On the other hand Samsung Galaxy Book, a 2-in-1 laptop-cum-tablet series comes in two full HD display sizes—10.6-inch TFT LCD and another 12.0-inch super AMOLED.

The smaller 10.6-inch houses 2.6Ghz dual-core seventh generation Intel Core m3 CPU with 3GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage, 5MP front and a 30.4W battery with fast charging capability and can keep the device running for close to 10 hours.

The bigger 12.0-inch Galaxy Book comes with superior 3.1GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 CPU backed by 4GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, 13MP primary camera with 4K video recording, 5MP front camera and a 39.04W battery with fast charging capability and can keep the device running for up to 10.5 hours.

Both the Galaxy Book models support S Pen and users can make use of Samsung Notes, which consolidates the S Pen's note-taking, drawing and image-management capabilities in one simple application, as well as Air Command functions such as Smart Select, which now lets users create, save and share their own animated GIFs.

Another key aspect of Samsung's new Galaxy Tab S3 and the Galaxy Book is that they boast Samsung Flow, that makes working on the go seamless. For a safe and secure login, Samsung Flow uses biometric authentication to log-in and can wirelessly tether compatible devices to transfer documents from a mobile device to a tablet (or Galaxy Book). It also syncs message notifications so users never miss an important text message whether they're using a smartphone or their tablet.
