As a full-time writer and mom of three, I’m always looking for ways to enhance my productivity. I love having a dependable tablet — for work or entertainment — to take along to my kids’ various activities. Usually, I rely on my iPad — with a reliable keyboard case — for these purposes, but I’ve been testing the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra
The tablet doesn’t include a case, which is normal, but the Book Cover Keyboard, Samsung’s official keyboard case, costs $350, with the Slim option costing $200. If you’re looking for a tablet that doubles as a laptop, the added keyboard expense must factor into a decision to buy the S10 Ultra.
Samsung launched the new Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Ultra tablets with a new processor a few weeks ago, formalizing its breakup with Qualcomm chipsets. The new S10 Ultra tablet has a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, which Samsung says is best suited for tasks running on artificial intelligence (AI).

My biggest gripe with the S Pen is that it stows on the back of the tablet, which means it’ll constantly detach if you use it on your lap without a case.

As for longevity, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra runs on Android 14 with Samsung’s One UI 6.1.1 and supports up to seven years of OS upgrades. This makes it a great option for users invested in the Samsung ecosystem, who can benefit from fast and reliable device syncing between Galaxy phones, Buds, and Watch.
