While this may be Samsung's first try at making a hybrid 2-in-1, it doesn't feel like it. The TabPro S does almost everything that Microsoft's Surface 4 Pro does better, and while the Korean manufacturer's offering doesn't extend beyond offering Intel's Core M processor (the Surface 4 Pro has more...

2016 is rapidly turning into the year of the convertible. Over the past four months we've seen tablet-come-laptops from tech powerhouses such as Apple, with its 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and new players in the market such as Huawei, with it sleek-looking MateBook .

Amazing screen; Sleek; portable design; All day battery life

Lack of ports is a faff; Performance could be better

This hybrid is a decent tablet, but a mangled laptop

Thin; Dazzling screen; USB-C

No other ports besides USB-C; Dreadful keyboard-screen cover; Stylus not included as standard

Uncompromising design with compromised raw power and plug sockets make for a tasty vision of the laptop future.

Super-punchy AMOLED screen; Good battery life; Laptop-scale keyboard; Windows 10 flexibility

Expensive in the price:performance stakes; Keyboard is a bit shallow; Ultra-limited connectivity is not handy

Samsung's latest attempt at a a laptop and tablet in one device is the Galaxy TabPro S. See what we make of it in our full review after it was premiered at CES 2016.

It seems like 2-in-1 hybrids are more like two-a-penny hybrids at the moment – we reviewed both the Dell XPS 12 and HP Spectre x2 last month – but the Galaxy TabPro S offers something different.

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S introduced an impressive world-class design that still leads the pack today. It competes with the Huawei Matebook which also has an excellent industrial design.

So far, so good, one month
