Samsung’s new Galaxy Book laptops have wireless charging touchpads
It’s a good time to be someone who does most of their work on a laptop.
Just a couple of weeks after Google unveiled the excellent Pixelbook Go, Samsung announced two new laptops at its annual developer conference: the Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy Book Ion.
The Galaxy Book Ion is a traditional laptop that comes in both 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch screen sizes, with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. The coolest new feature is Wireless PowerShare on the touchpad, which is a fancy way of saying the laptop’s touchpad can charge Qi-compatible devices like phones and Galaxy Buds.
The same goes for the Galaxy Book Flex, which is Samsung’s new 2-in-1 laptop. You can turn it all the way on its hinge to make it a tablet, complete with S Pen support for more creatively oriented customers. Both laptops run on 10th generation Intel Core processors.
Interestingly, Samsung didn’t give a specific launch date or prices for either machine. They’re apparently both launching in “select markets” in December, but what those markets are remains a mystery. The same goes for the pricing for either model.
Still, these both look to be totally serviceable laptops for professionals if they’re priced fairly. Up to 1TB of internal storage gives them a big advantage over something like a Pixelbook Go, but not if they’re horribly expensive.
