Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha 13.3" 2-in-1 Laptop
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha is a more powerful variant of the 13.3-inch Galaxy Book Flex: rather than an Ice Lake 10nm processor, the Flex Alpha uses a more powerful 14nm Comet Lake U-series CPU while being a mere 1mm thicker. It also borrows some design elements of the ultra-mobile always-connected Galaxy Book S.
Like the Flex, the Flex Alpha features one of the first QLED display panels in laptops. It also offers WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 wireless connectivity with a full set of physical I/O options.
Similarly, the Galaxy Book Flex Alpha supports Samsung's S Pen and boasts the versatility that only a 2-in-1 convertible can deliver.
