this is Dan c4 with the verge and we're here at CES 2014 in Las Vegas checking out the new Samsung line of tablets the company is now launched its Galaxy Pro line of tablets which include the Galaxy Tab pro in three different sizes and the Galaxy Note pro in a twelve point two inch size the focus for these particular tablets is a big emphasis on productivity and multitasking the company has done a lot of things to make multitasking easier on a tablet than it has before enhancing its multi window features and other business-minded features Samsung expects this to be able to replace both a tablet and a laptop for a lot of consumers this is the Galaxy Note pro it's got a 12 point 2 inch 2560 by 1600 pixel LCD display there's really little to complain about with the display here the device is relatively thin it's about the same thickness as you might have seen on a note 3 or other earlier Note 10.1 tablets and it has the same kind of faux leather finish as the note 3 unit down to the fake stitching on the back it really just feels like all stretched out elongated Note 3 that's been made quite a bit bigger but it's pretty hefty especially if you're trying to hold it with one hand and interact with it it's definitely not something that you can do for a long time without having to rest it on a desk or a table powering it is a Samsung Exynos processor there's for the Wi-Fi mode version the LTE version we'll be using a Qualcomm processor chip and they both come with three gigabytes of RAM as you can see here samsung has a new home screen that it's calling the magazine UX it allows users to put different sized tiles around for different information you can have your email tile and news and weather and things it really feels like Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 live tiles with constantly updating information and things like that and you can have up to five different screens and default there are three some of the other cool features that there are the enhanced multitasking you can now have up to four apps open at once and then you can actually resize them two different configurations there and you can even have two instances of the same app so if you want to compare side-by-side to websites or to Excel spreadsheets or something like that you can open them up both at the same time it really tries to emulate more of a desktop experience than ever before and the exercise that you get extra screen real estate with the twelve point two inch screen kind of enables that that's going to be exclusive on the Galaxy Tab 12 point two and the Galaxy Note pro the smaller 10.1 and 8.4 inch versions of the Galaxy Tab don't have as many multitasking features otherwise this is Samsung's custom interface on top of Android 4.4.2 kitkat Samsung will be launching this entire line later this quarter but it has not yet announced any pricing information
