Kinda. But I guess with the OLED or whatever flexible screens it's closer to feasible.
There was a dual screen phone in the works a couple years back. Not sure what ever came of that.
IMO, the storage question comes down to gaming and movies. If you plan on using your tablet for those purposes, then you may want to look at more storage (i.e. load a bunch of games/movies for a road trip or flight). If you're just doing internet browsing and photo viewing, 16 GB is plenty. If you only keep 1-2 movies/big games on your tablet, you can get away with 16 GB, but you definitely have to micromanage it. Some people like to have more options on what they watch and play though, so it's up to you.

Samsung should be releasing the Tab S2 line pretty soon. The Tab S was considered by many to be the best Android tablet last generation. I'm waiting for them to come out to replace my Nexus 10, which is once again a gigantic piece of shit a month or two after factory wiping, cleaning/formating cache partition, etc.
edit: Actually I guess Samsung announced those a month back, but they don't seem to be available yet. And there's some rumors that Samsung may release a "flagship" tablet that sits above the Tab S2 line. Meh.

ehh keyboard sucks... thing about the Surface Pro Keyboard (esp the 3+) is that it is very much usable and on par (within reason) with a laptop... this apple one looks like your run of the mill ebay keyboard case.

If they are, it's because Microsoft is handing them over to Apple considering they were on the stage shilling up a version of Office for the iPad Pro. (sidenote, so was Adobe)So, Apple going directly for the balls of Microsoft with iPad Pro announcement

I think it is in Apple and MS's best interest that they collaborate so they can both "change" the consumer opinion and get people into these kind of tablet/laptops. Very smart plan from both of them.

Okay, I guess I was not paying attention... but the iPad Pro just uses iOS... not OSX? whats the point...

Until they start bringing in apps that need a touchpad or something there really isn't a point except that it would suck to type on the screen on something that size so they needed a way to get it on a stand and have a flat keyboard in front of it.
Have you seen the prices on that? Ridiculous.
They made an oversized Ipad, with a tablet processor that is pretty much nothing like a surface pro ( a true PC)

It's basically the Surface RT which everyone hated but people will buy this since it's Apple ...
Never understood the desire for giant tablets to replace a laptop. I'd rather have a Macbook Air over this. I guess if I was artistic, then maybe I'd get one for the pencil, but it's just not for me.
