Great review, as always, so thanks. As I was watching I was comparing the S9 Ultra with keyboard to my M1 MBP 14 in terms of overall functionality. As attractive as the Ultra is, and it is gorgeous, I couldn't see it fitting into my use case (which of course doesn't apply to anyone but me).

I have a regular Tab S9 while my friend got the Ultra. I love the size for what I use it for (reading, watching shows outside), but every time I see the super giant screen of his tablet and the nice keyboard cover I definitely get a bit of envy. Not envious of the sheer weight and carrying size of both though!

I have one and as much as I love it, just like how a gaming laptop is more so a desktop replacement, the S9 Ultra is like a tablet replacement. It's still an absolutely amazing tablet though and I haven't touch a lot of the other tech I have since I got it.

I only have owned this for maybe two weeks, not long enough. My goal is for a laptop replacement so of course I did buy the $350 keyboard. So far my issue is most of my business apps seem to work better on Microsoft Windows. But I really need to try to make this work (I have reasons to find an alternative to Microsoft laptop). I have a lot of adjustment for my workflow. Struggling with Outlook, Teams, Onedrive, and the big issue= Service Now. It all works but is just different and seems to have trouble rendering certain plugins and the file/ folder system is a problem. I am okay with using a "dropbox" type of folder system (OneDrive)

Yes, that's why I'm on the fence about canceling my S9 Ultra order. It's plenty powerful with its SD8 Gen 2 and all-day battery, but doing your work on Windows is definitely easier and more straightforward than doing your work on Android. Plus, there are stuff you simply can't do on tablets, so "laptop replacement" is a pipe dream in my book. But the order is about $550 after trade-ins and if I cancel my order, that kind of money can only buy a budget friendly laptop. So... I'm on the fence.

My Tab S9 Ultra has the most gorgeous display. It might just be a settings issue maybe? Try: Settings > Display > Display Mode Select vivid instead of natural. Maybe that fixes your problem? The iPad has a Mini LED Display (basically LCD), which is awesome too; but compared to the Dynamic AMOLED 2x HDR Display on the S9, I like the S9's Display better.
