lightest Ultra book with the best screen and powerful performance
By Phoenix on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2022
In love with the laptop, but i am not arguing its the best laptop for everyone.I bought this laptop during Blackfriday of 2021. I had 3 choices back then Xps 13 for $650 , 128gb version of Surface laptop 4 for $699 , the 13.6 inch version of this laptop at $699 and this one for $749. For me the most important things for my laptop were 1) extremely lightweight as I travels a lot 2) the best possible screen 3)without compromising performance . The reason why i opted this laptop over other choices are 1) 128gb ssd on surface can be extremely problematic in the long run, this one comes with 4x the ssd size, also surface came with a Ryzen processor, even though pretty much comparable to i5 11 we have here i have a personal preference for intel, however i still think surface have a better screen , but i dont trust the touch screens much when it comes to life. 2) The only real advantage over xps 13 is the Amoled screen, 3) i eventually went for 15.6 inch purely because the price went down from $749 to $600 while the price for 13.6 remained at 699. I wish to mention that similar version of LG gram was also being sold around the price of $750 during that time. I have seen one of those and the back of screen fluxes in and out if you press. For Samsung its more rigid on top, but do have little bit flexing on the bottom. ps: It looks like a very fragile laptop and needs extra care while handling . I am an extremely light user , so I dont really know how well the laptop can dissipate heat when handling prolonged high end use. I have a galaxy phone, so the Samsung note app and Quickshare were extremely pleasant surprises and are extremely useful.

The product includes a video which demonstrates a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEVICE! Why can I not fold the device like he shows? Why can I not touch the screen as he is, or is this not the same "history of devices" BS they are talking about in the video?! The device is not touch screen.... so how futuristic is that? I am so dissapointed, I thought this was going to be like a PC but with touchscreen and samsung apps to link with my phone. What I received is not anything like I was expecting.

Great laptop screen, very light weight. Worth the price when on discount, but a tough sell at list.

The 15.6 inch Samsung Galaxy Book Pro was one of my shortlisted laptops because i wanted the larger screen size but without the weight that usually requires. I saw a flash deal on this machine and snapped it up - I got a good deal for my investment. There were initial teething issues with the machine because the video drivers it came with glitched when you moved windows over the screen but a Samsung update that autodownloaded fixed that issue. Aside from that there are a few other eccentricities such as a phantom camera device that appears in skype but the actual camera device is there and works fine. The only real downside for the model is the speakers are not very good quality - the volume is ok but there is no bass to the sound so its tinny. If you do need decent sound then either add headphones or speaker or shop for something else, if you want a really light machine with great big display then get a galaxy book pro when the price is right!
Thin, beautiful SCREEN.

The screen is amazing. Laptop.is extremely thin. Lightweight. Only con, is the the mousepad "click" is horribly loud and feels extremely cheap. Beautiful laptop. Very satisfied. Charges with USB type C 65w charger. Had a issue with the $100 gift card you're supposed to get but Amazon realized quickly.
A great ultralaptop.

The screen is amazing. The weight is so light. It is thinner than an iPad Pro with keyboard. The keyboard is perfect - the one that I love most in comparison with those of HP, Asus, Acer, Fujitsu, LG Gram and of course Apple that I have. The battery is great. I can travel all day without worrying about charging. However, if you need to charge, the charger is light, small but very powerful. It can charge the battery full in more than one hour.

1+ Months of usage, experience

The laptop is very light, thinner than my samsung note20ultra, screen is one of the best oled i've seen, deffinetly better than my phones amoled, maybe because its bigger but the colours are more vibrant especially red and blue on the laptop. The audio i seen reviews claiming audio sound is very poor, but i will disagree the sound with dolby atmos enabled is beautiful, of course it lacks base but you cant write that off because of that. I am using mostly for stock market trading, running few cpu demanding softwares, even on fanless mode it can handle it but it is slower. Enabling optimized fan mod runs smoothly. Grabbed 15 incher on a deal for $699 if you can get for similar price is deffinetly a steal. I bought two laptops this year from amazon and i can say first was $450 and for this quallity i'd pay double since the first one is lacking quallity in many ways. Giving 5 stars only down side is i live in europe and the charger provided doesnt fit my outlet, but i use my phone's usbc to charge it takes a bit longer but its ok.

Bought it for my dad. It's perfect for him, especially since he's comfortable with the Windows system. The screen is large and lightweight. He mainly uses MS Word, does some simple internet browsing, and watches videos with it. So far, no issues.
Serious flaws

The screen is great. Very vivid colors. But the touchpad is very annoying with the cursor dancing all over. Similarly the light touch keyboard dances as well. Finally, the battery charger cord on the computer is black on black and hard to see, unlike the easy hookup with Apple. The dancing features might be fixable but I have spent way too much with Samsung diy documentation and google inquiries. There are many really good computers that do not have these annoyances.
Touchpad is pretty finicky and webcam is a bit grainy.

Laptop is super lightweight to the point where it seems like one of those prop laptops you see in Ikea room set ups haha Other things I like are that it runs pretty fast with an SSD, it charges very quickly and battery lasts a SUPER long time, and the number pad is very useful. Otherwise some of the gripes I have with the laptop is that the touchpad is finicky and keeps on doing other functions when I'm just trying to scroll with two fingers and you have to hold down the Fn key in order to use setting buttons like screen brightness or volume (normally its the other way around where the settings are primary function on F1-12, on this laptop its secondary). Additionally, the webcam isn't very high definition and a bit grainy.
Una ultrabook decente si se vende a un precio adecuado

Adquirí el producto con una flash sale de Amazon, por lo que considero que al precio que la obtuve vale la pena, de lo contario es un robo a mano armada. Antes de la adquirirla vi muchos reviews del producto y tenían razón tanto en lo positivo como en lo negativo. Pros Pantalla excelente, la verdad es que la AMOLED es otro nivel Una Laptop muy Liviana y no se siente tan plástica como esperaba El lector de huella es muy rápido La duración de la Batería es buena Los aspectos de conectividad están muy bien, tanto en puertos como WiFi y Bluetooth Contra Las bocinas no suenan tan fuerte La webcam es mala Si ejerce presión a los lados del equipo, el trackpad hace click Como se ha lo que iba estoy satisfecho con la compra, además la entrega fue muy rápida
