If you’re a fan of Samsung’s S Pen and want to bring that experience to your laptop, you’re going to be interested in one of Samsung’s newest laptops. The Notebook 9 Pen is an ultralight laptop made with a magnesium alloy called Metal-12, which keeps the 13.3-inch laptop at 2.2 pounds. It won’t turn heads looks-wise but that isn’t its selling point anyway. The Notebook 9 Pen, as we mentioned, supports the S Pen, making this a good tool for artists who want to use this convertible laptop for sketching or if you prefer jotting down notes by hand. The S Pen now offers 4,096 pressure levels and has a 0.7mm nib. The laptop also comes with a new Voice Note feature that captures conversations around you and lets you take down notes as the app records audio. You can also make GIFs by using the S Pen to capture snippets from the video it sees on your screen.
Specs-wise, the Notebook 9 Pen is powered by an 8th-generaion Intel Core i7 processor with up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD. It has a 1080p display and unfortunately a limited number of I/O ports (one USB-C port, one USB 3.0 port, a microSD slot, and an HDMI out). No word yet on pricing and availability of this device.
