Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha boasts QLED display, crazy-long battery life for $829
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
If that 13.3-inch QLED display is as good as we're hoping, and Samsung didn't compromise on performance to get the price so low, then the Galaxy Book Flex Alpha could ask serious questions of the HP Envy 13, our current favorite sub-$1,000 laptop.

Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha – affordable QLED 2-in-1 ultrabook
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
Availability is still set for sometime around the first half of the year, though, so it might be a while until we get them in stores. But if not in a hurry, they could be worth the wait. At the same time, keep in mind that Samsung laptops are not worldwide available, so if you’re in Europe, for instance, you’re not going to get them.

The $830 Samsung Galaxy Flex Alpha is a cheaper 2-in-1 for CES 2020
Source: CNet Archive.org version
Following the Galaxy Book Flex announced in October, Samsung is launching its less expensive $830 sibling for CES 2020. The Galaxy Book Flex Alpha is slated to ship it by June. (Sorry, it's "Galaxy Book Flex α" because we all use the Greek letters, right?) To hit that price, Samsung made the Pen optional, dropped Thunderbolt 3 support and shrank the battery. It also has a lower-end set of memory, storage and processor options and comes in silver, rather than blue.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
