The S Pen is battery free, built into the device and it can recognize 4,096 levels of pressure with a fine 0.7mm tip. It also comes with tilt detection for more natural drawing experience.

All these four devices are powered by the latest 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor and Samsung Dual Channel Memory for great performance. And they come with the RealView display for outstanding viewing experience.
