Customers are pleased with the Galaxy Book S's impressive battery life, lightweight design, and responsive touchscreen. Many also appreciate the device's compact size and the clarity of its camera. Positive feedback highlights its build quality and the inclusion of LTE connectivity for on-the-go use. The ample SSD storage is also frequently praised.
The first thing you will notice about the Galaxy Book S is its build quality. The screen is backed by what feels like a sturdy aluminum shell. The keyboard has a great tactile feel to it, and the display is clear and sharp. The power button in the top right of the keyboard doubles as a fingerprint reader. When folded up the device is less than 1/2 in thick and the aluminum top makes it durable. It weighs just enough to let you know it is made of quality materials but not enough to weigh you down. I have been using this thing at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Battery life so far has been great and since it charges via USB-C, you can plug it into your car’s charger on a road trip and have never ending juice! For such a small tablet/laptop it has outstanding sound. A headphone jack and Bluetooth functionality make watching movies or other content on the go super easy. The Windows operating system is snappy and familiar as it works essentially the same as your PC. My Galaxy Book S has been seeing the most use as the perfect distance education device. All three of the kids have been doing school via different distance learning mediums. The touch screen makes it easy and intuitive for our youngest to use and the device is powerful enough to handle all the apps/software the older kids use. The 720P camera, headphone connection, and Bluetooth make Zoom meetings for school a breeze. The ability to add a Bluetooth mouse when you are deskbound helps with games and other entertainment functions. My two older kids play Roblox on this thing all the time! I have owned several Samsung tablets over the years, and still own two older ones. I also own two laptops. I find myself and the kids preferring the Galaxy Book S over all the other devices due mostly to its versatility and sheer convenience. You can use it anywhere for almost anything. It has replaced at least three of my other devices. I will be purchasing a second Galaxy Book S so we don’t have to split time with just this one. If you are considering a tablet or phablet, or smaller laptop. Give this thing a look, it is worth your time.

Sleek, Thin and Sturdy. The best laptop I ever had. The battery life is pretty good and i can work all day with it. I also love the keyboard, it has a nice feel to it and looks high quality. The camera is very clear for videos and pictures. The performance is fast. I used multiple application at the same time, and don't see any lag in performance. I like the advanced features like the Touchscreen. Surfing internet is fun with this laptop, watching videos with great screen display and audio. And even for office work, it is very reliable. Very advance that i can use it like a tablet with the touchscreen feature. I can also use it as a computer with its keyboard. I would be very proud to bring this anywhere i go. Fancy looking, high end, lightweight and has the perfect size. Samsung did a great job with this Laptop

I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest feedback. I own several Samsung products so I had high expectations for this laptop. Upon arrival, I was impressed with how lightweight it is. I also liked that it included everything that I would need to work from anywhere. The main thing I love about the Galaxy Book S is the screen resolution. Its screen produces a crisp and beautiful image. Which makes not only working but streaming movies and videos great! I also love its size, it fits perfectly in my shoulder bag and because of its weight, I can carry it for long periods of time. Another great thing about it is how fast it boots. And it handled everything I did on it nicely. This laptop has a capacity of 256 / 512GB SSD, two USB-C ports, and a headphones jack. The keyboard offers a great experience with its smooth shallow keystroke. Something else that I really liked about it is that its quiet. Thanks to its ARM chip that is energy efficient this laptop doesn't need a cooling fan. So even if my little guy is napping right next to me I can work without waking him up. I also can't forget to mention that the trackpad is very responsive, which makes using it amazing! This is definitely a great laptop that will get you through a full day of work plus fun things like watching movies and videos. This is definitely something that I know I will recommend to anyone looking for a lightweight and powerful laptop. Because it's from Samsung I am not surprised that it not only met my expectations it exceeded them.
