Galaxy TabPro S – Optimized for efficiency and productivity

The Galaxy TabPro S is equipped with a 2.2GHz dual-core Intel processor – the latest generation Intel Core M processor. It has a fanless design, meaning it is quiet. And with 4.5W of power consumption, it won’t drain the battery. Overall, it is a powerful processor that can handle anything and maximizes performance and power efficiency.

By running Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system, the Galaxy TabPro S offers full PC functionality on the go. You have all the features Windows 10 has to offer, in a sleek and easy to carry design. Speaking about that, the TabPro S weighs less than 700 grams, meaning you can easily carry it with you all day long. And with a generous 5,200mAh battery, you can keep using the TabPro S all day long, without having to go look for a charger.

For enhanced usability, Samsung bundled the TabPro S tablet with a full-sized keyboard cover. This cover has a flexible hinge for optimal, dual-angle viewing. It also has a Pogo pin that eliminates the need for pairing or charging separately.



For even more usability, there’s a multi-port adapter (HDMI, USB Type A & C) and Bluetooth Pen that will be available for purchase separately.

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S will be available globally beginning in February 2016. Pricing has not been announced as of writing this. I’ll update the article once Samsung reveals the pricing.

UPDATE: the Galaxy TabPro S is priced at $899.99.
