Samsung’s Galaxy Book S turned heads when it was announced last August, but its long delay kept the $1,000 Qualcomm-powered Windows PC out of interested users’ hands for months. After a long wait from its initial September window, those still interested will finally be able to get one on Feb. 13. Additionally, it will be available for purchase from the Microsoft Store and Verizon on the same day, with Sprint stocking the machine on February 14th.
In an announcement Thursday, Samsung officially started taking preorders for the laptop, including offering those who preorder on Samsung.com between now and Feb. 12 a $100 credit toward “any Samsung PC, tablet and select accessories.”
The ARM-based laptop that runs Windows 10 was unveiled at Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 event last summer, but missed its original September launch window. Samsung has been mum on why the machine was delayed, but whatever the reason may be, now seems like a good time to launch, seeing as the ARM version of Microsoft’s new Edge Chromium browser will likely arrive soon it’s still in beta.
That week is shaping up to be a busy week for Samsung, with the company set to announce its new foldable and Galaxy S20 line of phones on Feb. 11.
