“Today’s consumers and professionals are dynamic and highly mobile, and they demand tablets and laptops to use at the office, at home, or on the go, such as the TabPro S,” said Gary Riding, senior vice president, product marketing at Samsung Electronics America. “Through our longstanding strategic partnerships with Intel and Microsoft, our products deliver power and functionality – all in a beautifully designed device.”

For professionals in a number of industries, Windows 10 Professional meets the Galaxy experience with the TabPro S. Professionals can enjoy the productivity features and functionality of the Windows 10 operating system with the look and feel of Samsung’s Galaxy devices to support demanding mobile workforces in financial services, healthcare, retail and more. Windows 10 Professional also ensures compatibility with existing IT infrastructures.

“People today want devices that are thin, light, and responsive,” said Navin Shenoy, corporate vice president in the Client Computing Group and general manager of mobility client platforms at Intel Corporation. “The Notebook 9 series and the Intel® Core™ m3 powered Galaxy TabPro S are sleek, beautiful devices that deliver the performance people expect from Intel. We’re excited about working with Samsung to demonstrate that there has never been a better time to buy a computer.”

In addition to the Galaxy TabPro S, Samsung’s Windows 10 portfolio includes the recently released Notebook 9 13-inch and Notebook 9 15-inch – two new ultra-lightweight laptops in Samsung’s award-winning Notebook 9 line. They are available starting at $999.99 and $1,199.99, respectively. The new 13-inch and 15-inch Notebook 9 laptops, as well as the Notebook 9 pro and Notebook 9 spin, offer sleek, durable designs with vibrant displays and powerful functionality, ideal for today’s mobile users.

Notebook 9 highlights include:

  • Thin, light and powerful: Both new Notebook 9s are engineered from aluminum and magnesium alloy for an incredibly light build. At only 1.9 pounds, the 13-inch notebook is the lightest in its class, while the 15-inch weighs less than 2.9 pounds. Whether on a flight or traveling between business meetings, the Notebook 9 won’t weigh users down.

    The Notebook 9 is also efficient, with an ultra-fast 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 or i7 processor, combined with a solid state drive.

  • Stunning displays: The devices feature an immersive Full HD LED backlighting display with wide viewing angles, and a 180-degree hinge for enhanced usability and content sharing. The unique low-reflective feature ensures brilliant viewing – even in midday sunlight or dimly lit rooms. The micro-thin bezel on the 15-inch model maximizes the display, allowing for even more vibrant screen real estate without adding bulk to the overall build.
