When Microsoft first released the Surface several years ago, it was pretty clear that the company was on to something. It wasn't a perfect device, but the portability and flexibility of the design – primarily a tablet but capable of transforming into a semi-functional laptop through a keyboard cover...

Slim, light, and attractive build; AMOLED displays of this size are always a treat; Very respectable battery life; Keyboard cover is included in the price

The keyboard cover, a crucial part of the package, is substandard due to its limited angles and cheap construction; USB-C can be restrictive; No option to buy a more powerful version

The AMOLED screen on the Galaxy TabPro S is the key feature here. It's bright and punchy and if you're careful you can get impressive efficiency from it. Style plays a big role too.

stylish; compact design; good keyboard included; fast SSD; good cameras; impressive screen; great battery life

screen can be a power drain at times; one USB-C port for data and charging; some CPU throttling under heavy load

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

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

Extremely thin and light; Keyboard accessory is no extra charge; Wide display color gamut and high contrast ratio; Decent battery life

Display suffers poor viewing angles; Keyboard is cramped; Very limited connectivity

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

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.

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).
