A new hybrid tablet is set to enter the market as Samsung will reportedly release the Galaxy TabPro S next week. Pre-orders for the upcoming 2-in-1 are now live.
The Galaxy TabPro S is now listed for pre-order on the Samsung U.K. website, with a March 16 ship-out date. However, it seems that the new slate has a staggered release date, as GSM Arena observed that some parts of Europe already have the tablet hybrid in stock. According to the industry follower, Amazon U.K. and Amazon DE, as well as Samsung Netherlands, already listed the Galaxy TabPro S as available.
As a pre-order in the U.K., the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S has options for a Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro pre-installed, and buyers can choose between a 128GB or a 256GB SSD variant. Aside from the two storage versions, fans can also pick out either a 4G, LTE or Wi-Fi only base model.
Prices also vary according to versions. The base Wi-Fi only version with 128 GB of internal storage and Windows 10 Home OS has a price tag of €999, with an extra €100 if upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, or €200 for both OS and LTE variant upgrades.
The pre-order also comes bundled with a full-sized keyboard cover, complete with a touch pad and a flexible hinge. Fans who want to take advantage of the whole set-up can also get the official Bluetooth Pen and the USB/HDMI port hub.
According to Breathecast, the Galaxy TabPro S drew mixed reactions when it was unveiled at this year's Consumer Electonics Show. While fans lauded the new slate's 5,200 mAh battery, which can give up to 11 hours of continuous use, some observers said that the absence of a full-size USB port is a drawback. But this drawback made possible a slimmer design as the Galaxy TabPro S is only 6.3-mm thick.
