Samsung unveils Galaxy TabPro S tablet with Windows 10 at CES 2016
However, if Samsung wants to compete with Surface Pro, the device must be packed with high-end components.
Samsung claims that the tablet’s 5,200mAh battery provides enough charge for all-day use of up to 10.5 hours, and can be fully charged in about 2.5 hours through a fast charging capability.
The device is about 6.3 millimeters thin and weighs 693 grams and delivers full PC functionality with both Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro for business. “The lightweight, power-efficient 12-inch AMOLED display enables users to enjoy gaming, movies and other popular entertainment with unprecedented clarity and color accuracy”. Both Notebook 9 machines also incorporate new Security CAM features that allow users to take and send photos through their on-board cameras to a pre-registered email address in case of theft, according to Samsung. Best of all, the tablet has a full-sized keyboard, which has a nice touchpad. This gives you HDMI and USB Type C and A connections, and there will also be an optional Bluetooth stylus available as well. Tech experts found that Samsung has a tradition of launching new tablets during March.
The TabPro S will be available in February, although pricing wasn’t announced. Not almost as seamless as Windows Hello, and arguably less efficient than just logging in, but Samsung says it’s working on a way to unlock the device just by proximity.
Its official and comprehensive specs sheet hasn’t been released yet, but the Galaxy TabPro S is said to be powered by a 2.2GHz gen Intel dual-core M chip with 8GB RAM and internal storage of either 128GB or 256GB. A few hours earlier to the Samsung’s press conference at the CES 2016, the renders of the 12-inch tablet named Galaxy Tab Pro S have been leaked suggesting the first Galaxy device to come without Android OS. The Korean manufacturer announced the Galaxy TabPro S that’s the first Windows tablet from Samsung in quite long time. The device does not host any button on front panel, and sports front and back camera. Just like Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4, then.
