At Mobile World Congress today, Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Book, a premium 2-in-1 device running Windows 10.

Part of an expanded strategic partnership between the Korean company and Microsoft, the Galaxy Book is built with the mobile enterprise customer in mind. There are actually two versions of the Galaxy Book: the Galaxy Book 10 has a 10.6-inch LCD screen (1,920 x 1,280 pixels) and is powered by an Intel Core m3 processor, while the Galaxy Book 12 has a 12-inch Super AMOLED display (2,160 x 1,440 pixels) that supports HDR video playback and uses Intel’s 7th-gen “Kaby Lake” Core i5 CPU running at 3.1GHz. A full spec model will also land you 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.

Otherwise, both Galaxy Books offer a keyboard cover, a pair of USB Type-C ports, and claim up to 10 hours of battery life. There’s also the S Pen, which supports Windows Ink, so you can write and draw directly on the screen. Both Wi-Fi and LTE models will be available.

The new Galaxy Books also sport something called Samsung Flow. A feature that’s already on the Galaxy TabPro S, Samsung Flow basically lets you use your Galaxy smartphone’s fingerprint scanner to sign in to the Book, as well as share a Wi-Fi connection through the phone’s mobile hotspot. You can also check your phone’s notifications directly on the 2-in-1 device.

Samsung has yet to announce availability and pricing details for the Galaxy Book tablets.
