Leveraging the success of its first attempt at cramming a full-blown Windows 10 PC tablet in an ultra-thin form factor with a keyboard, Samsung delivers an impressive product design performance with the Galaxy Book at MWC 2017.

You wait for one premium 2-in-1 Windows 10 hybrid, and along come a whole selection at once. Samsung is hoping the Galaxy Book 12-inch will catch your eye out of a growing market, promising the latest in digital S Pen technology plus more processing power than you might expect from such a skinny...

Well-constructed and quietly stylish; Super AMOLED screen is superb; S Pen is great for digital artists; Impressive performance from Core i5

LTE option only comes with 4GB of RAM; Very expensive; Stand design can be frustrating

Hybrid 2-in-1 tablet convertible devices like new are a tough gig. Striking a balance between ultimate portability, performance, and battery life is not easy when it comes to the well-under 2 pound device class of products.

This gorgeous Samsung 2-in-1 gives Microsoft's best tablet a run for its money

The Samsung Galaxy Book rightfully belongs on the quickly growing list of impressive Microsoft Surface Pro contenders. It's a Windows 10 tablet with a stunning 12-inch Super AMOLED display, Intel's latest processors and detachable keyboard cover with stylus.

The Samsung Galaxy Book has an excellent screen, strong performance and long battery life; For a 12-inch tablet, it's compact; A keyboard cover and stylus are both included

It can get hot if multitasking for a long time; The keyboard case is wobbly if not sitting on a sturdy surface; The kickstand situation isn't as solid as the Surface's

Samsung is taking another stab at the two-in-one market with the Samsung Galaxy Book. Despite different branding, the Galaxy Book feels like a successor to last year's Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro S.

Gorgeous Super AMOLED display; Strong performance; Responsive keyboard; Interesting convertible design

Mediocre battery life; Lack of premium design; Expensive

Prospective buyers with enough petty cash can hardly go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy Book 12 LTE if they like the idea of a connecting keyboard and high portability. Apart from the meagre port selection, Samsung really has managed to combine the best of both worlds in one device.

S-Pen and keyboard included; attractive and modest design; seemingly perfect workmanship; well-made; flexible keyboard case; good cameras with 13 and 5 MP; fast Wi-Fi and LTE; TPM / BitLocker and W10 Pro; good input devices; bright AMOLED screen; great viewing angle stability; very inconspicuous...

2x USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C + audio jack only; suboptimal color accuracy; color accuracy cannot be improved; PWM at 250 Hz; tablet can heat up quite a lot; throttling under continuous load

In spite of it's limitations, I highly recommend this for anyone who needs full power AND portability.

This Laplet (Laptop/Tablet) first and foremost feels solid and substantial but definitely not heavy; Secondly the display is beautiful

Keyboard/Case/Stand does not match the quality of the Galaxy book itself

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.

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.
