Samsung Galaxy Book Flex, Galaxy Book Ion are here
During the annual Samsung Developers Conference, the company took the wraps off two new Windows laptops: the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex and the Galaxy Book Ion. The Flex is a convertible laptop with a 360-degree hinge which turns it into a tablet, while the Ion is a traditional clamshell design.
Both laptops are pretty powerful, with the latest tenth-generation Intel processors, Wi-Fi 6 support, QLED displays, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of internal solid-state storage. They are also both lookers, with sleek designs and a Royal Blue color palette.
The Galaxy Book Flex, though, is the most interesting of the pair. Along with its almost-all-blue keyboard and chassis, the device features a built-in Bluetooth S Pen, the same you’d find in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 smartphone. That means you can use gesture controls on the S Pen to conduct a PowerPoint presentation, for example.

Since the Flex can convert into a tablet-like interface, the S Pen will be useful for people who like to create digital art on their laptops. Unfortunately, the display resolution of all the laptops maxes out at Full HD+, or 1,920 x 1,080. A 4K model would be a nice upgrade, but you can’t have it all.
Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Book Ion is missing the S Pen but is designed more for business professionals. It’s ultra-thin at just 12.9mm thick (for the entry-level model) but still packs in a ton of power.

Both laptops also feature a fingerprint sensor built-into the keyboard. The Galaxy Book Ion shows it loud-and-clear with its blue colorway.
The Samsung Galaxy Book Ion and Galaxy Book Flex both will be available in 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch models. Samsung didn’t reveal pricing for either device but did say they would be available in select markets by December of this year.
