Samsung is joining the 2-in-1 Windows 10 device party with the Galaxy Book, a brand-new product that was unveiled earlier this year and which is projected to hit the market as soon as this month.

The company has revealed today pricing information for the Galaxy Book range, and the cheapest model will cost only $629.99 at select retailers in the United States.

Specifically, the Galaxy Book with a 12-inch screen and LTE support will originally go on sale at Verizon for $1,299, while the Wi-Fi version will be up for grabs for $1,129.

Those looking for a more affordable model can pick the Galaxy Book with a 10.6-inch screen, which will be available at Samsung and select retailers for pre-order starting April 21 for $629.99. General availability is planned for May 21, so these retailers have one full month of exclusivity for the new Samsung 2-in-1.

Samsung says the Galaxy Book will originally be released in Silver in the United States, while Best Buy will be the only retailer selling the Black version.

Galaxy Book hardware specifications

The Galaxy Book will go on sale in two different versions, with 10.6-inch TFT display and with a 12-inch Super AMOLED screen.

The smaller model will be powered by an Intel Core m3 dual-core processor running at 2.6 GHz paired with 4GB RAM and featuring either 64GB or 128GB storage. The bigger brother, however, will be equipped with an Intel Core i5 7200 U dual-core processor clocked at 3.1 GHz, 4GB RAM and 128GB storage on the LTE version and 4GB + 128GB storage or 8GB RAM and 256GB storage on the Wi-Fi configuration.

Samsung is offering fast charging on the two devices, and the 10.6-inch model runs on a 30.4W battery, while the 12-inch version is upgraded to 39.04W.

Both models are running Windows 10 and come with microSD ports for increased storage capacity, as well as with a USB 3.1 slot for charging and data transfers.
