After using my Tab for almost 7.5 months, I realize that tablets cannot replace the laptops:

- First and foremost, the reason is you cannot seamlessly switch between MS office files, for example, if I have opened one word file and wish to keep it open and work on other one, I cannot switch between them. 

- App developers for Samsung tabs have not optimized their apps to work seamlessly on Android tabs because there has not been any stability in the Android tabs, not even with Samsung. Samsung has not done enough work with app developers to work on their tabs.

- as a result, you start feeling that apps unnecessarily start consuming lot of space on the tab leaving the tab consumers to either rely on cloud space or SD Card (using SD card in 2021 is like as if we are living in the victorian era)

- even though Samsung provides S-Pen, it does not provide S-Pen tips or spare S-Pen in the market (both online and offline)

- Samsung has to work seamlessly with the developers and spend money on the app developers to improvize their apps to suit Samsung Tabs atleast. 

- Samsung does not provide earphones and is pushing the consumers to buy earbuds and MS Office license separately if they want to work on the tablets. 

- though the keyboard given with S7 is a good one (better than ipad), it still needs to improvize a lot as far as it's usage specially while using Function keys is concerned.

What happened to your pen tip??

Nothing. I need the hard tip, white one. The black one which was in the box has a soft tip.

A quico correction: MS office subscription is a matter of Microsoft and not Samsung, you need to buy it separately even if you have a laptop.

I agree. The only limited am making is seamless switching between files while using MS office.

You can't get S Pen and separate tips in the market whereas atleast Apple provides for apple pencil (if people can afford) they can atleast go to Apple store and buy one.

Yes I am having issues finding nibs.
I respect the fact that samsung is trying to build a community network through members, but are they looking at our chats?I don't think so. This is just a forum to discuss.
I am having issues connecting to wifi. I use a Poco f1 phone and the s6 lite tablet. The phone is 2 years old but still had better wifi capabilities than the tablet which is bought in 2021.The phone displays more wifi networks than the tablet keeping them side by side.

I know the fact that tablets are a market were companies cut corners, but I mean this is a rip off. You get a extremely bad chip, with a tft screen, space is compromised, scrolling is not upto mark. When compared with some standard phones in this price range. Only positive thing is Android on a bigger screen. I bought this for 24k. I that money you can get a laptop.
