Samsung officially announced its Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Student Edition. The special edition tablet comes bundled with a desktop dock and a Bluetooth keyboard.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 can be docked and, with the help of the Bluetooth keyboard, it can be used to perform notebook duties. The desktop dock also allows you to charge the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 while using it. Samsung is marketing this new edition of their Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 towards students as something that can bring you laptop-like functionality without the laptop-like weight and price. As a student myself, I sometimes wish my tablet could replace my laptop but as a programmer, that’s just not possible…yet. As a reminder, here are the specs of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1:
- 10.1-inch 1280×800 resolution display
- 1GB of RAM
- 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD)
- 3.15MP camera on the back, VGA camera on the front
- Android 4.1
- TI OMAP 4430 dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz
- 7000mAh battery
So these specs aren’t quite up to par with existing tablets, but the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 has already been replaced with theGalaxy Tab 3 10.1, so you shouldn’t be too surprised. It still packs enough power to get the job done, which is what students need. I have always loved transforming gadgets like the Asus Padfone !
The tablet also comes with few added goodies like Polaris Office suite, 50 GB Dropbox storage for one year, and three-month subscription for Hulu Plus.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Student Edition is priced at $349.99 and is currently available in Best Buy, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Toys ‘R’ Us, BJ’s, P.C. Richard & Son and Office Max. But $350 sound expensive for students ?
