Samsung - Galaxy Book2 Pro 15.6" AMOLED Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 32GB Memory - Intel Arc A350M Graphics - 1TB SSD - Graphite NP950XEE-XA1US Notebook

I have got this lovely Book2 Pro since the beginning of April 2022. When i opened the package it arrived in, it impressed me. I have since used the laptop a lot and must say I am surprised how good it is. The 16Gb make a lot of difference. Had there been a 32Gb version, I would have gone for that, but it was not available. I bought the laptop to take along with me when I am writing my books. I use it mainly for research on the internet and then with Scrivener to write. The long-lasting battery is excellent. Provided I do not sit in direct sunlight, the battery lasts me the entire day. In direct sunlight, however, it does become a drain on the battery. However, one can extend the usage time if one changes the background colours to a darker mode. I would have liked the display, which is excellent with amazing colours, to be a little brighter when I sit in some coffee shop and write in the sunshine. (one perk of the job.) I absolutely love the keyboard. It is a joy to type on it. I prefer to use a mouse instead of the touchpad. So I switch the touchpad off. Sometimes the space is too narrow and I have to use the touchpad, and it is so easy to switch it on. When it gets dark, I enjoy the back-lit keyboard. It makes life so much easier. Everything considered, it is an outstanding laptop for the price.

Awesome design, light, slim and compact. Snappy performance with the latest 12th generation i7 processor and 16gb RAM. Can run some light games and moderate games on lower settings, but then again this is not a gaming laptop. For everyday use the performance is excellent. It's got all the essential ports which is a surprise for laptops nowadays (HDMI/USB A/2x USB-C/SD Card Reader/Aux Headphone socket). The latest variants of WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are a dream to connect to my BT Smart Hub and my Samsung Galaxy s21 5g smartphone. I do update the laptop's software/apps by using windows update, Microsoft store update and Samsung update, at least monthly. Full HD webcam is present for clear camera performance. The only downside is the battery life. It's nowhere near as good as the advertised but maybe I need to change some settings?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Samsung Galaxy Book2 in my opinion is the best 2-in-1 laptop on the market. It's ideal for anyone who works in graphic design or a similar field. Here's a pros and cons list: Pros: Beautiful and sleek form factor. When you see and feel the laptop, it's hard to believe how much power it packs. Insanely fast processor, SSD, and wifi. From a workflow perspective, it makes things so much easier. I can work on a locally networked hard drive without worrying about dragging files back and forth, and there's practically no difference on this thing. PSD files can get up to 300mb, so this is pretty impressive. If I do need to copy something, it's a matter of seconds, not minutes, in most cases. The screen quality is what you would hope from a high-end modern TV. This is great if you want to watch a film, but it becomes very important in Photoshop when selecting the perfect color or when the color temperature makes or breaks the artwork or design. The touch pen is very comfortable to use. There are many other tablets and laptops that utilize touch pens that are thin or designed to fit inside the laptop instead of in your hand. Samsung went the other direction here and made a stylus you would want if you were working with it for hours at a time. The touch pen is also very intuitive for drawing. It's what you would expect from a company like Samsung, but they absolutely deliver in pin point accuracy. (pin pen pun intended) If you are creating fonts or drawing from scratch, you're going to want to use this pen to get that precision. Intel Xeon exceeded my expectations for gaming. It's not a high-end dedicated graphics card, but it works surprisingly well as a gaming laptop. It will run new games like Cyberpunk and Red Dead Redemption 2 at least at 30fps with settings turned down, so I'm confident it will run almost anything. Emulation works like a champ too. Can run Switch, PS3, Xbox 360, and any older generation as well. The best thing about this laptop for gaming is that it gives a lot of simulation and RPG games new life. Games like Sims 4 can be played in tablet mode with the stylus. It makes for a much better experience than the normal way of playing with a mouse. Cons: There is no USB Type-A port. You'll need a USB-C adaptor to plug in any USB A device. There is no place for the pen inside the laptop. This is also on the pros list because the pen is more comfortable, but it's very easy to lose without a proper place to store it. The pen is magnetized, so it will stick to the laptop, but it's not a very strong magnet. The screen could still be a little brighter. It's fine in darker environments, but when the sun is shining through the window you will see reflections. I know it's 33% brighter than the previous model, but it could still be brighter or less reflective. Bottom line: This Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 by Samsung is the 2-in-1 laptop that we've been waiting for since the category became popular in 2013. Samsung has pushed this concept to its limits in terms of appeal, form factor, design, power, convenience and comfort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife needed a new laptop and this is perfect! Switches from tablet to laptop in seconds and it is really powerful. You can really create some magic with the S pen. My wife is using it for both personal/work tasks and we are very happy! Battery life is about 14 hours with heavy use (could be a bit longer if you don stream videos or presentations). One thing that can be little annoying is that on the burgundy color you see ever single fingerprint. Might have to get a case to help with this. Just a minor flaw on an overall amazing machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Samsung galaxy book 2 is really nice! It's super sleek and thin. It's not very heavy either. It works so nicely and it's user friendly. I love the color as well. It feels and looks like great quality and it won't break easily. There are many awesome features about it. I would highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is a beast. Out of the box it's already beautiful, the burgundy color is so nice and a great difference from the usual black, white and silver of most laptops. It comes with a usb-c to usb-c cable and wall charger as well as an S-Pen. Once you open it up though, it's just... wow. I can't say I'm any expert on computers other than that I've been using them nearly every day of my life since I was a young teen. This is one of the best models I've ever had. It is very fast and also rather intuitive. I knew what I was doing as soon as I turned it on and set it up and didn't feel too in the dark which is great. The screen is plenty large at 15 inches and the storage space of 1 TB is plenty for anyone, especially the average user. As a laptop alone it functions exactly how you would want it to - fast, responsive, intuitive, simple to use. But then, you turn it into a tablet and it becomes a whole other machine. By folding the screen away from the keyboard (it seems scary but I promise you won't break the hinges) to either a tent shape or all the way flat you now have a touch screen tablet with just as much power as a laptop! The touch screen does work when the laptop is not folded but it makes more sense when it is. The s-pen really comes in handy here, if you're just doodling or creating art or even taking notes. This laptop really is an all in one. And you wouldn't think so because it's so slim and lightweight! I've even played games in the "tablet mode." The screen is very sensitive but I believe there's a way to change that setting that I just haven't gotten to yet because every time I open it I just want to explore more and never get around to it. The touchpad has gestures and multitouch that can be a little tricky to figure out if you aren't use to them but there is definitely a setting for that as I turned a few I knew I wouldn't be using off. I can't think of a single thing to say about it that isn't absolute praise except maybe that it doesn't have any usb ports. My last computer was rather old so maybe that's industry standard now. I do like that it charges with a usb-c rather than the old giant bricks that were computer chargers. Overall I give performance a ten, looks a ten, function a ten. You name it, from me, it's a ten. And now my mom wants one too, so there's that.

I am on the journey to build my own Samsung Ecosystem, I already have a Samsung smart TV, S22 ultra phone, Galaxy buds pro and now bought this Laptop as my latest addition (Galaxy Tab & Watch coming in the future). Pros: I absolutely love the premium design, the beautiful white smooth keyboard and how incredibly thin & lightweight it is; I just love everything about it physically. The laptop comes with built in Samsung apps for the ecosystem. Having all my synced apps, notes and seamless connections makes it very convenient for everyday use. EVERYTHING is amazing except for the 2 cons down below. Cons: The touchpad is too big and bit too much to the right. The palm of my right hand always ends up pressing on the touchpad when typing which ends up clicking the mouse wherever it is. This disrupts my typing a lot, and can get very annoying. The biggest deal breaker is the 1080p screen resolution, there isn't even the option to switch down from 1440p. For £1399 in 2022, it is very outdated and over priced to not have this. Even Samsung phones have 1440p resolution which doesn't make sense because it is almost impossible to see the difference on such a small screen. However, on a laptop with a 15.6inch screen it makes a huge difference and becomes very obvious especially when trying to read the text on webpages and being able to see the pixels around it. The AMOLED display is incredible as always but the low resolution defeats the purpose of the AMOLED display and I think it is a step backwards. I am returning this laptop in 3 days after contacting Samsung for returns. Unless Samsung offers me £1000 off when I trade-in this laptop during the pre-order phase of Galaxy book 3 pro (when it comes out in a years time), there is no reason for me to hold on to this laptop. I shall await patiently for the Galaxy book 3 pro (can't wait to pre-order it!!!) Please don't let me down and have a 1440p display Samsung! Thank you for reading.

i have used this laptop for a little more than a week for school and i can't say i'm impressed, but i'm pleased.i primarily use it for programming, general schoolwork and normal streaming, and it works fine. the keyboard is a little hard to get used to coming from a former thinkpad user but it's adaptable.the keys can be noisy if you are not a swift typer but its quiet enough. taking notes is not the best experience because the screen flexes a bit and the 60 refresh rate...the screen is massive with the 15-inch model, and it works perfectly when multitasking; amazing for homework.battery power could be better but you can optimize it to your usage. the only thing i need is a cover because of the fingerprints and slipperiness.overall its nice and i get a lot of compliments for it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the feeling of the keyboards on this (mentioning just in case you're someone who cares about that kind of thing too!). The speakers sound great and the video quality on this is freaky good. Kind of seems like you're watching a movie in real time..without the screen. The pixels on the camera and video are great too and the speakers sounded good too. My only issue is with how quickly the laptop overheats. Might be worth it to buy a laptop stand to make sure it can get air on the bottom. Seeing how thin the laptop is though, it makes sense that the fan won't be as efficient. In total it's a great, sleek, and beautiful laptopl.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where to begin with this Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro laptop? I first want to bring up a few pros to this laptop. The RAM is 16GB and the memory is 512GB. So, storage is honestly not an issue, in my opinion! But, it doesn't stop there, it has a microsd slot on the side, so you can use this for additional storage, if needed/wanted! The display is amazing, between the 16.5" screen and the wonderful quality it provides you, you will fall in love! It runs relatively well, responds quickly and I personally haven't noticed any issues/concerns with it lagging. Even with my daughter playing Roblox - adopt me on it, I did not notice any issues nor did she make any complaints about it being slow. I love the backlights on the keyboard, this makes it so easy when you are working on something late at night. Though I am a rather great typer, so I don't need to physically see my keys while typing, it does make it nice to see, especially when you need to mess with the quick keys (brightness/volume, etc.) I also like that they are adjustable and they do go on a 'sleep' mode when the keyboard hasn't been used for a few seconds, which is nice because it helps with battery life. I also love how quiet the keys and touchpad are, this makes it very nice at night as well, or just in general. Speaking of touchpads, I do use mine a lot for scrolling when I don't have a mouse hooked up. With that said, I did have to go into the settings and switch up the scrolling because it was driving me crazy how opposite it was! If you wanted to scroll up you would swipe down and vise versa, this was so annoying, I am very glad it gave the option to switch it! And lastly, I absolutely love how lightweight this laptop is! The fact that it is so light is insane, honestly. If I am not mistaken, I believe this laptop is around 2lbs, which is crazy! It has this nice thin/sleek look to it and I'm obsessed! Now for the few cons! The battery life is OKAY. If I'm not doing anything heavy on the laptop, the battery life will do decent but, if my daughter is playing Roblox on it, she's lucky if she gets three hours out of the battery. I have lowered the brightness on the screen and the backlights to help prolong the battery a little, this helped to a certain extent. The computer tends to get very hot! I have noticed experiencing this issue mainly when I have it sitting in my lap or on the armrest of the couch, etc. If I have it sitting at my desk, on the table/counter, etc., I do not notice any issues with it! This could be a big deal for some, because if you are like me, you mainly use your laptop on the couch or in bed. I have thought about getting an extra cooling fan to see if that improves anything, but for the time being, I'll just use it at my desk/table. Next, though this does provide you with a USB-A, USB-C, MicroSD Slot and an HDMI port, I really wish that it had at least one additional USB-A slot. Having only one can sometimes be an annoyance when I have my wireless mouse hooked up but need to plug my computer into my cricut machine or something. Though thankfully a lot of it connects via bluetooth, I do sometimes have hiccups and need to plug it straight in, which results in me having to unplug stuff. And lastly, if you are anything like me, you get so annoyed with fingerprints! Well, this laptop is a fingerprint magnet! This has driven me crazy, haha! But, I have done my best to look past it and just wipe it down. All in all, this is a really good laptop! The setup process was quick and simple, so I was able to get started almost immediately (right after you fully charge, haha).
