Gallery: Samsung's New Tablet Is Huge, But We've Seen Bigger
Samsung01huge-tablets-gallery6
The 18.4-inch Samsung Galaxy View is all about watching movies. It even has a SIM card slot, so you can watch on the go. Of course, it weighs just a hair shy of six pounds, so the whole "on the go" thing might not go so well.

Like a lot of big tablets, Nabi tablets (which are also made by Fuhu) are intended for collaboration and interaction. The BigTab comes in 20- and 24-inch models, with software kids and their parents are supposed to use together. The battery only lasts 30 minutes, though, so your game of Risk is going to be seriously short-lived. Actually that's probably a good thing for familial harmony.
Apple03huge-tablets-gallery7
Aww, so tiny! Apple imagines the 13.3-inch iPad Pro, which comes out later this fall, is a creative canvas on which people can draw, edit video, skateboard---wait no, not that last one. It's the iPad meets the MacBook, plus a new stylus called Pencil that gives you another way to interact with the gigantic display.
Asus04huge-tablets-gallery9
The Asus Transformer AiO was one of those ideas that was so insane you find yourself thinking, "wait, this might work!" The 18.4-inch tablet (it's a trend) could dock into a base and become a monitor for a Windows computer, or you could yank it out and use it like an Android tablet. Why have two huge screens when you could just have one...huge screen?
Fuhu05huge-tablets-gallery5
Fuhu's BigTab tablets *start* at 32 inches. The biggest model is 65 inches, and costs $4,000. They're made to be used as second monitors or games tables, but they have everything you'd need to run them like a full-powered tablet. Don't try watching movies on bed with this thing; if you drop it on your face, you'll probably die.
Lenovo06huge-tablets-gallery4
Lenovo tries to weasel its way out of the tablet competition by calling the Horizon 2 a "table PC," but come on, guys. You only removed one letter---we know what you are. This 27-inch beast is mostly for gaming and, well, gaming. But it's also a pretty powerful PC, if that's what you're after.
Panasonic07huge-tablets-gallery3
Nothing says "tablet" like a 20-inch screen and a $6,000 price tag. Panasonic was pretty sure a super-rugged build and 4K display were going to make the 4K Toughpad Tablet a hit, but they forgot about the fact that carrying around a giant, five-pound display doesn't really work on a construction site. Though it would make for a good shield in the event of falling debris, I guess.
Toshiba08huge-tablets-gallery1
Toshiba was doing 13-inch tablets way before Apple made it cool. The Excite 13 didn't do anything special or different compared to the smaller 7- and 10-inch models; it was just super huge. Given that Android tablets weren't typically good for much other than watching movies or browsing the web, super huge was a good thing. Not good enough for anyone to buy it, really, but that's not the point.
Sony09huge-tablets-gallery2
You look at this picture and you can't help but yell, "what are you?!" Is it an all-in-one? The Vaio Tap20 is kind of an all-in-one, this Windows computer with keyboard and mouse accessories. But then why is there a battery? And if you're supposed to carry it around, why is it so damn heavy? What are you, Sony Vaio Tap20? EXPLAIN YOURSELF.
