Performance

++++ 2 GBs of ram is plenty for 2014. The Tab Pro is able to multitask well in the sense that there is rarely a reload in sight. Even the usual suspects such as the default internet browser with multiple open tabs has no problems here.

+++ generally speaking, everything runs fast on the tablet. In fact, its Antutu benchmark score is quite impressive, even.

—– LAG. not sure about Samsung adding more graphically when they haven’t yet solved the age-old lag in Touchwiz. Running regular apps is enough to cause launcher lag.  And then if you ring up the app drawer and you’ll see very clearly how those icon shadows suddenly pop into view a split second later. No longer is this aesthetically pleasing and all these graphical enhancements appears as though it was an after-thought. Something tacked on in the final hours of release.

Battery life

+++ refrain from gaming on the tablet, and you’ll make it past two days with moderate usage. This is quite fair for a tablet.

+++ in fact, as long as the display stays off, you’ll have great battery life. Sounds like a stupid thing to say but examples of such use cases may be you’re using the tablet to play some music. Such high power draw from the display could be the direct result of Samsung choosing LCD technology over AMOLED, and with such high PPI as well.
