360-degree rotating display, S Pen supporting 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity

Samsung Electronics signals the opening of the full-scale Pen notebook era by launching the 2018 'Samsung Notebook Pen' in Korea on the 22nd, which is equipped with an S Pen enabling diverse and creative expression.

The 2018 'Samsung Notebook Pen' 33.7 cm model has been further upgraded with an ultra-lightweight design weighing less than 1 kg by using the same magnesium material as the 2017 hit model 'Samsung Notebook 9 Always'.

Samsung Electronics has drastically reduced the weight of the 2018 'Samsung Notebook Pen' while maintaining its strength with the magnesium-based 'Metal12™', which is made by applying the state-of-the-art plasma surface treatment method, MAO (Micro Arc Oxidation), to a single-shell body made by seamlessly machining a solid block of metal.

The 'Samsung Notebook Pen' can be used like a tablet by rotating the display 360 degrees, and with the S Pen, which supports a thin 0.7 mm pen tip and 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, it allows for natural and precise work, just like writing on paper or drawing in a sketchbook.

Samsung Electronics plans to offer the paid version of 'Autodesk Sketchbook,' a program that enables professional-grade image work using the S Pen, for free to customers who purchase the 'Samsung Notebook Pen' for 90 days..

In addition, the S Pen of the 'Samsung Notebook Pen' offers the same convenience as the S Pen of the existing Galaxy Note series. By holding the S Pen close to the display and pressing the side button, you can use the 'Air Command' function, which supports creating a new note, 'Smart Select' to select and save a desired area, and 'Capture and Write' to capture the current screen and write directly on it.

In addition, the 2018 Samsung Notebook Pen supports △Intel 8th generation processors △'Voice Note,' which enables clear voice recording from a distance and allows users to find and listen to only the marked parts during recording △'Samsung RealView Display,' which provides professional-grade display color accuracy △and 'Windows Hello,' which allows for fast and convenient login via face or fingerprint recognition.

The 2018 'Samsung Notebook Pen' is scheduled to be released in a single color, Light Titanium, in various models depending on detailed specifications such as display size and processor. The price is 2.38 million won for the top-of-the-line 33.7cm model, NT930QAA-K716, and 2.66 million won for the top-of-the-line 38.1cm model, NT950QAA-X716.

In addition, Samsung Electronics will also launch a new 'Samsung Notebook 9 Always' on the 22nd, which has been leading the ultra-lightweight and ultra-slim laptop market. The battery capacity has been expanded to 75 Wh, the highest specification in its class, significantly increasing usage time.

The Samsung Notebook 9 Always offers up to 19.5 hours of usage based on the MM14 (MobileMark 14) standard, a rigorous test based on real-world usage environments. With Samsung Electronics' proprietary 'Quick Charge' technology, a 10-minute charge provides 2.1 hours of usage, while a 20-minute charge provides 4.4 hours.

The Samsung Notebook 9 Always is released in two colors, Light Titanium and Crush White, with various specifications. The 33.7 cm NT900X3T-K58L model is priced at 1.84 million won, the 38.1 cm NT900X5T-K58L model at 1.94 million won, and the 38.1 cm external graphics NT900X5T-X78L model at 2.24 million won.
