With its updated Notebook 9 Pen two-in-one laptop, Samsung is targeting creative professionals who want the flexibility of both a laptop and a pen-enabled tablet without needing separate devices or paying extra for a pen. Like with the 2018 model, Samsung will include one of its S Pens, an active pen that can be used to write and draw on the convertible's full-HD display. It's a new pen, too, designed to work the instant the tip meets the screen with reduced latency, Samsung said in its announcement. The pen will also come with three different tips to adjust the feel of the pen on the display.
