Samsung Galaxy TabPro S
Samsung has released the Galaxy TabPro S Gold Edition. A device suitable both for
business users and regular consumers, the tablet boasts a detachable keyboard
and weights only 1.53 pounds, making it light and portable.
Specs-wise, the TabPro S features a 12-inch Super
AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. It's powered by an Intel Core M3
6Y30 chipset with its processor clocked to a maximum of 2.20 GHz and an Intel HD
Graphics 615 unit handling visuals. There are 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD
storage on board, and the device runs on a 5200 mAh battery.
Two 5MP cameras adorn the front and back panel, and
there's a single USB 3.1 Type-C port for connectivity and charging. The port
can be enhanced with a multiport accessory that adds an additional HDMI port
and a USB Type-A port for attaching external devices.
The base model costs US$ 1000, making it a reasonable
choice next to a US$ 900 base model Surface Pro 4 with 4 GB of RAM and an Intel
Core i3 chipset. However, there's no stylus in the bundle. The TabPro Pen is
sold separately for US$ 50.
The detachable keyboard is included in the price,
though, and features an integrated touchpad, along with a Pogo pin connector
that lets the keyboard connet to the tablet without a pairing process or the
need for charging. The accessory also comes with a flexible hinge, letting
users position the screen as they see fit.
