For Americans, yes, as you guys seem to have all the apps that you need, built in.
For us foreigners, most of the apps are redundant/not accessible. We have our own services, and when they arrive on the new ATV, our ATV can do more then collect dust. Some of our local SVOD uses Airplay, but I prefer to use a PS4, but an ATV that does everything can be my single STB
They are in stock in NZ next week so I'll get one.

The new Apple TV is more of a reboot then polish imo.

I'm interested in the Pro, as I'm not in most other Apple products, including the new Apple TV, which is just polishing an old product.
18"? I see their market but I just don't think it's that big. But I could be wrong. Things are changing. And maybe if I was deciding on if I wanted a tv I may choose an 18" tablet if I didn't have a computer. But I'm not. And I do have a computer.
Samsung One-Ups iPad Pro With 18-Inch Galaxy View Tablet
Think the iPad Pro is big? Wait till you get a load of this thing. Samsung on Wednesday took the wraps off the monster Galaxy View tablet, an "unprecedented mobile entertainment experience" with an 18.4-inch screen.
It's so big that it comes with a handle built into its screen cover, so you can carry the tablet like a briefcase — after all, it probably won't fit into your actual briefcase. The idea of the device, however, unlike the iPad Pro, isn't to give you more screen real estate for productivity apps. The Galaxy View is all about media.
Samsung
The idea (presumably) is that you can take the View anywhere and use it as a small wireless TV — in the bedroom or kitchen, perhaps, or on the plane or train. The big screen is only 1080p, though, so you'll want to sit back a bit or those big pixels will really show.. And at nearly 6 pounds it isn't exactly the easiest travel companion.
Does the idea of an enormous tablet-TV seem reasonable to you? Unfortunately, you can't buy one just yet — Samsung didn't provide any pricing or availability information. CES is just around the corner, however, so you may reasonably hope to hear more in January.
