Digital ink doesn’t lead an excessive amount of whereas drawing and writing, thanks partly to sturdy show response. Whereas we choose the “more true” eraser within the Floor Pen, we’ll take the button-based one on the S-Pen for its improved portability and enjoyable options.

All that said, if you're primarily looking for a convertible laptop with good performance and battery life, will only use the pen occasionally, and are hopeful about updates improving pen input, the 13-inch Notebook 9 Pro is worth considering, especially if the price remains at $899. But at the $1,099 price that you'll find if buying from Samsung directly, we think this convertible is a bit overpriced for this crowded market.

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.
