Samsung has defied the trend towards smaller tablets, unveiling a model with a 12.2-inch screen.
The Galaxy NotePRO, unveiled on Monday at an event in Las Vegas, is expected to be available in Australia by the end of March.
Its 12.2-inch screen is larger than that found on many laptops, and the device is targeted at an area in which laptops still have an advantage over tablets: productivity.
The tablet's screen can be split into four smaller windows, which Samsung says improves a user's ability to multitask.
The larger screen size also means the pop-up keyboard obscures a relatively smaller amount of the screen, Samsung says. A separate keyboard and mouse cost extra.
The tablet comes with the same stylus as previous smartphones and tablets in the Note range, and has Cisco's web conferencing software built-in.
The high-definition, widescreen display has a 2560x1600 pixel resolution.
The tablet was unveiled ahead of the International Consumer Electronics Show along with the TabPRO range, which will come in 8.4, 10.1 and 12.1-inch models.
Samsung has yet to announce how much the tablets will cost.
