Samsung's new Galaxy Book S is a Qualcomm-powered laptop with LTE
[Samsung][2] just announced the [Galaxy Note 10][3], and immediately followed that up by unveiling another device: An ultralight laptop.
Called the Samsung Galaxy Book S, it is a Windows 10 laptop that's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cz processor. While on stage at the Unpacked event in Brooklyn, Samsung's Hassan Anjum described it as a laptop, but with "the essence of a smartphone" because of its chip.
Otherwise, Samsung was extremely light on details at Unpacked. So far, we know the notebook features a 13-inch touchscreen, offers LTE connectivity, and is supposed to provide a 23-hour battery life. Samsung also said it would be available starting at $999 this September.

We suspected Samsung might announce the Galaxy Book S during the event, [as the laptop recently popped up in a leak][5]. At the time, we noted it looks similar to Microsoft's Surface Laptop, with its slim, square, neutral-coloured appearance. It's just missing the fabric covering, really.
Shortly after debuting the Galaxy Book S, Samsung brought Microsoft CEO Sataya Nadella on stage to discuss a partnership that will see exclusive Microsoft integrations come to the Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy Book S. You can expect an enhanced Outlook experience, for instance, a new option to sync with Microsoft OneDrive services, and more.

Ironically, this partnership may position the Galaxy Book S a direct competitor to Microsoft Surface devices.
