Samsung's first Galaxy-branded Windows device sports an impressive Super AMOLED screen and excellent battery life. But if you value physical ports and a great typing experience, better 2-in-1 options are available.

Attractive Super AMOLED display; Impressively thin and light; Excellent battery life; Keyboard included; USB Type-C charging

Keyboard isn't backlit; Not as powerful or configurable as Microsoft's Surface Pro 4; Active stylus costs extra; USB Type-C is the only port

Samsung has played in the tablet space for a long time and even longer in the world of Windows laptops. Now, with the Galaxy TabPro S, the South Korean electronics giant has introduced a Surface Pro 4 rival that also aims to take down the iPad Pro with the full-fat power of Windows 10 .

The TabPro S offers a vibrant Super AMOLED display and decent performance for less than a grand, with the best battery life of any detachable we've tested this year. However, this hybrid is a better tablet than it is a laptop, because of its shallow keyboard and a display that can wobble in your...

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 that are supposed to be productivity machines in addition to tablets.

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

The Galaxy TabPro S is a beautiful device. In a way, it reminds me of other tablets Samsung has made in the past, but looks and feels more modern. The tablet has its pros, but also has its cons. Here's what I've noticed after a week using this device.

Fantastic battery life; Beautiful screen; Practically no bloatware

Odd keyboard spacing; Only two standing positions; Protruding back camera

Mar 28 2016 - Tablets being used as productivity tools has not really caught on too well with consumers. Much of this has to do with the high cost or the lack of support for traditional software.

I was looking for a Windows tablet but wasn't keen to buy a Surface. Having had a Samsung tablet before was excited to see what this could do. PROS: nice design, good performance, great display CONS: slightly heavier than expected (but OK).

I have purchase 3 Samsung Tablets in the recent 3 years and this is diffidently the best experience from Samsung. The tablet feels solid and lacks very little. I'm used to the android format and operating system. Still learning the benefits of Windows over Android.

Purchase 2 weeks ago and the tablet performs very well; The Intel graphics are great and fast for a tablet; The Intel M3 process is fast; I wish it would have been an I3 or I5; The screen resolution is the best in its class.

The windows selection of apps is abysmal; That is not Samsung's fault; The operating system 10,1 is taking a little longer to learn then I initially thought it would; Battery life could be a little better; No sd smart card slot; Design to be living on the cloud.

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.

The Galaxy TabPro S is a decent first attempt at a 2-in-1 hybrid from Samsung, but it's not without its flaws
