Let's start with the bad. Samsung totally overpriced this laptop. The retail price is $1899, and it should probably be more like $1499. I can't personally gripe about the price because I got this open-box and paid much less than $1499 for it. Once price is not a negative point for this purchase, then this becomes one of the best 2 in 1's on the market. Please understand I am not the average user. I am in the tech field and in the last 2 years I have purchased over 15 laptops from best buy. Most of them in the mid-range tier ranging from $1000 - $2000 in price. Because my needs for a laptop change often, I have returned and exchanged more than half of the laptops I brought. This Galaxy book pro 4 360 did not go back and is actually my daily driver I am writing this review on it right now. Besides the price thing I mentioned earlier the couple of things I wish were a little better are as follows. The keyboard. It's not bad at all but the key travel is pretty shallow. Thankfully it is tactile to some degree because I have a hard time typing when my fingers don't feel an actual click letting me know the key has been pressed. I def make more mistakes on this keyboard as opposed to a mechanical full size one. My only other gripe is the hinge is looser than other 2 in 1's I have used like the yoga for example. Now for the good. The screen is amazing and is the star of the show here. It gets over 550 nits of brightness and is very glossy so outdoors might suffer a little because of that but the colors and brightness look extremely vibrant. Of all the HDR laptop screens I have used this has the best balance of looking good in HDR and SDR mode. Also, I am least worried about this screen getting burn-in as opposed to any other OLED because Samsung has been making OLEDs in tablets that don't show any burn in after many, many years of use. The monitor on this is A++ So, this model has the core ultra 7 155h CPU/GPU combo with 16 GB memory built-in meaning you can't upgrade it. This is a solid setup for an Ultrabook to get a good performance battery ratio. Its not the most powerful thing in the world but it can handle all but the most extreme things you could possibly try to run on it. It is very slim so it does thermal throttle meaning it will slow itself down to produce less heat. While it does get hot when you are working it harder the cooling is very good and its not loud either. Being a 2 in 1 and the fact that it comes with a stylus let's talk about writing and drawing on this. To sum it up, it's amazing. This has the best palm rejection I have ever seen on a windows computer. My unit was open-box and missing the original stylus, but I was able to use my old Samsung tablet stylus, and it works perfectly as well as magnetizes to the rear of the screen. I think this is the 6th 2 in 1 I have drawn on and its no comparison when it comes to the smoothness and over performance of writing on this screen. This is the perfect artists' laptop. My personal rating for this is a 4.7 out of 5. This is an excellent machine, and I am very happy with this purchase. Like I said, I am hard to please and this checked all my boxes. Also, I am in the Samsung ecosystem, and this connects to my phone and tablet, so they all work together as one which makes this even more awesome. Just buy it already, you won't be disappointed!

I bought this Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 on sale and also used a $400 Verizon coupon, so my final price was $499. For that price, it’s… okay. This is not my main computer — I primarily use a MacBook Air M2. I only needed a Windows laptop for some specific work tasks, and for that role it mostly does the job. That said, coming from a MacBook Air M2, this laptop is definitely not in the same league. The keyboard and trackpad feel noticeably less comfortable and less refined after using a Mac — you can adapt, but the difference is obvious. The AMOLED display is great overall: vibrant colors, deep blacks, and it looks premium. However, there is a dynamic brightness mode that adjusts the backlight, and on dark scenes when you move windows around, you can clearly see patchy brightness changes, almost like blotches. Fortunately, this mode can be turned off, and once you do that, the experience is much better. The 2‑in‑1 design is actually one of the best parts. It folds into a large 16‑inch tablet, and it’s surprisingly fun to use on your lap, just sitting back and tapping the screen to play games or browse. Combined with the touchscreen, it makes the device feel much more versatile than a regular clamshell laptop. One big downside is how difficult it is to open the laptop quickly in an emergency. We accidentally spilled some liquid on the table and I tried to open the laptop as fast as possible. It was a pain: the rubber feet get in the way and the bottom panel is held not only by screws but also by stubborn clips. I did eventually manage to open it, and luckily there wasn’t much liquid and nothing got inside. While I had it open, I checked the thermals. Under load, some transistors on the motherboard were running at over 100°C, and there’s no real heat transfer from them, not even to the bottom cover. According to the specs I found, temperatures above 100°C are still within the normal operating range for those components (assuming I interpreted everything correctly), but it’s not exactly reassuring from a long‑term reliability perspective. Overall, for $499 it’s a decent secondary machine: nice AMOLED screen (once you disable the annoying dynamic mode), a useful touchscreen and tablet mode, and solid specs for the money. But if you’re used to the build quality, input devices, and overall polish of a MacBook Air M2, this will feel like a clear step down as a primary laptop.

The laptop is very good. Excellent finish. Premium. The battery could last a little longer. The screen is beautiful. What disappointed me most was the experience with the Samsung ecosystem. The buds 2 pro took too long to pair. Likewise, the integration with the s24 ultra cell phone is confusing. Sound does not flow well between devices. There are duplicate software and the annoying free antivirus. After some time, everything falls into place. Very good keyboard.The service in the store was excellent.

It's a good graphic design laptop; it meets all specifications, and the touch screen speeds up editing work. With its graphics cards, it's capable of running editing programs without problems. I've used it for high-graphics games, and it works very well; it runs them like a gaming laptop. It has some limitations, such as the battery and screen size, but it's a good compromise between work and play.

Love this laptop, needs to have ventilation under it or a fan

Samsung a lot of good stuff, and the Galaxy Book4 Pro is no exception. At this price point, you don’t miss out on many features, and if you’re in the Samsung ecosystem then this may give you the device inter-operability you’re looking for. What I like about this laptop: • The OLED screen is nice and bright. Of course, with OLED you get nice deep blacks as each pixel is individually lit, so any dark pixels are essentially just turned off. I also really appreciate how Samsung includes a couple of different color profiles for the screen that you can access in Windows Settings. • The screen size gives you PLENTY of real estate to work with. It makes it perfect for getting work done on the go. If you are a student or professional who needs to use split screen on a regular basis, this display will give you more than enough space to comfortably view 2+ windows at once. I personally set my scaling to 175% vs the standard 200% the laptop was set at out of the box, which can be adjusted in the Display Settings. • The 360* fully convertible laptop form factor is one that I have loved for years, but lately it seems like it may be going out of fashion. My old 360* convertible laptop was nearly 8-years old when I got this machine. What I love about this form factor is the ability to use this these laptops in virtually any way imaginable. Standard laptop form factor? An obvious check. Say you want to plug into an external monitor, but want to dual screen it with the built in laptop screen, however, you have a nice mouse and keyboard at your work station and prefer to not use the built in keyboard and trackpad. Well, fold the screen into tent mode and you’ve got yourself a nice two screen setup. Tent mode is also excellent for watching TV, movies and videos. Lastly, you can fold the device flat for a rather large tablet experience, which is pretty nice for drawing and general media consumption. • The build quality is high quality both in its presentation and how it feels when you carry it. I love the clean metallic look with the black backlit keyboard. The trackpad is GIGANTIC on this thing, though I’m not sure why but I don’t mind it. • Because of the extra real-estate provided by the overall bigger footprint of a large screen, you get a nice 10-key number pad on the right-hand side of the keyboard. This is a very welcome feature as I’m regularly plugging away in Excel for work and to keep track of personal finances. Generally, in the past I’d keep around a Bluetooth 10-key number pad but I no longer have to with this machine. • If you own other Samsung products, namely a phone or a tablet, then Samsung’s pre-installed applications give you some added bonus interoperability. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite, and I’m able to connect the Galaxy Book to it with the Second Screen app which allows me to use my mouse and keyboard seamlessly between my laptop and tablet. Also, any notes that I take with the Samsung notes app automatically sync across devices. It’s very nice, and pretty seamless. • The S-Pen that comes with the computer is similar to other S-Pens that come with other Samsung devices like my Tab S6 Lite. It doesn’t need to be recharged, and magnetically attaches to the back of the laptop’s screen when not in use, though you’ll want to remember to remove it from the back if you’re going to fold the screen back flat. • I love that laptops lately are coming almost standard with either 512Gb or even a full 1Tb like this laptop. I have a decently large digital media library stored up from over the years and I’m able to keep it all on this laptop, and still have tons of space for downloading new content. I imagine if you’re using this for some light gaming then the storage space may fill up more quickly. • Battery life on this machine is pretty incredible for my use. Using the laptop for about 2-3 hours a day I’m usually getting about 3 days of battery at a time. The EVO line of Intel processors has aimed to compete with the MacBooks and Arm based processors in terms of battery life, with a target range of 10-hours for this line of processors. I can say, with my uses including working in Excel, streaming video, misc. web surfing, photo editing, and occasional video and audio editing that I’m definitely getting close to this 10-hour target on a regular basis. • In terms of ports, you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and an HDMI port on the left-hand side. On the right you get a 3.5mm headphone out, a USB-A port, and a micro-SD card slot. The few things I didn’t like: • The device charges via one of the two Thunderbolt ports, so if you’re charging you will lose a port. • The S-Pen menu was not as quick to launch as I am used to with my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. After pressing the button, I was met with a spinning cursor letting me know Windows was thinking. It usually loads up in about 5-10 seconds. I hope this is fixed in a future update. • The Galaxy Book’s speakers aren’t the best I’ve ever heard on a laptop, but they certainly aren’t the worst I’ve heard either. The laptop features downward facing speakers, meaning in standard laptop mode they’re firing down towards your desk or lap. They sound okay in this form factor, but when you put the device into tent mode or fold it flat like a tablet the speakers instantly sound much better because they are then facing you. • What I miss about older 360* convertible laptops that this laptop lacks is a dedicated volume rocker and sleep button. It’s not my favorite device to use in tablet mode given I can’t easily toggle the device volume or put the device to sleep with a simple press of a physical button. • For some reason, whenever I turn up or down the laptop’s screen brightness I see the screen dim by regions at a time, they appear like bands across the screen darkening one at a time. I’ve not seen this with other OLED displays like my Asus Zenbook or my M4 iPad Pro. Hopefully this too can be fixed in a future software update. Generally, I really like this laptop. It has a lot going for it, but you pay a big price to get it. As I write this, the laptop is on sale for $1,299.99. At that $600 discount from its regular price, I would say buying this laptop is a no-brainer. At the normal price, I think there are other options you should weigh before choosing this device, and if you ultimately decide with the Galaxy Book 4 Pro you won’t be making a bad choice with this unit by any means.

TLDR - The Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 is an extremely solid (albeit low on value) slim/large screen ultrabook with an amazing screen. Mid tier performance and consistent thermal throttling hurt what would be a solid Windows alternative to what Apple currently has. For advanced office user/basic 2D art user with the included pen, you’ll have a very good experience. Screen/pen - I’ll start with what I consider the star of the show, the 2880x1800 120hz AMOLED display. You do not see a screen this amazing in a laptop very often, this has to be one of the best I’ve used. The resolution is so crisp at 16” that there are zero visible pixels; they could have easily gotten away with a 2560x1600 screen to maintain the 16:10 aspect ratio. The 120hz is great to have, but is mostly lost in the fact that the Arc GPU isn’t really for gaming. The foldability and pen capability push this slim beast even further, but the pen really seems like an afterthought, as there is no place to hold it/transport it with the laptop. (making it flat on 2 sides and then creating a channel above the keyboard or in the side, possibly near the also surprising Build/ports/input - I’m impressed that Samsung hasn’t pulled a full Apple, and gives you 2 x Thunderbolt 4 ports, a full size HDMI (GO SAMSUNG), 1 x USB A 3.2, 3.5mm headphone, and microSD reader. The whole thing feels crazy solid, even with the 360/2in1 flipped, it does not feel fragile. The keyboard is good/fine, not a ton of travel, but my slowish touch typing is easily maxed out on this keyboard. The touchpad, however, is one of the BIGGEST I have ever seen, let alone used. It’s to the point that I’m not sure without turning the sensitivity way down I would even use the whole thing. Palm detection seems to be on point. CPU/RAM/SSD - The current gen Ultra 7 included with the 4 Pro 360 is very snappy, offering plenty of performance for everyday use. One of the issues I’ve seen (using HWINFO64) is some thermal throttling on 1 or 2 cores while sitting on the desktop running updates in the background! Any CPU intensive task will consistently thermal throttle, but Samsung/Intel are letting the chip sit at the top of its thermal limit. Running a quick single run of Cinebench R23 vs longer 10 minute run shows variation between runs, but not a substantial amount, so you’ll at least have close to consistent performance if running CPU intensive tasks. The amount of included RAM is lower than should be included in this value range. It is not user upgradable, but at least it's running at a very speedy 7467 MT/s. The SSD is a mid/low tier Samsung OEM unit, decently snappy, but lower than average peak speeds, but won’t be noticed in normal/daily computing. GPU - Intel has really pushed Arc integrated graphics up a notch. Granted, this is a shared-memory, integrated GPU made by Intel, so you’re not talking class leading iGPU performance. It can pull over 60fps in some games at the lowest settings with scaling enabled however, as demonstrated pulling 62fps with the built in Forza Horizon 5 benchmark. It can maintain this performance even on battery, I tested playing Forza until the battery was almost dead. So it should be good enough for most users, as long as no intensive games are expected, or 3D modeling. Battery/charger - It’s obvious that the newest Intel chips are more power efficient, as I’m able to pull 6-10 hours of normal computing at lower brightness. Higher brightness with OLEDs really pulls the power, testing at mid-high brightness playing Forza only netted about an hour and a half of gaming, which still isn’t bad all things considered. The included USB-C power cord and charging brick are probably the only real disappointment. The cord and brick are what should come with a mid range phone, not a laptop of this level.

💪 BUILD: The build of the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 is definitely among some of the best I’ve used. Despite being 12.8mm thin, Samsung managed to use very rigid anodized aluminum which gives it a very confidence-inspiring feel while holding it, and it doesn’t really demonstrate any chassis flex across the whole chassis. It also weighs in at a mere 3.66lbs, so it’s very lightweight for a 16” 2-in-1 notebook. 🔌PORTS: Onboard this laptop is a pretty good port selection for such a thin and light laptop. ◾ 2x Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports. ◾ 1x HDMI 2.1 port ◾ 1x USB3.2 port ◾ 1x microSD card slot ◾ 1x 3.5mm combo audio jack You’ve got 2 full-function Thunderbolt 4 ports, one of which will have to be used for power when charging, but I appreciate that both Type-C ports have full Thunderbolt 4 capabilities—which is something you don’t always see these days. And having a USB-A port for other external devices is great since this will be helpful for external storage, mice, keyboards, headsets, webcams, etc. The microSD card slot can be useful for accessing data from some digital cameras and portable devices, and the 3.5mm audio combo jack is a must for a lot of folks who use wired headphones or headsets. 🔧 EXPANSION & UPGRADES: There are really no expansion capabilities for the Book4 Pro 360 outside of arguably the microSD card slot. The 16GB RAM is all soldered, and there is also only a single m.2 NVMe SSD slot, so if you want more onboard storage, you’ll need to replace the existing 1TB Samsung MZVL41T0HBLB-00B SSD. ⌨️ KEYBOARD & TOUCHPAD: The keyboard, I have mixed feelings about. The switches are low-travel, so they don’t depress very much. This is among the lowest I’ve used in recent times, and it just feels different to me. While I cannot reach my highest typing speeds of 110-120 wpm, I am noticing that I am surprisingly consistent on this keyboard after an initial adjustment period. On this keyboard, I typically achieve 90-100 wpm with minimal mistakes and surprising consistency. And despite the addition of the numpad, the keys themselves don’t feel any smaller than other laptops. The touchpad is quite large, and felt comfortable to use. It was easy to engage a left-click, and multi-touch gestures were also responsive. For larger touchpads like this one, I prefer to disable right-click on the touchpad and instead use a two-finger tap to simulate a right click, since I often find myself wanting to left-click while my finger is still on the right side of the touchpad. With it configured this way, I felt this large trackpad was excellent overall, and I didn’t experience palm rejection issues in my testing. 💻 DISPLAY: The 16” display on the Book4 Pro 360 is the star of the show for this laptop. It uses a touch-screen AMOLED display that sports a resolution of 2880x1800, and up to 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung also claims it achieves 120% volume of the DCI-P3 color space, so those who need to review color-sensitive video or simply want accurate colors can enable this color mode via the Samsung Settings app. There is also an sRGB mode and Adobe RGB mode for other types of color-sensitive calibration options. Whether you have professional applications for it, or you just want a nice display for viewing content, this AMOLED panel will deliver incredible contrast, and it also uses an anti-reflective glass to reduce glare in bright environments, and the Vision Booster feature can enhance color and contrast for viewing clarity in both indoor and outdoor environments. It might not be able to combat the sun under the brightest settings, but it should be excellent for bright indoor usage. The display is very responsive, especially while 120Hz is engaged, and the touch interactions are also very responsive. I don’t love using on-screen keyboards with displays of this size since I struggle to touch-type, but at least in my testing, the Book4 Pro 360 was very responsive to each finger press, even if I wasn’t very accurate with the on-screen keyboard. ✒️ PEN: Unlike other pens on the market, the included S Pen doesn’t require charging to use with the Book4 Pro 360. Once the pen tip is within a certain proximity of the display, it will be automatically detected and can be used. The single button on the S Pen only works while you’re in proximity of the display, so you can’t use it for other actions like a slideshow clicker or something. While I’m not a graphic artist, I did find that the S Pen was very responsive while writing. I’ve used a number of other pen-enabled Windows tablets over the years, and this has had the best latency and fluidity of any option I’ve personally tried. You’ll want to make sure that Windows is configured to recognize your dominant hand, otherwise palm rejection can be a bit finicky, but once I did that, it was impressive being able to have my handwriting converted into text. For creative apps like Photoshop, having the S Pen can enhance your workflow, and it can also be great for taking notes by hand, drawing diagrams and much more. I would have loved to have this back when I was in university because these tools have come a long way since then. 📹 WEBCAM & MICROPHONE: The webcam uses a 2.1MP sensor which yields a maximum resolution of 1080p@30fps. In appropriately-lit environments, the footage is decent, while really bright environments may yield blown out highlights, and dimly lit environments yield a lot of visual noise. Overall, it’s serviceable. You can also use the Windows Studio Effects for adding blur, forcing eye contact, and auto-framing. The dual-microphone array is also quite good. You can use the Realtek Audio Console to change the microphone recording profile for better noise rejection or clarity. In my experience, Stereo Enhanced or Uni-Directional modes were the most practical and had the best clarity for online meetings, but the Omni-Directional modes may be helpful if you host online meetings with multiple people physically in the room. 🔊 SPEAKERS & HEADPHONE: The speakers on the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 are definitely above average, but they aren’t among the best I’ve heard. Since this laptop functions as a 2-in-1, Samsung has opted to make the speakers bottom-firing so that they can still deliver a reasonably good experience while in tent mode. This means the sound will depend on the surface you put the laptop on. On a flat solid tabletop this will yield a brighter sound, while in tent mode, it’ll be less bright sounding and will lose some clarity. Despite this, the speakers get reasonably loud in either configuration. The speakers don’t deliver much bass quantity, but they do sound balanced. Frankly, it’s hard to expect too much from a chassis design this thin given its acoustic properties. But I’m overall happy with the execution here. In my testing of the 3.5mm combo audio jack, headphones like the Sennheiser HD560S will sound as you would expect them to. However, headphones with lower sensitivity or higher impedance may not be able to reach comfortable volume, and may also have their frequency response negatively impacted by the lack of power. ⚡ PERFORMANCE: Across my usage, the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 was able to sustain a snappy experience other than a few outlier situations. Even in the Silent performance profile, running the Edge browser with a ton of chrome extensions and multiple tabs, Discord, music apps and other productivity applications, the laptop never really felt like it was limited on performance, which is not something I often see on laptops like this. GIven that this is an Intel Evo Edition laptop, that does mean Intel does validate some elements of the design, and whatever Samsung is doing here is working really well. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H isn’t even the fastest Intel Core Ultra CPU I’ve used, but this laptop performs significantly better on battery under the Silent mode than some other laptops on their Performance modes. Plugged in and under the higher performance modes, this laptop is capable of much more like software development (albeit within reason given the 16GB RAM). And even under load, the fans are not egregiously loud. But for day-to-day usage, I didn’t really hear the fans and the laptop remained very responsive during usage. The integrated Intel Arc Graphics can hold up reasonably well on lower settings for games, but Intel still has a way to go in terms of driver stability. Some newer Unreal Engine games crash on Intel Arc, so I couldn’t really play or test them. Many 2D games will work well, while 3D games may have varying success as driver compatibility improves. While the performance isn’t breaking barriers, it’s a lot better than previous generations of Intel’s integrated graphics. 🔋 BATTERY: For mixed usage scenarios, the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 delivers decent but not record-breaking battery life. Even enabling the “Battery Saver” mode on the Quiet profile, you could achieve around 9 hours of basic usage, and I think there’s potentially some room to improve if the CPU could be further downclocked at the cost of performance. But overall, I think many folks will find that the battery performance is decent, but not competitive with the best performers on the market. However, in an overnight standby test with Battery Saver mode enabled, I noticed a 4% battery depletion in a 12 hour period. So from 100%, it could reach 0% in under 2 weeks purely on standby. 🧐 CONCLUSION: Overall, the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 is a good laptop with a few compromises that don’t really concern me very much when it comes to general mixed use. I have especially enjoyed using it on battery while browsing, watching videos, listening to music, and writing this review. With that said, it really lacks upgradability, so you should really consider that when evaluating your options. And while I do like the laptop overall, there’s no denying that the asking price is pretty exorbitant. My advice is to wait for it to go on sale.

So I say "near perfect" as there is always something to be improved - and in the case of this Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro, to me it would be the Stylus (pen) placement/storage, a better graphics card and longer battery life - although I'm usually near a power outlet. Overall - this is a very nice product. The AMOLED screen is awesome and crisp. This makes both streaming and working a pleasure on the eyes. If you haven't experienced OLED yet - you'll be amazed at the colors and contrast! Thanks for doing that Samsung! The 1TB SSD is snappy and ranks in the 80%+ of all consumer SSD drives based on performance. The RAM performance isn't quite as good rank about 50% of all consumer based RAM with the weakest point being the lack of a dedicated graphics card. I "rank" all my machines and my machines at work with a performance testing tool. Attached is a graphic of the results from this computer - and this is a decent score. Fresh outta the box, this Samsung is better than 2/3rds of tested machines. Due to that - note that this is NOT a gaming machine - again mostly due to the lack of a dedicated graphics card. The speakers are underneath the device are good - just not quite enough bass for me when watching action movies, so I'll use a bluetooth speaker or connect to my stereo for a more full experience. Keyboard is great - feel solid and well built - no complaints there. Again - very happy with the product and feel it is well built to last for years!

Great laptop overall, especially the screen, that’s exactly why I bought it! Colors are vibrant, brightness is excellent, viewing angles perfect. Watching movies is a pure pleasure. Slim and lightweight design honestly 5/5 on almost everything. But I’m giving it 4 stars because of one really frustrating issue: out of nowhere it stopped recognizing my PIN, and fingerprint login completely broke too. Never had anything like this in 20+ years of using Windows. Had to mess with recovery options, and it ended up causing data loss on the drive. Should always keep backups on an external drive - lesson learned the hard way. AI pointed out this seems to be a known software glitch on some of these Intel Evo / newer models. Super disappointing bug that spoiled the experience a bit. Still recommend the laptop, but with a big caveat set up reliable backups and have a Microsoft account password ready as a fallback. Don’t rely only on PIN/fingerprint.

First and foremost for the money you can probably find a better laptop but if you you are in the Samsung ecosystem it's a great addition seamlessly using a Samsung tablet as a second monitor, being able to see and control and use your Samsung phone with the laptop is very convenient. The screen is beautiful. The battery life and performance are both very good but great. Comes with spen which will won't on any S(xx) Ultra phone you have.
This review is from Samsung - Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 2-in1 16" AMOLED Touch Screen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 - 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Moonstone Gray

After a sale I got this for $900, which I is worth it. The computer is very sleek, and works well. Battery lasts a pretty long time. My only complaint is the 16 gb of ram. Seems like not a whole lot. And ive ran into issues once or twice already with it. If you have a samsung phone the connection between the two is convenient.

[Employee of bestbuy] I love this computer. It's slim, fast, portable, and beautiful. Unfortunately there are some drawbacks. The main issue that I have with this computer is that it will regularly let the CPU temp reach over 100 C. That is a CPU killer and regularly letting it do that will kill the computer in less than a year. The OLED screen is beautiful, and the S-pen compatibility is very nice.

The laptop screen would flicker whenever watching Netflix so i had to adjust the display settings and adjust the size and graphics. The fan is a bit loud whenever you play vigorous games. But other than that this laptop is amazing it flips 360, turning into a tablet basically and it even comes with a stylus that is magnetic and just overall super nice to have and use.

Computer does its job admirably, lasting multiple plane flights and serving its function with relatively painless ease. I use this most as an art tool and for those purposes I do appreciate the tools it allows me to use. Pros: Bright AMOLED screen 360 degree folding hinge holds up. 1tb of storage does the job Hardware is speedy enough Wattage needed to charge significantly smaller- I can charge it off any 65W usb c charger. I even charge this off my main computer. Cons: OBO means you only get what's in the box. Missing features on this one include: - No Pen - The feet were not replaced so there's no space when the screen is folded completely for the intake fans. - Fingerprint sensor needed a hard reset Other cons: Airflow- restricted. Maybe if it had feet the computer would have space to actually breathe. Palm Refection- because of the heating issue, the sensor detects a drawpalm as a finger (common issue with pen screens not unique to this)

I bought this laptop because I liked the screen size, hard drive space, and memory. I also was interested in the integration of the Samsung apps to use with my Samsung phone and Samsung tablet. I've had this laptop for a few weeks now and overall I really like this laptop. It's very lightweight. The screen size is excellent but it's also very thin. I can see where this screen could break easily. With past experience with other laptops that can be turned into tablets, I have not tried turning this laptop into tablet mode given the screen and not wanted to break the laptop. The keyboard is the perfect size for me. I like having the number pad on the right hand size and it's easy to type on. The touchpad is very large but it took me some time to adjust the sensitivity settings on the laptop. It was very sensitive and got very frustrating when typing. I also had to customize more to my liking. There are a few things I do dislike about the laptop which is why I didn't give it a 5 start. The first thing is how hot this laptop gets when using a lot of processing power. The vents are located on the bottom which was not designed very well especially if this laptop will be sitting on your laptop. The second issue is the laptop charging cord itself. It's very short compared to other laptops I've used in the past that have longer cords. I like how it's simply designed but just wish it was longer.

This is a very premium machine. The screen is excellent, performance is really great. It also has the Samsung ecosystem particulars like Samsung Notes, Quick Share and things like that. It misses being a five-star only because it's larger and heavier than I would like, and the keyboard really takes some getting used to. The key press depth is quite shallow, and at first this resulted in even poorer than my usual subpar typing accuracy. I'm happy to say though, that after several weeks, I'm typing better and the keyboard doesn't feel as weird as it did at first. Still... Samsung, at this price point you should be doing better in keyboard department.

It's lightweight, durable, easy to use. 2N1 works great! The stylus is a great additional tool to use, I am still exploring all the features and look forward to at least a good 2 years with this!

I was really interested in a well made laptop that basically does the regular day to day tasks and a little extra. I really love this laptop. Battery life is great, software runs amazing.

The arrow keys are a little small but overall I am happy with the performance and battery life. I got this for school work and it performs flawlessly compared to my other laptop.
