Porsche Design outs Surface Book competitor

Looking for a stylish, premium Surface Book competitor? Porsche Design outs a new 2-in-1 at Mobile World Congress that bears a lot of similarities to Microsoft’s own 2-in-1. It comes with its own digital stylus that you can stick to the right side of the device magnetically. It’s detachable like the Surface Book. But unlike it, the screen on the Porsche Design Book One can rotate 360 degrees.

This device has a 13.3-inch touch QHD display and runs on an Intel Core i7 processor, Windows 10 Pro, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD storage. It comes with a 5-megapixel camera with an infrared sensor to support Windows Hello login. It has two USB-C ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 support. The Book One also comes with a precision touchpad and backlit keyboard. It’ll set you back a hefty US$2,495 (around CA$3,300) and is expected  come to the US in April.

CES 2016: Samsung pivots its tablet game to Windows 10 with the TabPro S

Samsung unveiled a new tablet at CES but this one is running Windows 10. The TabPro S is the South Korean giant's dog in the exciting 2-in-1 fight, and answer to Microsoft's Surface line of devices.

Saying that this is "the best of a tablet and a laptop," Samsung has outfitted the TabPro S with a 12-inch AMOLED display, Intel Core M processor, 10-hour battery, 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.

This tablet sports a USB Type-C port for charging and connectivity. Unlike most 2-in-1 tablet makers Samsung will gracefully include the skinny magnetic keyboard case in the package. There's a 4G-LTE variant as well. Pricing and availability are still unknown.
