Samsung Expands Computing Portfolio with Galaxy Book Flex Alpha

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced Galaxy Book Flex α (alpha), a new variant of Galaxy Book Flex that offers long-lasting battery, immersive QLED display, and exquisite design features at a competitive price-point. Today's consumers are constantly striving to blend their personal and work lives - and everything in between. Galaxy Book Flex α is the latest installment in Samsung's new line of Galaxy Computing devices, which combine the productivity and premium experience of a laptop with the mobility and flexibility of a smartphone.

"We all have different routines, and we need technology that works the way we work, and with our new Galaxy Computing line, we're giving consumers the ability to choose a PC that meets their unique needs," said Alanna Cotton, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Samsung Electronics America. "Galaxy Book Flex α is a stellar new variant of the Galaxy Computing line, offering many of the best design, hardware, and display features at an accessible price-point."
With Galaxy Book Flex α's brilliant QLED display and ultra-thin bezel, you get the gold standard in televisions directly on your laptop, so that every viewing experience is vivid and true-to-life. Capable of producing over one billion colors, QLED makes streaming your favorite content more immersive than ever before. The stylish 2-in-1 PC also delivers a super-bright display with max 600-nit capacity so you can enjoy the screen's 100% color volume and vibrant picture in any lighting.

Galaxy Book α offers Active Pen support for those days when productivity needs to be high, and multitasking is imperative. To maintain this level of efficiency, Galaxy Book α offers 17.5-hour battery, so you don't have to build your daily schedule around outlet availability. When charging does become a necessity, its Fast Charge feature allows you to top off your battery in a pinch when you've got somewhere to be.

Complementary to the recently unveiled Galaxy Book Flex, Galaxy Book Flex α is a thin and light 2-in-1 PC, weighing 1.19 kg, making it portable enough to take on life's projects wherever you go. Just 13.9 mm thick, Galaxy Book Flex α can fit into any bag with ease, and still leave room for whatever else you need to get through the day. Featuring sharp, diamond-cut edges and a crisp, durable aluminium frame, this PC is built to withstand typical wear and tear while maintaining its aesthetic look.

Under the hood, Galaxy Book Flex α features superior hardware, including a 10th generation Intel Core Processor, which means no lag—just seamless streaming and creating. Its built-in biometric credentialing provides peace-of-mind, no matter how far life takes you from home.
Availability

Galaxy Book Flex α will be available in Royal Silver in the United States in the first half of 2020, starting at $829.99.

That is one set of nice specs, and a very decent price, I do reckon there's at least a 4c8t in there. Article isn't very clear on this unfortunately.

I like how they didn't go overboard on display res. And it looks very clean.

Looks like it'll be using an Intel i7-10510U/Y processor (14nm) if the specs list down UHD graphics.

Trying to compete with Apple must be painful.
These things don't sell well. The price is too high and most buyers get most of their work done on their smartphone.
It's not as easy as selling someone a Macbook and a iPhone.

Actually, Samsung's notebooks are pretty good and highly regarded by businessmen. They're not selling like macbooks do, but they're better than many others.
As for doing work on a smartphone, sure. If your job is to whatsapp/snapchat/email all day long.

Could have been interesting except for the crap 16:9 screen ratio. Much prefer the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 just shown at CES. Death to 16:9.

What do you mean? I mean, I'm using two 16:10 monitors atm because I hate 16:9, but 16:9 is pretty much standard these days. If anything, I'd stay away from FHD crammed within 13". But then again, I stay away from any 13" notebook anyway :D

It's a Samsung so it will be DOA right after warranty.

Pretty obvious what I mean and you said you hate 16:9 yourself. Luckily more and more makers are slowly starting to offer 16:10 again, and it should never have gone away. I will never buy another 16:9 laptop, now we have options.

Well, there's difference between you and me hating 16:9 and the ratio being crap. It's a standard these days and that's it.
I'm just thankful 1366x768 is almost extinct these days ;)

I'm also curious where have you seen 16:10 making a comeback, many new displays I'm looking at are 21:9 or worse. Or were you talking strictly about laptops?
