The TabPro S marked the first device in the Samsung Galaxy series to run Microsoft Windows, making it a departure from the traditionally Android-powered Galaxy lineup and marked the end of the Samsung Ativ brand.

[2] Unveiled at Consumer Electronics Show 2016, alongside Samsung Notebook 9,[3] the TabPro S was released on March 18, 2016.

It is a folio keyboard, which means it can be in two different positions depending how the stand is set up.

When closed, it has a leather-like texture to protect from normal wear and tear when traveling.

[4] Although the Samsung Galaxy Book was unveiled at MWC 2017, and features several improvements over the TabPro S model, it is not considered a direct successor.
