Great piece of kit

As you'd expect (and frankly, as you'd hope for at the price!) this is a lovely tablet.
It's speedy and responsive, but where it really excels is in its beautiful, crystal clear screen. I don't think I've ever seen one quite as clear and vibrant. Zoom in on text to ridiculous levels and you'll still not see any pixelation. Needless to say, this - coupled with the size of the screen - makes the tablet perfect for streaming.
On that note, the size of the screen may actually put some people off - it makes the tablet very large and, for some, it's likely to be a bit cumbersome. But I'm personally happy with the size. It's effectively a laptop replacement and it's an awful lot less bulky than one of those.
Integration with the S Pen is great. The magnetic, charge-on-the-back holder thing is a great idea. It can separate a little too easily so you'll have to be careful around it, but as long as it's not constantly moving over other things it should be fine.
The sound is lovely too. I've heard worse actual TVs and computers. I was initially using it with my earphones (it pairs well) but (sound-quality-wise) you just don't need them: the tablet's in-built sound is great.
Battery life isn't exactly stellar for a tablet of this calibre, but neither is it rubbish. I'm getting roughly a day full of intensive use (e.g. videos) or three or four of regular but less demanding/less frequent use (e.g. browsing, reading).
I haven't got a SIM for it yet but knowing I can use it out and about without having to dip in to somewhere with WiFi is useful.
As you'd expect, it integrates really well with other Samsung products, such as my Watch5 and Flip5.
So in short, if you have the cash and want to (a) replace your laptop, (b) have a really good portable TV/streamer or (c) both of the above, the stunning screen and speedy, powerful processing make the S9 Ultra a really good choice.
