Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 13 with S Pen Built InSamsung

During the annual Samsung Developers Conference, the company took the wraps off two new Windows laptops: the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex and the Galaxy Book Ion. The Flex is a convertible laptop with a 360-degree hinge which turns it into a tablet, while the Ion is a traditional clamshell design.

Both laptops are pretty powerful, with the latest tenth-generation Intel processors, Wi-Fi 6 support, QLED displays, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of internal solid-state storage. They are also both lookers, with sleek designs and a Royal Blue color palette.

Both laptops are also very thin and light, with the Samsung Galaxy Book Ion starting at just over 2.1 pounds.

The Galaxy Book Flex, though, is the most interesting of the pair. Along with its almost-all-blue keyboard and chassis, the device features a built-in Bluetooth S Pen, the same you’d find in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 smartphone. That means you can use gesture controls on the S Pen to conduct a PowerPoint presentation, for example.

Check it out in the gallery below:

Since the Flex can convert into a tablet-like interface, the S Pen will be useful for people who like to create digital art on their laptops. Unfortunately, the display resolution of all the laptops maxes out at Full HD+, or 1,920 x 1,080. A 4K model would be a nice upgrade, but you can’t have it all.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Book Ion is missing the S Pen but is designed more for business professionals. It’s ultra-thin at just 12.9mm thick (for the entry-level model) but still packs in a ton of power.

Check the Ion out in the gallery below:

Both laptops also feature a fingerprint sensor built-into the keyboard. The Galaxy Book Ion shows it loud-and-clear with its blue colorway.

The Samsung Galaxy Book Ion and Galaxy Book Flex both will be available in 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch models. Samsung didn’t reveal pricing for either device but did say they would be available in select markets by December of this year.

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
