I'm absolutely thrilled with this laptop! I bought this laptop as a thin and very portable development workstation. I do a lot of development in Rust, Go, and C++, and I really enjoy using the Intellij line of IDEs. For those that know, they are very memory hungry, and CPU and storage speed are really important. This laptop is an absolute champ when it comes to that workload!!! I could not be more impressed and often forget I'm not using my powerful desktop most of the time. The Intel Iris XE graphics are also very capable for what I need, and they are definitely a big jump over previous generations of integrated graphics chips. You can play WoW on medium settings and get consistent 60fps, and games like Minecraft are no problem either unless you go with heavy shader packs. Without shaders and most settings set to max I easily get 150-200fps in Minecraft Java Edition. The WiFi is also very capable; on my fiber 1Gb network, I consistently get 700-800Mb/s download speeds and 400-500Mb/s upload speeds on WiFi. The only downside for me is that the USB-C ports are both on the same side and that they don't support charging the laptop.

It took me a bit to get used to the smaller size (and getting used to Win 11). But the lighter weight is much appreciated and the screen clarity makes the smaller size less noticeable. It's much easier to haul into meetings and on trips. It's fast (especially the start up), and hasn't let me down yet. The battery last twice as long as my last laptop.

Laptop has the basics of everything and runs fast! The touch screen portion is a plus for me since I can click on things easily instead of using the track pad or a mouse. I think it would be very beneficial for artists as well so long as they purchase the S-pen for CSP which came for free as a trial run on this laptop. The only con which I think doesn't bother me, but may bother others, is that the screen is small with 13 inches.

This laptop is nice option for moderate power users who wants a something compact but also something that can handle computational intensive tasks. Certainly powerful enough to handle Adobe Premier and even many games the latest generation of Intel’s IG (Iris XE) delivers. Coupled with an i7 and 16GB of memory this Samsung is quite capable. Though more RAM would be nice upgrade this laptop seems to handle most tasks with ease.

So far so good - fast, fairly light and portable with great screen and solid build. Some keyboard glare in less than full lighting. Not sure the battery will last more than 10 hours as advertised (haven't taken it to a low battery state to check but the estimated life never show more than 5-6 hours). Good deal compared with competition - I did consider Apple but did not think it was worth the price for what you get. Synchs well with phone.

Excellent laptop...QLED display is sharp, as good as any high end display...Keypad is not cramped with good tactile feel...i7 with 16GB RAM make multitasking a breeze...Samsung utilities work well to keep it updated all the time. The Shift key on the right is truncated which may be a hinderance for some initially, but it is easy to get used to it. Cant beat it for the Value too.

I bought this during a sale and with the spec that it was equipped and the price it was selling for, I just couldn't pass it up. It's small and compact, solid design, and has OLED display that's under $700, I was lucky enough to grab one of the last one in the store. I carry this thing everywhere, watch movies, email and web browsing, and some photo editing, this makes a perfect little device for everyday use.

This computer is very fast in a compact size. I have run a lot of tabs and applications and I haven't run into any lagging or glitching. Sometimes you can hear the fan but it isn't loud and it's ignorable. I wish it came with a stylus like the galaxy book pro but you can get an alternative like the Wacom bamboo ink stylus. It's display is beautiful and stunning.

I've had this for 2 years now and not much to complain about other than that it does get hot under load and a little loud. The tablet mode is really convienient as well as the backlit keyboard. The small size is also really nice since its not like a brick in your backpack and easy to use in lectures since most of the "desks" are really tiny

Fantastic Laptop, Fast, QLED, All day battery

This is a pretty expensive laptop, but worth the money. The processor is very fast. Build quality is fantastic and the battery life is unbelievable. The QLED display is extremely bright and good colors.
Windows 11 set-up was smooth, but it will take some getting used-to as Microsoft once again made significant changes to the user interface from Windows 10.
At this price point I would have expected a 1TB SSD. However the SSD is a standard NVMe (M.2) type which are readily available.
Battery life is easily 12 hours without any accessories plugged-in. Using an external USB HDD dropped the battery life to 6 hours (fortunately I don't do that very often).
The power plug is very small and I'm concerned about breakage, though I haven't had any issues so-far.

Great little computer. I love the size and how light weight it is. I Have struggled to get it set up and working well but I think that is more likely my issues than the computers. Over all I'm fairly happy with how well it performs. I expected it to be a bit faster but all in all its a great machine for the price.
