Samsung hosted its Samsung Developer Conference 2019 a few days back and we got some interesting products. Two of them are laptops by Samsung which are claimed that is the best business laptop in India 2019 by Samsung. These two are the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex and Samsung Galaxy Book Ion: both built for professionals. According to Samsung, they had a few preliminary visions to launch these exact 2 products. Nowadays, laptops are an integral part of any professional- from sending emails to heavy-duty programming or editing. With all Apple’s and other brand’s claim of using iPads and Tablets able enough to replace a PC, it’s not actually the case in real-life. Laptops are important, so are innovations in laptops.
Samsung says that professionals always have to compromise on either specification of the laptop or have to carry 2kgs on their backs! Samsung Galaxy Book Flex and Samsung Galaxy Book Ion aim to offer both at a reasonable price so that professionals can maximize their productivity.
“Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy Book Ion eliminate the need to compromise by offering powerful performance with unparalleled portability and display innovation.” ~YoungGyoo Choi, Senior Vice President of, Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics.
As we all know, Samsung makes the best displays in the world, period! And the Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy book Ion being Samsung’s own machinery, they’re obviously using their pride to make these shine. Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy Book Ion offer world’s 1st QLED Display in laptops– Yes, QLED! Not only it will offer punchier colors, but also it can go bright up to an insane limit of 600nits demolishing any issues of less visibility in direct sunlight. Needless to say, QLED displays will be more battery efficient which the professionals crave!
Also, Samsung’s Wireless PowerShare feature can charge any Qi-compatible smartphones, Galaxy Buds or wearables with the laptop’s touchpad. Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy Book Ion both illustrate Samsung’s design legacy for an ultra-thin and light device that easily slips into bags and backpacks without aching the shoulders while carrying. These features are what make these two the Best Business Laptop in India 2019.
Intel announced their new Project Athena at CES 2019 but the insights came later the year. These are Samsung’s 1st offerings which are Intel Project Athena verified. To know more about Project Athena, refer here. To make long things short, I’ll briefly describe the requirements of Project Athena and why it is important in making the Best Business Laptop in India 2019.
Project Athena is the upgraded version of Intel’s Ultrabook mission, with more of a serious vision and strict requirements. Project Athena, at its purest form, is basically a set of standards that Intel wants for laptops. Intel said its engineers will work with companies like HP, Dell, and many more to create laptops that meet its standards. It’ll even test them before they can become Project Athena-certified.
The biggest takeaway is that Project Athena laptops will need to deliver nine hours of battery life. That includes while browsing the web over Wi-Fi and with the screen set to a level of brightness (250 nits). That implies, no more of the fake “24-hour battery” promise.
Intel will perform rigorous testing on each laptop seeking Project Athena certification so they’re perfect for real-world usage. They’ll have to pass Intel’s idea of real-world use – out of the box display and system settings, 250nits of brightness, and multiple tabs and applications running. In short, how we generally use a laptop.
Intel believes its criteria will actually satisfy modern users’ needs, and it’s going to make sure manufacturers don’t cheat them. It said Project Athena laptops will have to meet a range of specifications based on its design, battery, and hardware.
“We are building on our long history with Samsung to drive innovation and bring new mobile computing experiences to market,” said Gregory Bryant, Intel executive vice president, and general manager of the Client Computing Group. “The introduction of Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy Book Ion, the first Project Athena-verified laptops from Samsung and both based on 10th Gen Intel Core, showcases what can be achieved when we bring great engineering talent together to work towards a united vision of a new computing experience of the future.”
Some of the key features are listed below whereas the complete specification of the Galaxy Book Flex is demonstrated later.
