Pre-orders begin on April 21, with the LTE model being sold at Verizon and the two Wi-Fi models selling on Samsung’s web site and “select retailers.” The Galaxy Book will officially launch on May 21 and come in silver, though Best Buy will have an exclusive black version. Both models come with an S Pen stylus and a keyboard cover. The latter is an advantage over Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4, which requires you to pay extra for a keyboard. The base model of the Surface also doesn’t come with a stylus.

The 10-inch version uses a lesser Intel Core m3 CPU and a standard FHD display. It has 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of eMMC storage. Both options support microSD cards to bump your storage by an extra 256GB. Samsung includes software called Galaxy Flow specifically for owners of its Samsung Galaxy smartphones. They’ll be able to sync their devices’ notifications and easily transfer files. We’ll have a full review when the Galaxy Book shows up in our labs. Photo Credit: Samsung
