Samsung Galaxy TabPro S Hits The Market
The Galaxy TabPro S, which was unveiled in January in Samsung’s keynote at CES, is launching today in the U.S. The ultra thin, detachable 2-in-1 is optimized for entertainment. It is available in Microsoft stores, Best Buy and Samsung for $899.99.
The TabPro S is very lightweight, coming in at 1.53 pounds. It’s also the thinnest Windows 10 2-in-1 on the market today. The device has a 12" Super AMOLED touchscreen (2160×1440) and a fully functioning keyboard that comes standard with a responsive touchpad.
Samsung also announced it’s bringing its own take on the Surface Pen later in the year, as well as feature called Flow, which is akin to Apple’s Continuity. It enables deep interaction between your Galaxy phone and the tablet, allowing you to view and respond to texts from your computer, view notifications, log in automatically, or easily star a hotspot.
The device comes standard with an Intel Core M3 processor clocked at 2.2 GHz, which is optimized for Windows 10, along with 4GB of RA and a 128 GB solid state drive. It offers 10 hours of battery life.
Samsung claims the TabPro S can last 10.5 hours in a charge with mixed usage. Interestingly, it’s also including its quickcharge technology, which will recharge the battery in less than 2.5 hours.
In addition to the Galaxy TabPro S, Samsung’s Windows 10 portfolio includes the recently released Notebook 9 13-inch and Notebook 9 15-inch - two new ultra-lightweight laptops in Samsung’s Notebook 9 line. They are available starting at $999.99 and $1,199.99, respectively.
Both new Notebook 9s are engineered from aluminum and magnesium alloy for a light build. At only 1.9 pounds, the 13-inch notebook is the lightest in its class, while the 15-inch weighs less than 2.9 pounds.
The Notebook 9 is powered by a 6th Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, combined with a solid state drive. The 13-inch lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge with the 15-inch lasting up to 12-hours, and with Fast Charging capabilities, it can recharge in about 90 minutes.
The devices feature an immersive Full HD LED backlighting display with wide viewing angles, and a 180-degree hinge.
For professionals, the 13.3-inch Notebook 9 can come equipped with Windows 10 Pro. It also comes with BitLocker, which uses a TPM microchip to help protect the system and user data and ensure the device is not tampered with, even if left unattended, lost, or stolen.
