First look at Samsung's TabPro and NotePro slates from CES 2014

It's no secret that Samsung is shooting for a big enterprise and BYOD play, it's KNOX security solution has been a huge part of recent model releases and now it has a bevy of 'Pro' focused tablets and notes that have a higher-spec than the consumer versions.

The TabPro models appear in 12.2-inch, 10.1-inch, and 8.4-inch sizes and are expected to come in both WiFi and LTE enabled versions. TouchWiz on these devices is running the new Magazine UX, which at first glance looks a lot like Windows 8. The NotePro slate comes in a 12.2-inch version and seems to be a variant of the TabPro. Is a business oriented Android tablet something that will excite the knowledge workers? That remains to be seen, but Samsung seems confident these are the tools pro users will want.
