Just this week, we got hands-on time with the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S, one of the latest Windows 10 devices to come to market, following its official unveiling by Samsung at CES 2016.
However, no pricing details have yet been made available - at least, not officially. According to leaked information from Germany, the device will start there at €999.

We’ve compared the entry-level models of the Galaxy TabPro S and Microsoft"s Surface Pro 4 - and, given that both tablets will be sold as premium-class devices, the only noticeable advantage the Surface has is the inclusion of Windows 10 Pro (over Home on the TabPro S). The Galaxy has an advantage in including a keyboard cover with the device - Microsoft charges an extra €149.99 for its Type Cover accessory - as well as offering a 4G LTE option, which the Surface Pro 4 lacks.
Two additional TabPro S models will be available: the first with Windows 10 Pro and Wi-Fi connectivity; and the second with Windows 10 Pro and 4G LTE. They will reportedly cost €1099 and €1199 respectively.
