Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S WiFi (8GB + 256GB) is an ultra-slim 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet featuring a vibrant 12-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2160 x 1440 resolution. This specific configuration upgrades the standard model to 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, paired with a power-efficient, fanless Intel Core m3-6Y30 processor for silent operation. Key advantages include its exceptionally lightweight 693g design, 6.3mm thickness, and a bundled magnetic keyboard cover, along with a 5,200mAh battery that supports fast charging and delivers up to 10.5 hours of use. However, notable drawbacks include its limited connectivity with only a single USB-C port, a keyboard with shallow key travel that only supports two viewing angles, and the lack of a microSD slot for storage expansion.

Galaxy TabPro S: la recensione del primo 2-in-1 Windows 10 di Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is reviewed as a highly portable 12-inch, 2-in-1 Windows 10 device, featuring a 6.3mm thick chassis weighing 693 grams, designed as a premium alternative to the Surface Pro 4. Key strengths include a vibrant Super AMOLED display with 2160x1440 resolution and an included magnetic keyboard cover that offers a comfortable, responsive typing experience. However, the device is limited by a single USB-C port, a non-backlit keyboard with restricted viewing angles, and a fanless Core m3 processor designed for basic tasks rather than intense multitasking.

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S in prova: una macchina versatile ma con qualche limite

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is a 12-inch Windows 10 tablet distinguished by its ultra-thin 6.3mm design and a vibrant Super AMOLED display. A key pro is the inclusion of the keyboard folio, enhancing value compared to competitors. However, it faces cons with its single USB-C port, limited port selection, and a keyboard with only two fixed, somewhat unstable viewing angles. Equipped with a fanless Intel Core m3 processor and 4GB of RAM, it is ideal for light tasks but not heavy editing, with real-world battery life averaging roughly 6 to 7 hours.

La sfida dei 2-in-1: Galaxy TabPro s vs Surface Pro 4

The TVTech review highlights the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S as a lighter, media-focused alternative to the Surface Pro 4, featuring a superior 12-inch Super AMOLED display, included keyboard cover, and longer battery life. However, the Samsung is limited by a single USB-C port, a non-backlit keyboard, and lower-tier Core M processors, making it less productive than the Surface. Ultimately, the Surface Pro 4 is presented as the superior "laptop replacement" with better versatility, while the TabPro S excels in portability.

Review: Samsung Galaxy TabPro S - Aantrekkelijk geprijsd

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is a 12-inch Windows 2-in-1 featuring a standout Super AMOLED display, premium thin-and-light design (6.3mm), and a bundled keyboard cover, positioning it as a highly portable alternative to the Surface Pro 4. Performance is driven by an Intel Core m3 processor suitable for light productivity and media consumption, supported by solid build quality. However, the device's focus on portability results in significant limitations, including only a single USB-C port for charging and data, requiring adapters for peripherals. Furthermore, the fanless processor lacks the power for demanding tasks, and the included keyboard cover offers limited functionality with only two, non-backlit viewing angles. Key pros highlighted in the Techzine.nl review include the excellent screen, mobility, and value-added keyboard, while cons focus on limited I/O, modest performance, and average battery life compared to marketing claims. Overall, the device is considered a stylish, mobile companion rather than a primary workstation.

Review: Samsung Galaxy TabPro S

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is a highly portable 12-inch Windows 10 tablet featuring a vibrant Super AMOLED screen and a design thinner than many competitors. It distinguishes itself by including a magnetic keyboard cover, aiming to bridge the gap between media consumption and productivity. However, it is limited by a single USB-C port and a fanless Intel Core m3 processor that, while silent, struggles with heavy workloads. The included keyboard offers a snappy typing experience but is described as having shallow travel and poor stability on a lap, making the device better suited for table-top use. Despite this, the TabPro S excels in battery efficiency, offering 8–11 hours of usage, and provides a premium display experience. In summary, the tablet's pros are its ultra-slim design, excellent screen, and bundled keyboard. Its cons include limited, light-use performance, a lack of ports for peripherals, and a keyboard that does not work well on a lap. For more details, visit PCMag UK.

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is a 12-inch, 2160x1440 Super AMOLED 2-in-1, highlighting extreme portability at just 6.3mm thin and including a keyboard cover, though reviewers noted limited viewing angles and shallow key travel. The fanless Intel Core m3-6Y30 processor and 4GB RAM offer adequate performance for general tasks alongside solid battery life, yet the design limits connectivity to a single USB-C port. While praising the vibrant display and NFC capabilities, the review notes the absence of a microSD slot and a separate, costly stylus as key drawbacks.

Gebruikersreview: Samsung Galaxy TabPro S WiFi vs Surface Pro 4

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is highlighted as a remarkably slim and portable Windows 10 tablet featuring a solid, premium-feeling construction and an included keyboard case that offers a surprisingly good typing experience. A key highlight is the 12-inch Super AMOLED display, praised for its outstanding image quality, vibrant colors, and deep blacks. The fanless Intel Core m3 processor provides snappy performance for daily tasks, complemented by decent battery life and fast-charging capabilities. However, the review outlines significant drawbacks, particularly the keyboard case, which only supports two fixed viewing angles and feels unstable for lap use. Connectivity is limited to a single USB-C port, and the absence of a microSD card slot restricts storage expansion. Furthermore, the included 1-meter charging cable is criticized for being too short, limiting convenience. Overall, the device serves as a stylish, highly portable media and light productivity machine, but its limitations in ergonomics and connectivity may hinder its use as a primary work laptop.
