Samsung has recently unveiled the new generation of its Notebook 9 series. The company revealed a new line of laptops and a 2-in1 device that will be launched on the market next year.
The tablet-notebook hybrid is called the Notebook 9 Pen. It is a 2-in-1 computer that is expected to compete with similar devices from known brand names like the Microsoft Surface computers or Apple's MacBook. It comes with a battery-independent stylus called the S Pen.
The Notebook 9 Pen is run by an 8th Generation Core i7 CPU. It also has 16 GB of random access memory (RAM) and boasts a solid-state drive (SSD) storage capacity of 512 GB. The 13.3-inch screen is capped at a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels.
Samsung also utilizes their trademarked material "Metal12" in the design of the tablet. The company claimed that this allows the Samsung Notebook 9 Pen to be both durable and lightweight. The device weighs just about 2.2 pounds.
The company put special attention to the way the stylus works. The S Pen runs without batteries and has a 0.7-millimeter tip that can recognize 4,096 pressure points. It also has tilt detection which makes for a "natural writing and drawing experience."
Meanwhile, the regular Notebook 9 laptops have screen sizes that range from 13.3 to 15 inches, packing the same 1920 by 1080 pixels of resolution. They share processor and RAM specifications with the Notebook 9 Pen, but have SSD storage options of up to 1 terabyte. There is also an option to include an Nvidia MX150 discrete graphics card to the 15-inch model.
As for power and endurance, Samsung installs a 75-watt Hexacell battery for each model. The company claims that this is the "largest and most powerful" battery that they put inside their notebooks. This long-lasting power cell also supports fast charging.
