It works really well. The only drawback I see is that it gets hot at the bottom sometimes. The heat could be due to lack of cooling vents on the bottom panel.

If you haven't used a new laptop in a few years -- especially a flagship ultrabook model, like the Galaxy Book series -- prepare to be surprised. Great strides have been made in power, efficiency and battery life in the past two or three years alone, and it's now possible to have a thin, light computer with few, if any, compromises.
Coming from a mixed Mac and PC world, I have been particularly impressed with the progress Windows machines have made. I've always wanted a 2-in-1 type machine, where the unit can do some acrobatics to make it more like a tablet when you want to use the touchscreen. As soon as I saw the new Galaxy Book2 360 announcement, my interest was piqued.
While I'm not a Samsung phone user, I've always admired their bright, punchy screens, with high resolutions and deeply saturated colors. It's hard to beat an OLED touchscreen, and the Galaxy Book line uses Samsung's premier sAMOLED displays. I'm a stickler for screen quality, as it's what you'll be staring at and interacting with every time you use your machine. Combine that with high-end internals and a svelte package and you should have the ultimate ultrabook, right?
My Galaxy Book2 360 unit arrived neatly packaged in a slim carboard box, which was easy to open and contained hardly any plastic, which I greatly appreciate. Contents are sparse, with just the laptop, USB-C cable and USB-C wall charger included. The cable and charger are well-made and sized for portability while still providing a very fast charge. Nice!
I was immediately impressed with the build quality of the Galaxy Book2 360. It is both small and light without feeling flimsy, with hardly any flex in the aluminum chassis. The hinges glide open and closed smoothy, with a solid feel to them, and they have no trouble holding the screen at just about any angle without flexing or bouncing around while you type. The Galaxy Book2 360 includes a nice selection of ports, including both USB-C and some legacy options, which is very helpful for connecting accessories without a myriad of dongles. The built-in webcam isn't anything to write home about (and the Galaxy Book2 Pro models include an upgraded version), but it gets the job done with a decent, if grainy, picture. Perfectly fine for on-the-go video calls, but if you want to look your best, you'll want to invest in a good external camera.
Speaking of typing, I'm also very pleased with the quality of the keyboard and trackpad on the Galaxy Book2 360. The chicklet-style keys are pretty fantastic to type on, with enough travel and feedback to know you've hit the right one. Backlighting is included and adjustable, and the function row up top includes the usual useful shortcuts, accessible by pressing the function button and the key together, or by activating the function lock feature. The top right corner key functions as the power/sleep button and the integrated fingerprint reader, which is lightning-fast and conveniently located. The trackpad is just about as large as it can be on a 13.3" machine, with plenty of room to move and a very accurate touch surface. Multitouch gestures all work well, and while only the bottom portion of the touchpad is hinged for clicking, it's a satisfying movement and sound.
With the latest Intel "evo" i7 processor and a healthy 16GB of RAM on board, this machine truly whizzes through most everyday tasks. Booting up and waking from sleep are wicked fast, with the fingerprint reader often unlocking the machine before the screen even wakes from sleep. None of my everyday web browsing, email or document editing could slow this thing down, with instant app-switching and smooth graphics all around. The Galaxy Book2 360 came with Windows 11 preinstalled, and after a healthy round of software updates everything has been running well. The machine runs silently most of the time, with the fans occasionally kicking on with heavy-duty programs open. The only sustained fan running I have observed is when I connected the laptop to my 27" 4K monitor through a USB-C hub interface, which kept the fans running nonstop. They're not super loud, but they're certainly noticeable. Samsung does allow you to switch to a "quiet" mode in addition to the regular Windows power settings if the fans bother you, but this will throttle the processor and graphics, which could be an issue depending on what you're working on.
Speaking of Samsung, I was a bit concerned about what the manufacturer may have included preinstalled on this computer, as Samsung is a bit notorious for having a heavy hand when it comes to customization on their Android phones. The Galaxy Book2 360 is no different, with more than 20 Samsung apps preinstalled on the machine. Thankfully it's easy to uninstall everything you don't need, which I did straightaway without issue. None of the apps gave me any issues, though, and some (like the Samsung Settings app) are very useful for customizing your experience beyond what the Windows Settings menus offer. The only app to really annoy me was the McAfee antivirus app, which popped up repeatedly asking me to subscribe, but a quick uninstall took care of that too.
So what about that screen, a big part of the reason I selected this machine? I have to say, my feelings are mixed. On the one hand, Samsung's sAMOLED has bright, accurate colors and the deep, inky blacks only an OLED screen can produce. The touchscreen aspect is highly accurate, as expected, and while an S Pen is not included with this model I was able to test one out, and accuracy here is pretty good too. Not as good as Apple's Pencil, but plenty good for light writing and drawing use, at least in my limited testing. I also appreciate the ability to change display modes and adjust the color tone of the screen using the Samsung Settings app. I found the default setting too bright and too blue, but a few tweaks later and I'm happy.
My biggest complaint is the screen resolution, which is only full HD at 1920x1080. All the color and contrast in the world can't hide the fact that you can see the individual pixels of the screen as you get closer, roughly 12-18 inches away. No, it's not a low-resolution screen by any means, but in a world used to 4K, Retina and PixelSense displays, this one (to me) is a noticeable step down. Now from a normal typing distance and a good screen angle things are perfectly fine, but get too close or tip the screen wrong and you'll start to see the fuzz in text and around details. Having been using 4K monitors and Retina displays full-time for the past few years the difference in resolution was jarring for me at first. I've gotten more used to it as I've adjusted to this machine, but I still notice it every day. Your mileage may vary with this -- if you're used to an older machine or full HD monitor, you'll have no problem, but if you've been using only high-res screens, you might be a little troubled. Though less of an issue, my other complaint is that this is also a 16:9 screen, meaning it's much wider than it is tall. 16:10 screens are becoming more popular, and for good reason: they give you a noticeable increase of height in the display, which really helps when scrolling documents or web pages. With the large black bar at the bottom of the display I have to wonder why Samsung didn't stretch things out a few more rows. It would have greatly improved productivity IMHO.
Overall, this is a fantastic machine -- lightweight and portable, yet solidly-built and a joy to type on; wicked fast but with all-day battery life; a 360-degree hinge and touchscreen for a wide range of usage scenarios. I'm just a little let down by the screen. It's got fantastic colors and viewing angles, but the 1920x1080 resolution and 16:10 size make it a step down for me. If those things don't bother you, though, I don't think you can go wrong with this Galaxy Book2 360 at all.
