Samsung TabPro S review

 

The TabPro S is a great Windows tablet, but a poor Windows 2-in-1 PC.

The issue with the TabPro S is one that’s easily boiled down to a simple point. Samsung designed a mobile device, and then installed Windows on it. From the hard drive performance, to the peripheral attachments, to the awkward display, the Galaxy would...

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S review: Fantastic display, reasonable price, more business capable than an iPad Pro

 

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S offers more than the iPad Pro at a lower price. If you want a device for more tablet and entertainment usage, then you can save a bit of money and pick the TabPro S over the Surface Pro 4. It's great to see Samsung bringing...

Fabulous Super AMOLED display ; Long battery life ; Full Windows 10 OS with solid performance ; Lightweight and sturdy design ; Keyboard accessory included ; Cool Galaxy smartphone integration

No microSD card slot for storage expansion ; Limited screen angles with keyboard cover ; Single USB Type-C port

Samsung's Galaxy TabPro S is more than just a Surface knockoff

 

The Galaxy TabPro S is the latest Surface Pro competitor: a tablet with a click-in keyboard that's powerful enough to potentially replace a laptop. As a first-generation product, it excels in tablet mode, offering both a thin design and long battery...

Exceptionally thin and light ; Longer battery life versus its competitors ; First device in its class with a Super AMOLED screen ; Touchpad on the keyboard cover works well

Included keyboard is cramped ; Screen angle isn't adjustable when the tablet is docked ; Performance is fine for everyday use, but occasionally sluggish ; Pen not available at launch

I don't know that the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is necessarily better than the Surface Pro 4: It isn't offered in any comparably powerful configurations, the keyboard isn't as easy to type on, the screen angle isn't adjustable when propped up, and the...

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S review

 

You can't help but hear about tablets that are designed to replace your laptop. Microsoft and Apple have been pouring tons of effort and marketing into the Surface Pro and iPad Pro, two devices...

Sleek and portable design ; Compact keyboard case that works well ; Bright, sharp display

4GB of RAM is not enough ; Battery life not as good as advertised ; Single USB Type-C port can be limiting

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S review: This Surface Pro clone is drop-dead gorgeous

 

If technology were people, Samsung's Galaxy TabPro S would clearly be a super model: It's willowy thin, extremely lightweight, and has a jaw-dropping OLED screen.

Sumptuous OLED panel ; Thinnest 12-inch Windows tablet we've seen ; Fantastic battery life when playing movies

Keys feel loose ; No included USB Type A-to-USB Type C dongle ; Pen technology not yet available for testing

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S review

 

When it debuted in March 2016, the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S packed more value into a Windows tablet for $899, £899 or AU$1,499 than any other contender. Fast-forward to November 2016 and it looks just as good.

Samsung wisely includes a keyboard cover in the box. Battery life is excellent, and the AMOLED display is better than the screens in much more expensive systems.

The single configuration is stuck with a sluggish Core M processor, and the keyboard cover allows only two screen angles, neither of which may be right for you.

Samsung builds a lot of value into the Galaxy TabPro S, including a keyboard cover and advanced display in a very slim Windows tablet.

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S Review: Compromised for Mobility

 

Samsung's challenge: create a high-end Windows 10 2-in-1 to compete with the Surface Pro 4. The Galaxy TabPro S represents its first and best shot. Does this premium Win 10 convertible deliver?

Stunning display ; Slick build and design ; Keyboard included ; Long battery life

Lone USB Type-C input for charging and accessories ; Keyboard travel too shallow

Device mobility requires functional compromise. For the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S, that compromise comes in the form of a lone USB Type-C port for charging and everything else, and an uncomfortable keyboard. Both are a nuisance we can live with if...

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S Review

 

The Samsung TabPro S tries to do two things really well: immersive entertainment and effortless productivity. This 2-in-1 rocks at the first thing and does moderately well with the second. Users of this $899 Surface Pro 4 foe will enjoy its lightweight...

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S

 

Samsung aims squarely at the Microsoft Surface Pro with its Galaxy TabPro S, a super-slim, eye-catching 12-inch Windows 10 tablet. But its performance and features don't quite justify the price.

Slim and lightweight. Polished metal and glass design. Colorful Super AMOLED screen. Best-in-class battery life. Bundled keyboard cover.

Intel Core m3 processor can't match the performance Core m7 and Core i5 CPUs in competing systems. One port, and it's USB-C with no Thunderbolt compatibility. No bundled USB-C adapter. Lacks a stylus and expansion slots.

Conclusions The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is a thin and stylish slate tablet, with a vivid Super AMOLED screen (the first we've seen on a Windows tablet) and top-notch battery life. Like the HP Spectre x2, it comes with a keyboard, but lacks the HP...

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S review: A solid 12″ Windows 2-in-1

 

The Galaxy TabPro S offers a fantastic screen and decent battery life in a thin, lightweight package.

Fantastic screen, performs well as laptop or tablet. Decent battery life

Only one USB-C port. Smaller left shift key on the keyboard to duplicate the back slash/straight slash key unnecessary

If you're looking for a Windows 10 tablet with a detachable keyboard, the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S offers an affordable option without sacrificing performance. The fantastic screen, light weight, and decent battery life on the TabPro S definitely make...
