Samsung Unveils the ARM-based Galaxy Book S Laptop

Samsung Unveils the ARM-based Galaxy Book S Laptop

PC components Aug 8,2019 0

At its New York event, besides the galaxy Note 10 seris, Samsung unveiled a new ARM processor-based Windows laptop called the Galaxy Book S.

Developed by Samsung, Microsoft and Qualcomm, the Galaxy Book S, this new Windows 10 PC offers Gigabit LTE connectivity to the cloud, touch-to-wake capabilities, the Snapdragon 8cx compute platform, and a design that that is ultra-slim and light-weight. The Snapdragon 8cx promises performance and battery boosts that is meant to rival an Intel U-series option on speed.

The laptop has only a single USB-C port on the right edge, while another USB-C slot and a headphone jack are all you'll find on the left. Tucked under this pair of ports is a SIM card slot that also has a spot for a microSD card.

Samsung estimates the Galaxy Book S will last 23 hours on a charge. That battery estimate seems reasonable in part because the Book S's 13-inch screen runs at just full HD.

Galaxy Book S’ 13.3-inch display comes with a 10-point multi-touch, allowing you to scroll, zoom and control the device, with a touch of a finger.

The laptop packs 8GB of RAM and runs a 64-bit version of Windows on ARM. This means that you'll find most options you need on Snapdragon PCs, like Adobe's suite of apps or Microsoft Office. But it's the odd obscure app that you might have trouble getting to run smoothly on Windows on ARM.

The Galaxy Book S is always-on, always-connected and always-capable. Gigabit LTE adds a virtually constant connection to the cloud, providing high-speed access to applications and content without relying on Wi-Fi. Booting up is a thing of the past – Galaxy Book S features touch-to-wake capabilities for instant access. Like a smartphone, anything you need is readily available at the touch of your finger.

Galaxy Book S also includes Samsung’s studio quality Sound by AKG stereo speakers, while Dolby Atmos elevates and refines the audio experience with tailored sound modes for movies, music, games and more.

Microsoft’s Your Phone app provides a connection between Galaxy Book S and Galaxy Note10 so you can access your most recent photos, apps and notifications, and instantly respond to calls and texts between device. Galaxy Book S also features Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage.

The Galaxy Book S will cost about $999 when it retails this fall in select markets.
