This is possible thanks to the reduction of frames that has benefited the screen. This reduction in the space used has allowed a 15-inch model to arrive and to do so with a measured size.We therefore have two models, 13-inch and 15-inch.
On the display side, this remains at 1080p and will continue to support the Pen. This sits in the notebook chassis and has improved in terms of handling sensitivity.
Inside the Korean firm has improved its equipment with the new eighth-generation Intel processors Regarding the Connectivity includes three USB-C ports (two of them Thunderbolt 3), a jack 3.5 headphone jack and a microSD card reader. We miss the HDMI port.
This _hardware_ combination enables, according to Samsung, up to 15 hours of battery life. The sound is confirmed by two speakers signed by AKG with the new ThunderAmp smart amplifier technology.
As for price and availability, we will have to wait for CES 2019 to be held in Las Vegas, where its presentation will take place official, for all the details.
