Wireless is handled by 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1,<br />
and there’s also a 4G LTE radio in this Verizonexclusive<br />
model for always-available connectivity. You’ll<br />
need to sign up for an LTE data plan, but that’s easily<br />
done online or in person at a Verizon store. You can<br />
easily switch between Wi-Fi and 4G LTE networks<br />
when you’re in range of a hotspot. LTE is an option in<br />
tablets including the HP Spectre x2 and the upcoming<br />
<strong>2017</strong> version of the Microsoft Surface Pro but not in the<br />
Surface Pro 4.<br />
The keyboard<br />
has a<br />
magnetic<br />
stand that<br />
clips on to the<br />
tablet’s back<br />
side and gives<br />
you four<br />
usable angles.<br />

The $1,129.99 base model and the LTE-equipped<br />
version of the Galaxy Book come with 4GB of RAM and<br />
a 128GB SSD. While that’s usable, a Windows 10 tablet<br />
should really come with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD,<br />
especially at this price. You can purchase a version of<br />
the tablet with those specs for $1,329.99, but you won’t<br />
get an LTE radio. The Surface Pro 4 comes with 8GB of<br />
RAM and a 256GB SSD for $1,299, though you’ll have<br />
to purchase its $129 Type Cover separately. The main<br />
concern is that you can’t upgrade the memory postpurchase,<br />
so you’re stuck with what you get when you<br />
open the box. On the bright side, the Galaxy Book, the<br />
HP Spectre x2, and the Surface Pro 4 all give you the<br />
option of adding up to 256GB of storage with a microSD<br />
card (in the case of the Galaxy Book, the card slot on the<br />
left side).
