Q: NOTE TAKING, SKETCHING, AND DRAWING

A: The Spin does not have an active digitizer like the Surface Pro and Spectre x360. That means it can only use the same type of stylus that you can use on an ipad/iphone, etc. No palm rejection.

Q: With Samsung planning to sell off their PC division, are they still going to provide support for this device? That's my only concern holding me back from buying this.

A: Having RMA'ed this product once already and because of the work (or lack thereof) would have again, I can honestly say it was the worst customer service I have ever received for warranty work anywhere. Samsung contracts a questionable repair shop in texas to do all the repairs and they did more damage to my laptop than it had when I sent it out to them and then rubbed dirt on it. When I complained to Samsung they just gave me the contact info for the shop and closed the ticket. Well the shop didn't care if I was unhappy because Samsung had already paid them, so no resolution at all. If you're worried about warranty issues get the Best Buy warranty because I guarantee if you send your device out to be repaired where samsung uses you will wish you hadn't.

Q: Battery Life

A: I've only had it for a couple of days but I've been getting a solid 6+ hours so far. But then again, it hasn't been on max brightness either. And I don't do much but check basic things and research online. Maybe average 3-4 tabs open on Chrome.

Q: Screen Protection?

A: The Samsung info actually says to not put a screen protector on it.

Q: What color is the backlighting on the keyboard?

A: The back-light is white and it is also able to be dimmed through the samsung settings.

Q: SD Card

A: Yes is sits flush and I am using a 200GB card, purchased on Amazon for about $100.00.

Q: What is the best 2 in 1 device on the market right now?

A: This laptop is perfect in every way if you're just using it for simple tasks such as Web browsing. The user experience and connectivity to my galaxy s6 edge plus was phenomenal. Only problem is if you use a higher intensive program, the battery life suffers drastically. Otherwise the laptop is perfect and I would rate it a 11/10 if it weren't for the battery life from my experience owning it. In case I didn't make it clear enough, it's connectivity user experience with galaxy phones is phenomenal and extremely user friendly and well designed.
