SAMSUNG 15.6” Galaxy Book2 Pro Laptop Computer, i7 / 16GB / 512GB, 12th Gen Intel Core Processor, Evo Certified, Lightweight, 2022 Model, Graphite

This is my first non-Mac computer in 15 years, and all I can say is Apple lost my business for not making a 15" MacBook Air. Hopefully some day in the near future. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro is a wow machine though!!To have a like for like comparison I bought a MacBook Air (13.3") and The Galaxy Book2 Pro (15.6") together ... and the 15.6" Samsung is lighter than the 13.3" MacBook Air!! Let that sink for a bit. The dog-eat-dog world has gotten so crazy that 15.6" laptops have gotten lighter than 13.3" Ultra-premium laptops!!! What a wonderful time to be alive :)About the Samsung Galaxy Book2Pro:The Pros:1. Great Display - Easily better than the MacBookAir (No, I don't mean that the blacks are better, or picture is sharper. Just that a 15.6" inch AMOLED display will any day blow away a 13.3" inch Retina display. Not because is AMOLED is better than Retina, but that 15.6" vs 13.3" is a hump that you can not cross.2. Insanely light weight: This is perhaps the lightest laptop that I have handled. The fact that it is 15.6" laptop is insane!3. Noise: I believe that there is a fan, however I have never heard it. So far I use it to Code - AI/ML and consume media (Hi-Def movies/Series)4. Keyboard and track-pad - High-quality keyboard and trackpad. I don't click on the track-pad, but tap instead. That makes the experience ultra-premium and noiseless.5. Connections: While it is true that anyone plonking 4 figure $$ for a laptop, can also buy $20-$30 connectors, it does feel good to have a HDMI out built in along with 2 USB-Cs, 1 USB-A, and one micro-SD card. This an AHA moment - with the MicroSD card slot, you can expand your storage by orders of Terabytes as Micro-SD cards become increasingly cheaper.The meh:1. Battery life: - I am not one to drain my battery life entirely or reduce brightness to reduce recharge frequencies. As such I see that I have to recharge at the end of 8-9 hours. Not majorly complaining, but I would say that it will worsen with age.The Bad:1. The Stickers: It is down-right fugly when there are stickers on your laptop. I have one for energy star and one for Intel Evo. I wish these things would stop on Windows laptops.2. The speakers: I cant really hear a difference in loudness as compared to my MacBook Air, but these speakers are not very loud.3. The Hinge: The screen hinge wobbles (ever so slightly). It remains set once the angle screen angle is fixed, but I was disappointed to find screen-wobble, having come from the Mac-world.Overall - Is this a MacBook killer? - Depends. You can get a fully souped-up MacBook Air - 8 Core CPU and 8 Core GPU, 16GB Ram and 1 TB SSD for $1650 (at the time of writing). The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro costed me about $1150. While the MacBook Air is fan-less, and will have more power and battery life - It will always be heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro, and have a smaller screen, not to mention $500 more expensive. That is what it comes down to. I am going to keep this laptop, since as of now Apple has nothing to compete in the 15" ultra-light, ultra-premium laptop space.

I bought this for work and it is AMAZING!. The screen looks way better than the monitors I normally have connected to it. This thing is incredibility lite and thin. The speed is wonderful as because its my work computer I always have a lot of things running on it (Many programs, 100 browser tabs open, etc.). No slowdowns at all. The only thing I do not like about it is the finish is easily finger printed up and this goes for the shinny screen too (I wish it was matte).Summery:I demand a lot out of my computer and if they only thing I can complain about is finger prints then it's great.

Welp, I've been using it perfectly well until today when it decided not to charge any more. I'm trying to fix the problem but who knew it would die so fast? The charger is fine and can charge my phone, the outlet works fine, but it won't charge. The battery is not removable, so I can't even try the method that they posted on the website. Those who are considering, make sure to register the product and get a warranty. If not, get something else.

Best item, best product. Thanks A+

Review de usuario un poco más avanzado y que conoce los detalles pequeños importantes.Puntos buenos 👍1.- La pantalla es excelente a pesar de ser 1080p (los colores y el hecho de que sea amoled con los negros perfectos).2.- Lo delgada y ligera le da mucha comodidad.3.- Para escuela, trabajo y edición de videos o fotos a nivel medio es excelente, no me causó problemas de lag ni nada parecido.4.- Tamaño de 15.6 inch, es el indicado, vengo de una MacBook Pro de 13inch, esas 2 pulgadas es la diferencia que personalmente no sabía que necesitaba.5.- Las conexiones de cables son las justas.Puntos malos: 👎1.- La batería, en las reviews comentaban que duraría bastante, pero vengo de la MacBook Pro m1 y la diferencia es abismal.2.- El sonido deja que desear, si quieres ver series, películas o escuchar música (necesitarás de un parlante externo Bluetooth o por cable)3.- El brilló no es tan alto como me gustaría, me parece que son 500 nits, son suficientes pero si hallan sido al menos 800 halla sido más que perfecto.Esos son mis puntos de a cuerdo a mi experiencia de hace ya más de 1 año que la adquirí.

I liked its sleak and less weight , it had all factors of modern laptops and requirements...but it got heat after long use and keys on keyboards are not that comfortable,very close each other....overall its good for light weight and size but not for long typing and screen shiny for not long use.

Very light. I was a little worried about whether it would hold up but the ports and screen hinge are still great a few months in. Keyboard layout just a touch different than what I'm used to (MS, dell, etc.) so it took a few days to get used to.Since I use of the USB-C ports for charging and the other for an external monitor, I'll probably look for some kind of dock as a supplement.

Product is excellent.
