Many see the 8-inch tablet as the ideal size as it offers more screen real estate compared to the likes of the Nexus 7, and is not so big to carry around like 10-inch models. Today we have news of a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 price cut that is enticing.

We have seen the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 being treated to a price cut before, and today we have news of another on for consumes in the US. Online retailer Amazon will sell you the tablet PC for only $249, which is a saving of $150 on the usual asking price.
