   I've been looking at Samsung tablets for a couple of months. Today, I went to Best Buy, looked at their tablet display (one tablet with a huge 12 inch screen) and left. Then I visited their site: order now and it will be available for in-store pickup 2022-02-11.
   
   Finally, I decided to go ahead and buy it off #Amazon. Delivery expected on Tuesday 2022-02-08. #Best_Buy has an extensive store network, but no product in their stores. I can hear the sound of Bankruptcy Court incoming.
   
   (This happened with #Frys_Electronics a few years ago ... first they stopped having their normal product lines in stock in their stores, then they tried to branch out to include products that no one would think of buying there, then when sales cratered, they shut down.)

      I also looked at #Dell and #Microsoft Surface "2n1" tablet-laptop units. Over $1,000 for the cheapest in-stock models, plus all the pain and suffering that goes with using #Windows.

      Maybe but times are very different now, everybody is having stock issues with electronics. As far as 2n1's go, the wife has an older version of this and it runs Tumbleweed just fine and ran Fedora for the prior few years. Different CPU/etc than the one below.
