

Hmmm, sounds like they scrimped on the screen to keep the price down and it hurt, proprietary charger instead of USB aswell, sounds like a good tablet but I think Id rather upgrade my current phone to a Note 2 and sell my Xperia for 60-70 on Evirofone or wherever.

Nothing wrong with the screen, just not as many pixels as iPad or nexus 10.

It's also not a charging port, it's like the iPad, it's an accessory port as well as charging port. Like HDMI out or full size USB port dongle etc.

Have both reserved and simply can't decide if the note is really worth the extra hundred quid or I should just settle for the tab 2, I'm a very careful buyer and given that I'll mainly be using it for netflix and reading It's really doing my head in

Exact same dilemma for me, leaning towards the cheaper option if Im honest as I have a decent laptop thats always on anyway, this would be for comics/ebooks and watching films and browsing in bed.

The Tab 2 will play 720p tv and films okay in full screen wont it?

Scratch that, sounds like its just a little bit too slow.

I think its back to waiting and watching Bargain Alerts for me, hopefully something will come up in the January Sales

06-12-2012 06:28PM

Those reviews have put me off a fair bit alright, went into Currys to mess around with them earlier and the screen quality is quite noticeably worse than the competitors but I'm sure I wouldn't notice too much. It is a fair bit cheaper than the iPad and comparable enough I suppose, half 3 and a half hours to make up my mind now but just know I'll make the wrong decision...:D

Thargor · 06-12-2012 06:46PM

Did the same thing myself, had a look in Power City in Bray there on the way home, the Notes screen was pretty impressive to my eye to be honest but my previous tablet experience is just a cheap 7" someone brought me from Thailand. Both looked like decent pieces of kit but Im going to wait, Ill be very surprised if we make it through Christmas and the January sales without seeing a better offer.

06-12-2012 06:57PM

yeah it's by no means a bad screen and I really like the UI but when you look at the iPad it's really no comparison. The shape of the iPad is quite bad for watching videos and the Apple tax isn't really justifiable, this is much faster than all the other competitors and that pen could be useful for college but not sure at all atm. I know I'll regret buying it if I don't, with the €50 cashback it's a good price but so is the Tab 2...

Thargor · 06-12-2012 07:05PM

Well Ive definitely ruled out the Tab 2 because when I buy Ill expect to knock a couple of years out of it, Id buy the Note 2 right now if it wasnt for the screen issue, is it an actual issue or just an invisible to the naked eye difference that only an Engadget writer or Apple fanboy would make an issue out of it?

It's not a problem and the brightness was probably turned down a bit on it. It may have just looked unimpressive due to the background which was dark, I could imagine that there'd be no issues when not in comparison to the superscreen on the iPad which is a fairly higher resolution and unmatched in any other tablet, I keep making a decision to buy it and going back on it minutes later...

Thargor · 06-12-2012 07:32PM

I think Im going to hold off and see what happens, maybe get an Ultrabook instead.

06-12-2012 07:53PM

Think I'm going to pick it up, the user reviews are overwhelmingly positive and it's supposedly great for watching movies which is something I'll probably be using it for a lot of the time.

Sure the guy on Cnet upgraded his score for it after using it for a while which must be worth something.
