Latest Black Panther trailer takes us to Wakanda

Black Panther is the latest Marvel Avenger to get his own movie which is scheduled for 2018.

On the heels of Microsoft revealing all new Surface Pros and Apple refreshing its iPad Pro line and adding a 10.5-inch model, Samsung's decided now is a good time to throw down in what's quickly becoming a crowded 2-in-1 tablet space.

The Samsung Galaxy Book is a thin and  lightweight two-in-one Windows 10 device built for productivity on-the-go.  It is available in 12-inch and 10.6-inch versions, its versatile form factor easily transforms the device from tablet to notebook and comes with a stylish metal design, fast-charging battery and an advanced S Pen included. The 10.6-inch device will be $899.99 CDN (MSRP) and the 12-inch device will be $1,899.99 CDN (MSRP). Check them out here for more information and specs.
