Samsung Galaxy TabPro S
Samsung’s made another tablet? How exciting
Someone got out of the wrong side of bed this morning! Listen, pal, we may be flooded with tablets at the mo, but this isn’t just a tablet – it’s one of those cool two-in-one PCs that will soon take over from laptops. To clarify, the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is a fully-functional, well-specced tablet that clips onto a keyboard to become a full-on Windows PC within seconds.
So this is the new iPad rival?
No. iPads aren’t the productivity devices (read: a more portable type of laptop) that Samsung has made here. While both devices have a similar amount of power under the hood, plus a sharp screen, the iPad lacks ‘proper’ apps that you’d find on the Mac. It also has none of the mouse functionality we crave when working.
So Galaxy’s newbie is rather good?
Actually, yes it is. For something that’s running Windows, the Galaxy TabPro S also seems to be quite entertaining. Not only does the Super AMOLED touch-screen offer nice colours and clarity, but being able to stream from your Xbox One (thanks to Windows 10) is ace – and good news for gamers and those who want to watch films.
What accessories does it come with?
A full-sized keyboard cover to enhance functionality (so you can crack on with work wherever you are). The keyboard has flexible hinges to enable dual-angle viewing, and its amusingly-named Pogo pin eliminates the need for pairing or charging separately. You can also load up on a nifty Bluetooth pen and multi-port adapter (HDMI, USB type A& C), but they will cost you extra (prices tbc).
When can I try one for myself?
The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is available to buy as of this month.
