Wanted something lighter than existing laptop to use when on the move but wanted a keyboard and Windows 10 rather than Android like most other tablets. Seems to be a quality product and performs well. Also a lot cheaper than Microsoft equivalent.

samsung galaxy book: Samsung's Galaxy Book is affordable, compact and refined

Great bundled keyboard and stylus; Decent performance given price; Standout display

Middling battery life; Uninspiring design

The Galaxy Book's display is out of this world, but its battery life and keyboard keep it grounded.

Thin and light; OLED display looks beautiful; Clear; loud speakers; Solid processor performance

Awkward keyboard cover; Lacks built-in stand; Poor battery life

I used the USB C adapter provided by Samsung to connect my USB hard drives. Nothing happens when I connect any flash drive to Portable HDD drive. So no I can't read any of my USB hard drives. I have to continue using my old PC. Searching th einternet I couldn't find any solution to my problem.

Samsung has been working hard on perfecting the 2-in-1 device, and with the Samsung Galaxy Book it has made its best convertible yet, surpassing its own Galaxy TabPro S of last year.

Gorgeous display; Essential accessories included; Competitive battery life

Still-poor keyboard cover; Sub-premium materials; No Windows Hello

The Galaxy Book 12 is the larger option in Samsung's current line-up of 2-in-1 laptops. It aims to steal the limelight from the Microsoft Surface Pro by offering users a significantly thinner and lighter chassis that doesn't compromise on hardware.

Portable design; Good battery life; Super-vibrant AMOLED screen

Lack of ports is a pain; Keyboard stand mechanism isn't the best

The screen is fantastic, exceptionally bright and with crystal clear text. I've been using the Galaxy Book as my only PC and I haven't noticed any slowdowns, it's handled all my daily computing tasks perfectly.

Got a great deal on this from PB tech on the weekend. This tablet PC is so awesome! This is what I like about it: 1. Screen - AMOLED screen is so nice, best I have ever seen.. forget about the IP#$s or Sur@#$#@Pro!! 2. Size - It is so slim and light. Don't feel like a chore carrying it around. 3.

Does Samsung's latest 2-in-1 have what it takes to compete with Microsoft's almighty Surface family

Samsung has undoubtedly made a better product than last year's Tab Pro S, but it's still found wanting. The plastic build is unforgivable at this price point and while performance is decent, it's not a product that is all that compelling to use.
