[full picture] rumors of Samsung Galaxy Book Fold 17 [difficult to use]

Always introduce convenient products that many people want to buy on BableTech, this introduction will make people feel a little difficult to use, it is a computer with a sense of the near future. Samsung is led by a series of Galaxy smartphones and also makes computers such as the Galaxy Book, and there are rumors that Samsung will launch foldable "computers" instead of smartphones. A collapsible computer. Like an ordinary laptop, it looks like a foldable smartphone.

So, what kind of computer is this? Let me introduce you. Besides, it's just hearsay.

About Galaxy Book series computers

First of all, let's introduce what kind of computers Samsung's Galaxy Book series computers are.

This is the existing Galaxy Book series. To be exact, it is the Galaxy Book S series. Have you introduced this product before?

[de-arm] the new Galaxy Book S, what has changed?

Usually use the computer processing device, although the design is very thin, but it looks like a laptop.

Introduction to Galaxy Book Fold 17

What appears here is not just Galaxy Book, but "Galaxy Book Fold 17". In addition, please note that this is only a temporary name.

Now, let's start with the design of Galaxy Book Fold 17.

デザイン

This is a thumbnail of this article. A leak in the upper left corner? There is a picture of Galaxy Book Fold 17, and the lower right corner is the picture I drew. If you look at the picture on the left, you will know that the upper screen is very ordinary, but the bottom is not a keyboard like an ordinary laptop, and the bottom is also a screen. Then again, I'm not sure which is the top and which is the bottom. Smiling in the picture on the right, there is something like a frame at the junction of the upper picture and the next picture, but there is almost no problem with this understanding. When you unfold the ontology, it becomes a big picture.

That's it. If you enlarge it, it seems that it can be used as a big picture. Both screens are 13 inches before the expansion, but 17 inches after the expansion. So it's called Fold17.

In other words, the commonly used part is a slightly smaller 13-inch laptop. Having said that, if it is a 17-inch display, it feels pretty big.

Although there are such characteristics, similar computers have appeared before. This is Lenovo's ThinkPad X1Fold.

For the first time in the world, the picture-only laptop "ThinkPad X1Fold" is explained thoroughly.

The laptop here is usually bent and used as a laptop, but it can be expanded into a large picture in an emergency, and the keyboard can be connected to use like an all-in-one computer. It feels like a Nintendo Switch for a video game console.

It would be convenient if you can use the same function in Galaxy Book Fold 17, but if you don't connect the external keyboard, you will use the keyboard on the screen, so it may be a little inconvenient.

If it is as light as a smartphone, it can be difficult to type on the screen, but it is also quite powerful to put the computer keyboard on the screen and hit it with five fingers. I have touched a similar product once before, and there is only a kind of awkward feeling. Maybe the phone (function phone) which used to be a physical button becomes the feeling that the full picture is typed on the screen (smartphone). It's an unexpected habit.

内部仕様

Next, I'd like to introduce the internal specification.

１．OS

Full-screen is like a tablet, and it is said that the operating system will use Windows. Even using a 17-inch mobile Android and so on is not so convenient. Even with APP, the resolution is too high to play the effect of a large screen.

２．処理装置

Because it looks like a tablet, I thought Qualcomm's Snapdragon and other mobile processing devices would be adopted. I'm afraid it would use CPU such as the ordinary Intel used by computers. By the way, Galaxy Book S series and others have used Intel's "Lakefield" CPU in the past. This is the same as Lenovo's ThinkPad X1Fold and so on. Lakefield mixes high-performance core and power-saving core together, and successfully improves power efficiency through balanced use of them. Therefore, it is most suitable for thin computers and so on.

Therefore, even for Galaxy Book Fold 17 Magazine Lakefield is likely to be adopted, but Lakefield is completely over. After all, this is the 10th generation CPU series (Intel), which is now on sale for the 12th generation and is now out of date.

So whether Lakefield has a successor or not, this is the 12th generation of CPU. This is a schema name called Alder Lake, which also introduces a "big.LITTLE" core configuration that mixes a high-performance core with a power-saving core.

The configuration of the processor core can further improve power efficiency by handling advanced processing in the high-performance core and simple processing in the power-saving core. It is mainly used in the CPU of mobile terminals.

For the Alder Lake architecture, see the following article.

Information about the 12th generation desktop CPU of Intel [Alder Lake-S]

It is very likely that the mobile version of this series will be adopted.

Or, it is said that big.LITTLE will basically be adopted after the 12th generation, so the mobile-oriented CPU after the 13th generation may be adopted.

The rumor information about Galaxy Book Fold 17 is actually very rare, only so many rumors of the status quo.

The time of appearance of Galaxy Book Fold 17

Finally, I would like to talk about the timing of emergence. For some reason, this is another minor rumor that may go on sale on May 17 in the first quarter of 2022. Does this have anything to do with the expansion of 17 inches?
