Reviews

User Reviews 1 User Reviews I felt it takes up less desk space than a Surface Pro and is more lap-friendly with the flat bottom. The display is bright and vibrant. Battery life was closer to 6 hours with real-world mixed usage rather than the 10.5 hours claimed.
- The Verge
User Reviews 2 We found the slim and light design to be very portable with a surprisingly good keyboard case included. The AMOLED display is beautiful and vibrant with excellent color accuracy. Battery life exceeded expectations, routinely getting over 8 hours on a charge.
- MobileTechReview
User Reviews 3 I found the keyboard case allows for a flexible stand mode and wide viewing angles. The tablet itself is very light at just 1.53 lbs, while still packing decent performance from the Core m3 CPU.

Samsung has released their latest Windows tablet, the Galaxy TabPro S

This lightweight 2-in-1 device comes with a detachable keyboard case and aims to compete with Microsoft's Surface Pro.

The TabPro S impresses with its 12-inch Super AMOLED screen, which testers found bright and vibrant with accurate colors. 

Its high 1440p resolution delivers sharp images and video. The whole package weighs just 1.53 lbs for easy portability.

Reviewers were surprised by the excellent keyboard case included. Its full-sized keys allow fluid typing, while the responsive trackpad enables precise cursor control. 

The case can fold into different stand arrangements to optimize viewing angles as well.

Performance suits basic productivity workloads. The Core m3 processor and 4GB RAM run Office apps and lightweight photo editing smoothly. 

But the TabPro S lags for intensive gaming or media creation apps.

Battery life delivers over 8 hours of mixed usage, surpassing the advertised 10.5 hours

The USB-C port charges rapidly but limits wired connectivity without dongles. Bluetooth 4.1 and AC Wi-Fi maintain wireless links.

Useful features like Samsung Flow sync notifications from Galaxy phones. 

The phone's fingerprint sensor can also unlock the tablet. Photos transfer directly between devices via SideSync.

Downsides include RAM that couldn't always keep browser tabs loaded in memory. 

Tablet accessories like the SPen are sold separately. And direct sunlight hampers screen visibility at times.

Overall the Galaxy TabPro S provides a portable Windows 10 tablet with strong display, keyboard, and battery life. 

While connectivity and performance have limitations, it still suits secondary travel use or undemanding primary needs. 

The competitive pricing adds to its value for shoppers wanting a thin-and-light 2-in-1.
