Samsung announced the Galaxy TabPro S tablet in early January in its pre-CES press conference. The device is the result of a partnership with Microsoft, which created a business-minded tablet with a 12-inch Super AMOLED display and powered by Windows 10 for both touchscreen and keyboard modes.
The tablet has finally been released to the market, but only for European customers.
The Galaxy TabPro S can be purchased through the official online store of Samsung in the Netherlands, in addition to the United Kingdom and Denmark versions of Amazon, among other retailers.
Oddly, the Galaxy TabPro S is still on preorder in Samsung's United Kingdom website, despite stocks already available in Amazon UK.
The price of the Wi-Fi 128 GB SSD version of the device with Windows 10 Home pre-installed is €999, which is equivalent to about $1,100. The same device with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed is sold for €1,099, or about $1,210. For a TabPro S with Windows 10 Pro and LTE capabilities, the price goes up to €1,199, which is equivalent to about $1,320. There is no option to order a Windows 10 Home Galaxy TabPro S with LTE.
Bundled with the device is a full-sized keyboard cover with a flexible hinge and touchpad.
The Galaxy TabPro S is a powerful device, packing a 2.2 GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor with 4 GB of RAM. The device also packs 5-megapixel cameras at both the front and in the back, with a 5,200 mAh battery.
For potential customers in the United States, the wait continues. The official page of the Galaxy TabPro S in the U.S. version of Samsung's website only currently features an invitation to sign up for updates to the device. For those that could not wait, there is always the option to purchase the Galaxy TabPro S through European channels and then have it shipped to the United States, though that would entail additional costs.
In addition, the price of the device once it launches in the United States has not been confirmed.
