⭐ Buy the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360: geni.us/WhvRUk (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about? Which one would you choose and what would you use it for? I am grateful in advance 🙏
Thanks for the great video.. would you say the i5 and 8gb memory combination we get here in the UK would be too much of s performance compromise? I'd use this for emails, doc creating (word, Excel, PowerPoint), online browsing and video streaming. Your input would be awesome!
The brightness is about the same as any other laptop. You just need to go into the Intel Graphics driver, and change the default brightness setting from 38 to 50, to make it match the default set for other machines. Samsung/Intel did this on purpose to help prevent OLED burn in. Once you set it to 50 (or whatever you want), the screen is capable of getting plenty bright. The audio is great too once you enable Dolby Atmos, it's off by default. Changing these 2 settings has GREATLY enhanced this machine for me personally, love it.
I don't know if I want to risk a screen burn in in exchange for a brighter screen.. I don't know much about technical devices, but I AM thinking of getting this one, so this makes me a bit worried.. also does it seem like it would be able to break easily? I remember reading a review somewhere in which a guy said that he broke the screen with barely anything right after receiving it.. what do you think, how strong has yours been do far?
@@novaexx6587 I love this laptop but yeah, broke the screen shortly after purchase. Due to the thin screen shell, it is moderately more fragile than other units.
I bought this laptop at the beginning of June. I went for the 15" i7, 16gb RAM and 512gb storage. Really glad I did. It's an impressive machine and one that will keep me going for a few years. Complaints about lack of screen brightness don't wash it with me. As I don't sit on park benches in full sunlight, trying to do computer stuff!
I'd like to point out that you can easily open the laptop with one finger. A lot of RUclips reviewer's whinge that you can't. All you need to do is remove the small stickers on the rubber feet.
Hi, Im glad to see that your testing something other than apple, I use google, android and window computers. I watch all of your videos and I enjoy them all. Smile your teaching and old dog new tricks. Thanks have a great day.
I bought this computer after watching your video. I was torn between the xps and this one. I decided on tn this one after watching several reviews including yours. Thanks
It is going to sound silly but I chose this one over xps because of the weight and the pen. I have recently had back surgery so I need a computer light that I could use while resting. Also the pen I draw as a hobby and this laptop with paint studio clip and the pen is perfect for me. I'm now using a walker I really need a computer I can use that I can carry with my bad back. The reviews were great, the specs are good. 16gb pentium 7 4 usbC one is thunderbolt and the screen is great the colors on my drawings look vibrant and as they are supposed to look.
Great update! I like seeing your insight on this. I have the 15" version- just put a 2nd M.2 drive in it for 2TBs. (13" version doesn't have a 2nd slot, but you can upgrade the factory M.2). For dual monitors with my S7+, I find the app SuperDisplay is amazing. With a direct USB-C connection there's no delay at all and it works flawlessly. I tried the Samsung wireless and it's just not nearly as reliable. I use a small 4inch USB-C cable and my dual monitor setup is perfect on this. I've had some palm rejection issues with drawing apps unfortunately, but it seems to be app specific as some work just fine. Really love this laptop though!
This is a great video! Might I suggest that, when you edit the final, you leave some pauses between words? I mean don't cut out the silences completely? It's just that with the silences completely missing, it's a bit more difficult to process all the info - it becomes a word stream. But again, enjoyed the video very much, glad I found your channel!
I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 2 Alpha, the name is quite a mouthful, but it's honestly an amazing laptop. Battery life is exaggerated, as is the case with virtually any laptop, but it's quite the little workhorse. Samsung Dex still leads to be desired, it's a great idea in principal, just not practice, it's choppy, slow, and in no way responsive enough to serve even as a Chrome OS "style" replacement. What sold me was the AMOLED display, and it doesn't disappoint. One of the best laptops/convertibles I've ever owned.
I purchased the larger model and I am very satisfied with performance and the ecosystem between my note 9, Tab 7 and pc360 is amazing. Receiving and responding to text messages on my laptop is very productive. It also boots in 3 seconds.
@@kawaiiroses4826 Why shouldn't this work? Samsung is one of the best company in the world and if they are launching any of their products costing around 1 lakh + it should be a good product, those who are comparing it with apple mac are idiots… everyone has their preferences, who likes apple and who likes Samsung…
Might buy a laptop next year. Would definitely pick up a laptop from samsung. Really need that s-pen and 2in1. Hopefully they'd release more laptops within that time frame since I would love to see how they would improve from this already great 2in1.
Very impressed with this laptop. Just picked mine up today after coming from an older 2015 MacBook Pro. So far I have no complaints and fits my lifestyle perfectly. The ability to work on this laptop all day, and then flip it around to watch youtube or netflix is amazing. Some say the keyboard is awful, but it is all personal preference..... I absolutely love it. The only complaint I can find is that the speakers are not as loud as my MacBook I had, since the sound comes from underneath and is muffled if you're wrapped up in a blanket, with the laptop on your lap. Other than that, this Galaxy Book Pro is great!!! I have the blue 15 inch, i7 processor, 8gb ram, and 256gb storage. Does everything I need to and more!! Battery life on mine is around 15-16 hours with a full 8 hour day working with web browsing, excel, word, and outlook, with more than enough battery for youtube and netflix in the evening. I highly recommend this laptop for anyone in the market for a lightweight, sleek, and fast functioning laptop!
Thanks for your sharing! I just got one, it's perfect :D, the quality of screen and spec are very impressive ! the sound of keyboard when typing isn't really important for me
I bought on of these in october 2019, so a year and 4 months ago. I love the look. I love the S pen, I love the colur and the idea of multi use. However it has been nothing but trouble since the very bginning. Sumsung customer service has also been very less than adequate, quite often telling me simply untrue things. such as that my warranty has expired when it hadn't. Amongst the problems; the first and most dissappointing was that resolution on my 13 inch is so poor...text appears more less sharp than my 10 year old mac. It's very difficult to see the screen in normal daylight conditions... shiny and full of reflections. I have intermittent feedback on my speakers, the trackpad doesn't work prpoerly, meaning everything is difficult. I cannot even select multiple items to drag. Thank goodness there is a touch screen otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it all at times; the fingerprint sensor has stopped working after around a year. Sometimes the keyboard backlight does not light up, making it difficult to log on in the dark. it's noisy with fan noise, and its just not easy to use at all.Finally, now the screen has broken down and disintegrated into lines, and the hinges have become so weak that it can't hold itslf upright as a laptop. I have hardly used it in tablet position at all, so this is a really poor level of quality. I ws advised yesterday instore that screen problems may be because of the loose hings, and trouble iwth mouse control might be track pad pressure. Customer service in store in general have been extremely unhelpful, despite being promised the same service as the spple genius bar, this is really not availabe. The store is so noisy with loud music that the whole experience is very stressful. Sending the device for repair has resulted in the operating system being replaced, thus wiping out all my data and passord, but no repairs to the actual laptop. I am so dissappointed I can't tell you guys. Not least because I bought an expensive phone and watch so that I could get a whole suite working together and now I realise I have wasted my money and I should have gone with apple. Furthermore the case is very thin metal and I managed to get a couple of tiny pin head size dents on it within the first couple of days (Samsung did not have any covers to fit this laptop at the time I purchased), and now customer services try to imply that I have caused damage to the unit myself. To my mind the worst failings here are customer services. when I bought it instore, they didn't have the larger version and they didn't explain that there was extra ram available on the larger verion. also the screen seem very small on the 13'... and I was heavily pressured into buying the smaller version because they didnt have the larger in stock. I wasn't told that I could return it for a replacement within 30 days, so I missed that opportunity even though it was clear within the first month that there were serious problems with the unit. First time I tried to get a repair, I wasn't given any reference number, or instructions, so when a courier turned up to collect it I wasn't confident enough to hand my laptop over to an unknown person. Evntually sending it for repair resulted in only the operating system being reloaded which didn't fix any of the problems. Trying to send it again for repair I was told the warranty was expired ( I have since found this was incorrect). Over a year of struggling with this piece of junk, and I have had to buy a mac so that I have back-up while I send this for fixing again. It's not just the waste of money on this laptop, it's that whole waste of time and stress, and that I can't use my other products which I bought to go with it easily... I do see there a lot of good reviews, but I have had nothing but trouble with this expensive bit of kit, and with Samsung customer services.
I've never actually owned a laptop. Only had desktop PC's and my Samsung tablets. I would use my Tab S4 as a secondary device for some photo editing with Lightroom, watching random RUclips videos, and web browsing. Now I'm stuck between the Galaxy Pro 360, or staying the tablet route and going with the S7+.
I love everything about this laptop except the screen. OLED screens are super cool and don’t get me wrong but I would prefer lcd as you won’t get burn in after long term use and I can avoid getting migraines same time
Figured out the brightest. Just reset mine had to load drivers etc. Your screen gets extremely bright. With the display drivers in the eye bleed light territory. With everything on go to the graphics command center you can make it whatever you prefer.
Ordered the 15" 16gig 1TB from the Samsung website last night. They had a really good deal especially when trading in my Note 9 which I don't use anymore. Looking forward to see how this compares to my current aging EVGA laptop. Was wanting to do a new desktop build however not at current scalper prices for the video card. So it looks like this new laptop and the Xbox X finally at msrp via Walmart online will carry me into next year.
@@FandomFanaticFreak Working just fine no issues. It is all USB Cs so I have to use adapters for peripherals. I keep it plugged in all the time so I don't know how long the battery lasts.
@@two-tone6524 No cracks or issues with thinness however I am not running around with it. I use it at home so it stays safe its all USB C ports so I had to adjust to that.
*Rant Warning - Nothing against the channel* Really wish someone would ACTUALLY do a review from a work/business perspective. I'm sorry, but playing around in photoshop/premier rending stuff all day is not that realistic. Yes some do, BUT more than likely their sole focus will be on those one or two apps. As a consultant with multiple clients I find my self being RDPed into sometimes 3 machines/servers at a time throughout the day. Multiple citrix instances and not to mention the plethora of word and excel spreadsheets, Teams, and one note. My point is every single review on RUclips is the same. Can it play Fortnite, run photoshop/premier and normal everyday consumers worried about fingerprints on the shell instead of actual performance. So what it took 1 extra minute to render, go get a cup of coffee. What happen to the days of testing actual workloads before the machine starts to show its true colors? Put the damn thing through some stress.
I had surface pro 6, 4gb ram 128gb storage, ditched it for Lenovo Yoga 7i 8gb ram &256 gb storage. The laptop is great but weighty, so I want to go to Samsung route, but I don't know if they have powerful processor, I am a software developer and I need perspective from fellow programmers.
The larger laptop also has an upgradable ssd, plus an extra slot for another m.2 (not sure if the smaller has the same), also, it’s on sale as I’m writing this for 709.99 for the i7 version. Pretty amazing price for the laptop.
@@jeffreylewis187 the price was on their website, with trade in for the 13.3”, it Best Buy has the 16” for 999, and the 13.3 for 899. Still great prices for what you get.
I actually ended up replacing my 1 TB in my 15 inch 16 gig 1 TB version with (2) 2 TB NVME drives with a total of 4 TB I love it. 16 gigs of RAM should be plenty since I cannot upgrade that.
Great review. How about the wobbling of the screen when typing? That seems to be a weakness from what I've seen in other reviews. I'm a Samsung S21 Ultra user and I can't decide whether to go for this two in one or the HP Spectre!!!
Mystic bronze model isn't a fingerprint magnet. Thanks for the review, I might get one on a big sale, although I feel we won't see those sales this year with the chip shortage
M1 MacBook Air will give you better performance and quality. Unless you need a two-in-one, but unless you’re an art student I find it gimmicky. When I sold laptops would always move customers away from two-in-ones.
Get the larger harddrive and higher RAM because you'll have it for YEARS!! I'm still using the Samsung AVIT (500T) with Windows 8.1 and am only looking to upgrade because the touchscreen and touchpad aren't working anymore. Outside of that, everything still works. Granted, while the AVIT was has higher-end 2-in-1 device when it was new, one of the great things about Samsung is, when you buy a higher-end product, it will last forever, provided you don't get a "dud"!!
All three usb-c has DP (displayport) 1.4 and PD so you can output to three external 4K60hz displays and be able to charge using any of the three usb-c ports!
its really weird - there almost no new laptops or x360 models with 2560x1440 anymore 😞 Every tablet and phone got better displays! ... I come from an HP Spectre x360 Oled with WQHD and dont wanna go back to Full-HD - even not in 13 inch. Weird times...
?What to change? 16:9 > 16:10 1080 > 1440p (would that be noticeable) 370nits > moaR 60hz > 90hz Arm inside? Bonus e_gpu adapter 🤨 🤨 🤨 Would you just use the same screens thought to be in the tab s8+ 12.4 and s8 ultra 14.6? Also for the fan noise. . . I'm wondering if disabling turbo boost in bios would be effective (as it was in my dell). Q: as it is, do you think this device would be a great alternative to a tablet like the s7? Or are refinements on say a tab s7 enough to make prefer it for fine notetaking, reading etc.
Great review. I'm new to your channel and very impressed with the production quality and your onscreen persona. Maybe I misheard you. I thought you said it came with Windows home 10. It's really home 11 isn't it? I look forward to following your future updates content.
Thanks. Nice review. It was nice that you mentioned the touchpad can be disabled. Small but important info. Love the sound of the KEYBOARD. Do you know of other laptops with nice-sounding keyboard like this but smaller in size? Hopefully buying a laptop some time soon. God bless.
That's a windows problem. Very common issue on all the surface pro also. Glad you posted this because it's super annoying on my Surface pro 7, that's why I'm looking at new laptops.
Great review! I have a lenovo flex 14 from a couple of years ago (mine was 530usd r5 3500u 8gb ram and 256gb ssd). The current yoga 13 with a 5700u can be had for about 900usd, at 1200 this is a bit of a stretch.
Samsung doesn't need to put multimedia controls on the keyboard, just use the software controls on the video or audio player. Any decent media software platform has those controls.
They need to fix up some major stuff for the next iteration. 1. Maybe offer an Ultra Version with better graphics, 16 by 10 AR and better speakers. Maybe getting g rid of the numpad can allow for forward firing speakers on the sides. 2. Slightly brighter display. 3. Bigger battery will help. 4. They shouldn't be afraid to have it a bit thicker than it is.
Looks like a perfect laptop, but the reflection and the bending of the keyboard is a no go for me. And I do use a laptop on my vacation house outside and I need to see what I am typing. I don’t have it now on my old laptop, but now the technique is possible, so too bad.
hi, Very nice review. I like the Samsung device (recently bought the Tab 6 lite). I am thinking about this laptop as a replacement for my Dell XPS 13. I was wandering how well does it performs for web use. I usually use BaseMark 3.0 for web bench marking and I wander what results you will get if you perform it in the fanless mode. Could you please check this. This looks like my dream machine not including the fact that it is not fanless. Thanks for the review!
DISCLAIMER This laptop has worked well for me BUT... I bought this laptop a few months ago for school and this laptop has a KNOWN issue. The screen will form a hairline crack across the screen with minimal use and there are many people online who have had the same issue. Mine had this happen after only a month of use, and I was unable to use my laptop for the next 2 weeks while I was having it repaired. During this process I had a few issues with the customer service and they tried making me pay for the service which was 650$ for the screen replacement. This was very disheartening to me as a first year college student and made school work fairly difficult. If I were to buy again I would go with another laptop which is more durable. In regards to the laptop, the form factor is lovely and I have had no other issues with it, but having a cracked screen on a 2 in 1 laptop is a HUGE issue so I would not recommend it no matter how well it works.
Thanks for another to the point review. I have been wanting to pick this laptop up. But my question to you is did the screen shake a lot on you when typing on the go with it on your lap? The screen seems to wobble real easy. Also looking at the 15 inch due to number pad. Thanks
It looked like it was shaking as he was moving around while talking on the video. Am I seeing that right? For me, that's a deal breaker. I can't stand having screen wobble. 🤷♂️
@@jaredholcomb I saw it wobbling in the video too. Since it’s a 360 laptop, I think the hinges are designed to move easily which might be why it wobbled
Great review, thank you very much. I have been looking at getting the newer Book2 Pro 360, any thoughts on how that would compare to the one you reviewed here? Since I want to stay with the 13.3" and I believe Windows shouldn't be run on less than 16GB RAM, I am limited to only 1 model, and that's the i5-1240P version which I do get a 512GB SSD storage with, but if I want an i7 version of the 13.3, they only offer it with 8GB RAM, at least in Canada anyways. Can you make any comments on it? My desire is to pair it with the Galaxy S8 Ultra as well. I have had the Tab S6 since release, and I have absolutely loved it. I have been using the Samsung Note phones since version 1, and currently still have the 9. I hope to be able to upgrade to the S22 Ultra later this year. First the laptop and tablet, then the phone.
I buy one 16GB RAM and 512GB for a great price, for me it's so good because I have a Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S7+, Samsung tv and Samsung watch 3, really enjoy it, thanks for the information!
@FranciscoGonzalez. Please don't see this as a criticism, do you find the 2 in 1 overlaps the S7+? I can only have one. I am waiting on my (latest non-folding) Samsung phone, but my tablet is just about dead, and was thinking S7+ but my son suggested a 2 in 1. I have a PC, and an old, barely usable laptop (Dell). I mention this only to share I have laptop experience.
S7+ is ligher and amazing, but it's a secondary device. If your device would be unique, then go for the laptop book pro 360, otherwise, buy the s7+ and the book pro
I've owned this laptop since Xmas, and my screen cracked by itself. I left it on my shelf for 8 days, with nothing sat on it or anything, and when I went to use it again, I found it'd cracked from the bottom of the bezel near to the right hand hinge. Samsung refuse to believe when I tell them I didn't damage it. I have to pay £266 to have the screen replaced.
Totally avoid this computer. The screen cracks out of normal use. Tons of people are having that issue, including myself. It's obviously a quality issue and Samsung doesn't want to fix it, they want me to pay for it.
My only complaint so far for the laptop is the battery, it's so bad. They originally said it could get 20hrs that's a load of crap especially when coding on it.
Very good overview I enjoyed it 😃. I believe the display is terrible for outside sun light when compared to others in this class as it just does not work well at all. As for the ECO system its so much further along that it ever was and potentially could equal Apple’s as they iron out the niggles. Love the way Samsung is constantly trying to innovate in a very competitive market and the S Pen is just well awesome they have that down so well. Would I buy it - No - not with the present specs but I would if they had better choices and value for money.
Actually, the brightness is about the same as any other laptop. You just need to into the Intel Graphics driver, and change the default brightness setting from 38 to 50, to make it match the default set for other machines. Samsung/Intel did this on purpose to help prevent OLED burn in. Once you set it to 50, the screen is capable of getting plenty bright. The audio is great too once you enable Dolby Atmos, it's off by default.
the 360 is for artists also - so for drawing where you are really near to the display. its really the worst choice they "only" offer 1080p with the "pro"-version. They should have offer an 1440p version at least - as they do on their "Tab S8" tablets. with 1440p I would have bought the 13,3 inch model instantly! but I have to skip 1080p 😞

Very impressed with this laptop. Just picked mine up today after coming from an older 2015 MacBook Pro. So far I have no complaints and fits my lifestyle perfectly. The ability to work on this laptop all day, and then flip it around to watch youtube or netflix is amazing. Some say the keyboard is awful, but it is all personal preference.....

Battery life on mine is around 15-16 hours with a full 8 hour day working with web browsing, excel, word, and outlook, with more than enough battery for youtube and netflix in the evening. I highly recommend this laptop for anyone in the market for a lightweight, sleek, and fast functioning laptop!
wow very impressive battery life I must say. Glad u love it!!! :D
This is a lie. Buy a MacBook if you want such battery life.
Thanks for your sharing! I just got one, it's perfect :D, the quality of screen and spec are very impressive ! the sound of keyboard when typing isn't really important for me
Glad it was helpful and that Ute enjoying yours!!!
I bought on of these in october 2019, so a year and 4 months ago. I love the look. I love the S pen, I love the colur and the idea of multi use. However it has been nothing but trouble since the very bginning. Sumsung customer service has also been very less than adequate, quite often telling me simply untrue things. such as that my warranty has expired when it hadn't.
Amongst the problems; the first and most dissappointing was that resolution on my 13 inch is so poor...text appears more less sharp than my 10 year old mac. It's very difficult to see the screen in normal daylight conditions... shiny and full of reflections. I have intermittent feedback on my speakers, the trackpad doesn't work prpoerly, meaning everything is difficult. I cannot even select multiple items to drag. Thank goodness there is a touch screen otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it all at times; the fingerprint sensor has stopped working after around a year. Sometimes the keyboard backlight does not light up, making it difficult to log on in the dark. it's noisy with fan noise, and its just not easy to use at all.Finally, now the screen has broken down and disintegrated into lines, and the hinges have become so weak that it can't hold itslf upright as a laptop. I have hardly used it in tablet position at all, so this is a really poor level of quality. I ws advised yesterday instore that screen problems may be because of the loose hings, and trouble iwth mouse control might be track pad pressure. Customer service in store in general have been extremely unhelpful, despite being promised the same service as the spple genius bar, this is really not availabe. The store is so noisy with loud music that the whole experience is very stressful. Sending the device for repair has resulted in the operating system being replaced, thus wiping out all my data and passord, but no repairs to the actual laptop. I am so dissappointed I can't tell you guys. Not least because I bought an expensive phone and watch so that I could get a whole suite working together and now I realise I have wasted my money and I should have gone with apple. Furthermore the case is very thin metal and I managed to get a couple of tiny pin head size dents on it within the first couple of days (Samsung did not have any covers to fit this laptop at the time I purchased), and now customer services try to imply that I have caused damage to the unit myself. To my mind the worst failings here are customer services. when I bought it instore, they didn't have the larger version and they didn't explain that there was extra ram available on the larger verion. also the screen seem very small on the 13'... and I was heavily pressured into buying the smaller version because they didnt have the larger in stock. I wasn't told that I could return it for a replacement within 30 days, so I missed that opportunity even though it was clear within the first month that there were serious problems with the unit. First time I tried to get a repair, I wasn't given any reference number, or instructions, so when a courier turned up to collect it I wasn't confident enough to hand my laptop over to an unknown person. Evntually sending it for repair resulted in only the operating system being reloaded which didn't fix any of the problems. Trying to send it again for repair I was told the warranty was expired ( I have since found this was incorrect). Over a year of struggling with this piece of junk, and I have had to buy a mac so that I have back-up while I send this for fixing again. It's not just the waste of money on this laptop, it's that whole waste of time and stress, and that I can't use my other products which I bought to go with it easily... I do see there a lot of good reviews, but I have had nothing but trouble with this expensive bit of kit, and with Samsung customer services.
I've never actually owned a laptop. Only had desktop PC's and my Samsung tablets. I would use my Tab S4 as a secondary device for some photo editing with Lightroom, watching random RUclips videos, and web browsing. Now I'm stuck between the Galaxy Pro 360, or staying the tablet route and going with the S7+.
Ehat did you decide
Which did you choose - are you happy with your choice?
I don't know how people can live without at least 1 laptop nowadays. Typing on a tablet and phone take forever!!
That's an excellent review as always, man. Now I know more about it. Thanks
I love everything about this laptop except the screen. OLED screens are super cool and don’t get me wrong but I would prefer lcd as you won’t get burn in after long term use and I can avoid getting migraines same time
Figured out the brightest. Just reset mine had to load drivers etc. Your screen gets extremely bright. With the display drivers in the eye bleed light territory. With everything on go to the graphics command center you can make it whatever you prefer.
can you share how you did this? Thank you
Ordered the 15" 16gig 1TB from the Samsung website last night. They had a really good deal especially when trading in my Note 9 which I don't use anymore. Looking forward to see how this compares to my current aging EVGA laptop. Was wanting to do a new desktop build however not at current scalper prices for the video card. So it looks like this new laptop and the Xbox X finally at msrp via Walmart online will carry me into next year.
Hey, How is it now?
@@FandomFanaticFreak Working just fine no issues. It is all USB Cs so I have to use adapters for peripherals. I keep it plugged in all the time so I don't know how long the battery lasts.
@@MarkHerndon any screen cracks or issues with it being so thin? about to buy one during the b-friday deals. it's $949, is it worth it?
@@two-tone6524 No cracks or issues with thinness however I am not running around with it. I use it at home so it stays safe its all USB C ports so I had to adjust to that.
@@MarkHerndon thank you sir
The way those keys sounded when you were typing won me over, running out to buy one now 😁
Why no one talking about performance of this device ? Only display and others things are discussed mostly.
*Rant Warning - Nothing against the channel*
Really wish someone would ACTUALLY do a review from a work/business perspective. I'm sorry, but playing around in photoshop/premier rending stuff all day is not that realistic. Yes some do, BUT more than likely their sole focus will be on those one or two apps. As a consultant with multiple clients I find my self being RDPed into sometimes 3 machines/servers at a time throughout the day. Multiple citrix instances and not to mention the plethora of word and excel spreadsheets, Teams, and one note.
My point is every single review on RUclips is the same. Can it play Fortnite, run photoshop/premier and normal everyday consumers worried about fingerprints on the shell instead of actual performance. So what it took 1 extra minute to render, go get a cup of coffee.
What happen to the days of testing actual workloads before the machine starts to show its true colors? Put the damn thing through some stress.
Great video. Was gonna upgrade my intel Macbook air to this, but gonna stay with it. Don’t see much benefits. Better screen and build.
I had surface pro 6, 4gb ram 128gb storage, ditched it for Lenovo Yoga 7i 8gb ram &256 gb storage. The laptop is great but weighty, so I want to go to Samsung route, but I don't know if they have powerful processor, I am a software developer and I need perspective from fellow programmers.
The larger laptop also has an upgradable ssd, plus an extra slot for another m.2 (not sure if the smaller has the same), also, it’s on sale as I’m writing this for 709.99 for the i7 version. Pretty amazing price for the laptop.
Where ?
@@jeffreylewis187 the price was on their website, with trade in for the 13.3”, it Best Buy has the 16” for 999, and the 13.3 for 899. Still great prices for what you get.
@@jeffreylewis187 best buy is selling the laptop for 1000. 15 inch i7 1tb SSD storage and 16gbs of ram
iPad : note taking no coding
Mac book: coding no touch option
Samsung 360: have both with i7 nailed it
Is the Samsung good for coding?
please make a video on all the useful things one can do in the Samsung ecosystem.
I actually ended up replacing my 1 TB in my 15 inch 16 gig 1 TB version with (2) 2 TB NVME drives with a total of 4 TB I love it. 16 gigs of RAM should be plenty since I cannot upgrade that.
I have the 13" and I put in 2TB Samsung Pro SSD. It's super fast.
Great review. How about the wobbling of the screen when typing? That seems to be a weakness from what I've seen in other reviews.
I'm a Samsung S21 Ultra user and I can't decide whether to go for this two in one or the HP Spectre!!!
Mystic bronze model isn't a fingerprint magnet. Thanks for the review, I might get one on a big sale, although I feel we won't see those sales this year with the chip shortage
Thanks so much for the input Orlando!
M1 MacBook Air will give you better performance and quality. Unless you need a two-in-one, but unless you’re an art student I find it gimmicky. When I sold laptops would always move customers away from two-in-ones.
@@doomy_doomy2225 I find apple gimmicky
@@doomy_doomy2225 Macs are very limiting though, Windows has a lot more functionallity than Mac
Get the larger harddrive and higher RAM because you'll have it for YEARS!! I'm still using the Samsung AVIT (500T) with Windows 8.1 and am only looking to upgrade because the touchscreen and touchpad aren't working anymore. Outside of that, everything still works. Granted, while the AVIT was has higher-end 2-in-1 device when it was new, one of the great things about Samsung is, when you buy a higher-end product, it will last forever, provided you don't get a "dud"!!
Great video. Looks like some good eco system intergration.
Thanks so much Matt! Appreciate the feedback and support!
All three usb-c has DP (displayport) 1.4 and PD so you can output to three external 4K60hz displays and be able to charge using any of the three usb-c ports!
99% of laptop users do office and school work.
99% of RUclips reviewers talk about video and photo editing.
Thanks for this video !!
A much needed real time experience , feedback video !!
Will you please do a review of the Samsung Galaxy Book Go?
THANK YOU for not saying "fingerprint magnet"!!!!
Very pragmatic and reasoned review. Cheers!
its really weird - there almost no new laptops or x360 models with 2560x1440 anymore 😞 Every tablet and phone got better displays! ... I come from an HP Spectre x360 Oled with WQHD and dont wanna go back to Full-HD - even not in 13 inch. Weird times...
Any plans to review the new Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360?
Thanks for this. I wish you'd shown some of that inter-device magic you were talking about. Like using your tablet/phone as an extra display?
?What to change?
16:9 > 16:10
1080 > 1440p (would that be noticeable)
370nits > moaR
60hz > 90hz
Arm inside?
Bonus e_gpu adapter 🤨 🤨 🤨
Would you just use the same screens thought to be in the tab s8+ 12.4 and s8 ultra 14.6?
Also for the fan noise. . . I'm wondering if disabling turbo boost in bios would be effective (as it was in my dell).
Q: as it is, do you think this device would be a great alternative to a tablet like the s7? Or are refinements on say a tab s7 enough to make prefer it for fine notetaking, reading etc.
Great review. I'm new to your channel and very impressed with the production quality and your onscreen persona. Maybe I misheard you. I thought you said it came with Windows home 10. It's really home 11 isn't it? I look forward to following your future updates content.
Would love to see a bit more detail on writing with the S-pen
Between book 2 pro 360 and book pro 360 which one will be better. I'm thinking to get one this Friday.
Thanks. Nice review. It was nice that you mentioned the touchpad can be disabled. Small but important info. Love the sound of the KEYBOARD. Do you know of other laptops with nice-sounding keyboard like this but smaller in size? Hopefully buying a laptop some time soon. God bless.
Battery??
Had mine for one week and there's issues with the screen, flickering all the time. I'm exchanging for the same and hoping it won't happen again.
That's a windows problem. Very common issue on all the surface pro also. Glad you posted this because it's super annoying on my Surface pro 7, that's why I'm looking at new laptops.
For your type to pop. Go to settings and type in clear type tweak it to your preference.
Great review! I have a lenovo flex 14 from a couple of years ago (mine was 530usd r5 3500u 8gb ram and 256gb ssd). The current yoga 13 with a 5700u can be had for about 900usd, at 1200 this is a bit of a stretch.
Cud you do a video comparing Samsung's ecosystem Vs apples ecosystem?
Thks for th review, I like how you present and explain, thumbs up.
I appreciate the kind words and support. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Amazingly helpful review, thank you!
Does it make sense to buy this instead of a Lenovo , HP or Dell laptop ?
Samsung doesn't need to put multimedia controls on the keyboard, just use the software controls on the video or audio player. Any decent media software platform has those controls.
thanks for sch a great review. very organized and easy to break down
1000th like!!! Love your content!
Love your channel, very informative, great content.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌👌
Excellente Review...A True One Just Like... The Ones I Like Very Much...Thanks A Lot Bro ♡ Best Wishes
They need to fix up some major stuff for the next iteration.
1. Maybe offer an Ultra Version with better graphics, 16 by 10 AR and better speakers. Maybe getting g rid of the numpad can allow for forward firing speakers on the sides.
2. Slightly brighter display.
3. Bigger battery will help.
4. They shouldn't be afraid to have it a bit thicker than it is.
The battery needs to be better, they straight up lied with the 20hr battery like how 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the board flex review. Your video is informative.
So glad it was helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel!
I want it too... but seems too expensive! 😤
Looks like a perfect laptop, but the reflection and the bending of the keyboard is a no go for me. And I do use a laptop on my vacation house outside and I need to see what I am typing. I don’t have it now on my old laptop, but now the technique is possible, so too bad.
Kindly requesting a review of Huawei's New Matepad line and the HarmonyOS 🤍
Subscribed. Do you think the Book2 360 is worth it?
hi, Very nice review. I like the Samsung device (recently bought the Tab 6 lite). I am thinking about this laptop as a replacement for my Dell XPS 13. I was wandering how well does it performs for web use. I usually use BaseMark 3.0 for web bench marking and I wander what results you will get if you perform it in the fanless mode. Could you please check this. This looks like my dream machine not including the fact that it is not fanless. Thanks for the review!
DISCLAIMER
This laptop has worked well for me BUT... I bought this laptop a few months ago for school and this laptop has a KNOWN issue. The screen will form a hairline crack across the screen with minimal use and there are many people online who have had the same issue. Mine had this happen after only a month of use, and I was unable to use my laptop for the next 2 weeks while I was having it repaired. During this process I had a few issues with the customer service and they tried making me pay for the service which was 650$ for the screen replacement. This was very disheartening to me as a first year college student and made school work fairly difficult. If I were to buy again I would go with another laptop which is more durable.
In regards to the laptop, the form factor is lovely and I have had no other issues with it, but having a cracked screen on a 2 in 1 laptop is a HUGE issue so I would not recommend it no matter how well it works.
Please tell when it will launch in india
thanks for review, it's really complete
Thanks for another to the point review. I have been wanting to pick this laptop up. But my question to you is did the screen shake a lot on you when typing on the go with it on your lap? The screen seems to wobble real easy. Also looking at the 15 inch due to number pad.
Thanks
It looked like it was shaking as he was moving around while talking on the video. Am I seeing that right? For me, that's a deal breaker. I can't stand having screen wobble. 🤷♂️
@@jaredholcomb I saw it wobbling in the video too. Since it’s a 360 laptop, I think the hinges are designed to move easily which might be why it wobbled
What is the most powerful or the best 360 laptop in this moment?
7:45 wifi drops by one bar
RUclips:🤪
Oh, the camera quality.
@@TechGearTalk Yes 😂😂
Great review, thank you very much. I have been looking at getting the newer Book2 Pro 360, any thoughts on how that would compare to the one you reviewed here? Since I want to stay with the 13.3" and I believe Windows shouldn't be run on less than 16GB RAM, I am limited to only 1 model, and that's the i5-1240P version which I do get a 512GB SSD storage with, but if I want an i7 version of the 13.3, they only offer it with 8GB RAM, at least in Canada anyways.
Can you make any comments on it? My desire is to pair it with the Galaxy S8 Ultra as well. I have had the Tab S6 since release, and I have absolutely loved it. I have been using the Samsung Note phones since version 1, and currently still have the 9. I hope to be able to upgrade to the S22 Ultra later this year. First the laptop and tablet, then the phone.
Did you buy? If yes please share the feedback
Is this good for engineering students?
What processor, storage and ram you bought?
once i saw i sad that will be my nest laptop i like everything on it and hope price wont be expensive
👍 Great overview, thank you 😊
I buy one 16GB RAM and 512GB for a great price, for me it's so good because I have a Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S7+, Samsung tv and Samsung watch 3, really enjoy it, thanks for the information!
@FranciscoGonzalez. Please don't see this as a criticism, do you find the 2 in 1 overlaps the S7+? I can only have one. I am waiting on my (latest non-folding) Samsung phone, but my tablet is just about dead, and was thinking S7+ but my son suggested a 2 in 1. I have a PC, and an old, barely usable laptop (Dell). I mention this only to share I have laptop experience.
@@Britgirl58 buy the 360 pro will be my suggestion because you will have a laptop in a tablet stile(2 in 1)
S7+ is ligher and amazing, but it's a secondary device. If your device would be unique, then go for the laptop book pro 360, otherwise, buy the s7+ and the book pro
I've owned this laptop since Xmas, and my screen cracked by itself. I left it on my shelf for 8 days, with nothing sat on it or anything, and when I went to use it again, I found it'd cracked from the bottom of the bezel near to the right hand hinge. Samsung refuse to believe when I tell them I didn't damage it. I have to pay £266 to have the screen replaced.
The internal storage is upgradeable the ram, not so much. Good video btw!
Totally avoid this computer. The screen cracks out of normal use. Tons of people are having that issue, including myself. It's obviously a quality issue and Samsung doesn't want to fix it, they want me to pay for it.
The just released Galaxy Book 3 360 Pro is 16" and has a numpad.
Is this good for gaming?
Is this worth buying , I have a tab s8+
My only complaint so far for the laptop is the battery, it's so bad. They originally said it could get 20hrs that's a load of crap especially when coding on it.
Very good overview I enjoyed it 😃.
I believe the display is terrible for outside sun light when compared to others in this class as it just does not work well at all. As for the ECO system its so much further along that it ever was and potentially could equal Apple’s as they iron out the niggles. Love the way Samsung is constantly trying to innovate in a very competitive market and the S Pen is just well awesome they have that down so well.
Would I buy it - No - not with the present specs but I would if they had better choices and value for money.
I really appreciate you watching and sharing your insights!!! Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk You’re welcome I really enjoy you’re channel and I will always provide honest feedback, keep it going and keep it real 👍
@LeeTronix Thank you for your conclusion. It really makes sense and helps a ton!
Actually, the brightness is about the same as any other laptop. You just need to into the Intel Graphics driver, and change the default brightness setting from 38 to 50, to make it match the default set for other machines. Samsung/Intel did this on purpose to help prevent OLED burn in. Once you set it to 50, the screen is capable of getting plenty bright. The audio is great too once you enable Dolby Atmos, it's off by default.
@@RADERFPV Thanks for the info and your explanation, much appreciated.
the 360 is for artists also - so for drawing where you are really near to the display. its really the worst choice they "only" offer 1080p with the "pro"-version. They should have offer an 1440p version at least - as they do on their "Tab S8" tablets. with 1440p I would have bought the 13,3 inch model instantly! but I have to skip 1080p 😞
Is it good for rendering?
Battery life with Windows 11 is awful. It lasts only about 6 hours.
Hi i wana buy laptop which one you prefer samsung or macbook air thanx in advance

how is the battery life ?
