If you do like Laptops with a screen which can rotate as you like, Samsung has announced an upgraded version of Notebook 7 which offers 360-degree rotating screen along with support for Active Pen. Windows 10 has a huge support for Ink, and it makes sense to have a pen support as well. The device will be available at their CES 2018 booth for the showcase.

When it comes to the hardware specifications, you get a 13.3 inch FULL HD PLS display, backlit keyboard, latest 8th generation of Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 256 GB of internal storage. It does sound like Mac configuration. You also get Windows Hello integrated Fingerprint sensor, USB C port one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port, one HMDI port and HP/mic port along with VGA (WHY?) camera, precisions touchpad.
When it comes to Software, you get Studio Plus which is for users who wish to express their creative side, Studio Plus allows them to produce personalized movies featuring their favorite photos and videos.
