Thank you for making this video! I pre-ordered the 15 inch 360 and was worried about the track pad clicking from underneath when you place it on your lap. I am very pleased to hear Samsung fixed the issue! Awesome video
From what I can tell so far, the fix to the trackpad is my favorite upgrade. They really did a good job stiffening up the chassis this year, I couldn't force a single accidental click, whereas I can easily with last year's model. Congrats on getting one, and thank you so much for watching 👍
LOL if you are as lazy as I am, the underneath clicks can be an advantage
I’d prefer a higher refresh rate over higher resolution if they only decide to give us one since higher refresh rate really makes the computer feel so much faster
It sure does make the whole experience feel smoother and more polished, very good point. Thank you so much for watching 👍
This has been very helpful, big thanks! Disappointed to see Samsung not doing the free monitor promotion here in the UK. However they are offering a multiport adaptor and Galaxy buds pro.
Thank you so much for watching. I noticed they've been mixing it up by region. If it makes you feel any better, I'd probably take the multiport adapter and buds pro over the monitor. Well, I guess I'd feel about the same for both offerings really. The monitor is pretty good, but you can really see those pixels when sitting up close to it. Having a good multiport adapter is great to have, hopefully you can get use out of it.
I have the last year GalaxyBook 360 Pro. I was contiplating upgrading to the GalaxyBook2 pro 360. Thank you for this informative video
You're very welcome, thank you so much for stopping by and watching 👍
You can just let me have the old device if you don't mind
Excellent review. This made me decide to go for the newer one despite the higher price.
Thanks for watching! Good choice, it really is worth the extra cost.
Appreciate your enthusiasm. This puppy comes with limited specs in Canada. For that reason alone, I'd prefer the Dell XPS over this one. I prefer the MacBook Pro M1 Pro/Max over both but that's a different can of worms and at a very different price point.
The MB Pro fully maxed out is an incredible machine, no doubt about it. Dell XPS are very nice too, just they tend to run a little hot due to the narrow air intake slots on the bottom. But still an awesome machine. I like the HP spectre x360,'s as well, except for that I can easily see the digitizer layer on those machines. But I still like them a lot. Thanks for watching 👍
What a great channel, I'm happy to have found it. Keep it up.
Thank you so much Brian, I really do appreciate it!
How are the texts (each individual letters, characters) from websites and MS word displayed from Samsung Book 2 Pro 360? Do they look sharp and bright?
Is the area between the two hinges, just below the display, flexes a lot?
Samsung needs to have their own web browser and online storage facility (not Microsoft OneDrive) in their pc/laptop in order to have seamless integration of their devices like smartphones, tablet and laptops and Desktops etc.
Are the texts of Samsung Book 2 Pro 360 not as sharp and bright as Apple’s MacBook pro? Is the area between the two hinges just below the display flex/bend a lot?
Why do we have to copy and paste the URL or send it to via 'Quick Share' just to view information on a particular webpage from Samsung phone to pc/laptop? In Apple’s MacBook, you can view webpages/websites automatically from iPhone to MacBook. You do not have to copy paste the URL or tap to phone link. This has only happened because Apple uses the same web browser i.e. SAFARI in their phone, tablet and pc. Samsung do not have the “Samsung Internet browser” for their pc/laptop till now. Samsung should also make a browser for pc in order to make continuity features from phone to pc as good as Apple
Great video,, exactly what i wanted to know... Although the improvement of the deck flex for me wasnt a big deal, since i felt that you almost had to munipulate the way you held the laptop in a super weird way to actually make the touchpad click,,, Ive had mine on my lap/knees numerous times and ive never had an issue,, i think someone would have to hold the laptop up with 1 hand to make the touch pad click,, (which noone should do anyway,, lol)
Thank you so much for watching. It's never been a problem for me either, but it's a common complaint on the forums, such as SamMobile and reddit. I suppose some folks handle it in ways that you and I usually don't, so it's nice that they strenghened the chassis up some. It does give it a more premium feel being a bit more "solid", if that makes any sense. It's shaping up to be quite a nice machine so far, I should have the full review out fairly soon - running it through its paces.
Thank you I have been looking for a comparison. I couldn't find one on Google or RUclips thanks for this video!
Thank you so much for watching, glad it was helpful for you 👍
Incremental for me, not upgrading. Never had wobble, my sound sounds good and I hear a little chasis creaking if I look for it normally no case sounds. I love my screen, it takes my breath away and I have Qled TVs so I know what clarity looks like, and I the screen brightness is perfect. No eye strain after long usage of doing graphics. I can easily see it on my patio. Not trying to get eye cancer from looking at too bright screens.
Appreciate your inputs 👍If you're happy with what you have, then most definitely stick with it, that's so awesome that you're enjoying it so much! I'm not so sure I'd be overly concerned with eye problems with these particular OLED panels. These max out at 500 nits viewing hdr10+ content, nowhere close to the 1,700 nits of the S22 Ultra. It's nice to have a little headroom in the brightness department for those times when you're in lighting situations that you don't have control over, like airports for example. These are high glare panels, so the extra brightness helps when reflections come into play as well. Compared to most displays out there, these are not on the bright side. Thanks for watching👍
@@RADERTECH Okay but I saw the guy with eye cancer, his video. It was shocking. His eyes were all blood red and it could not be fixed. He was giving a cautionary tale. I do get what you are saying though.
@@hybridinfodesk409 I'm sure it can happen, and there's nothing worse than eye problems. I know too well, I was born legally blind and have had several surgeries to keep my sight in order. I hope this guy you're talking about is okay, thats sounds really scary. I don't think the average consumer will have to worry about these particular screens though, they're just not that bright really, but plenty bright enough, if that makes sense. I can't imagine getting a cancer of the eye, that sucks.
The Deck flex isn't a problem on the 13 inch.... which that was brought up. Also the main issue I would have wanted to see addressed in comparing last years model to this years model ....for a thin and light ultra portable.. is the battery life which no one seems to be addressing. I would have thought the big-little core layout of the Alderlake 1260p would enable enhanced battery life through the use of the efficiency cores when in battery mode? If I could get say an extra 3 hours of battery life through the use of Intels efficiency cores that would make the upgrade worth it for the use case of a thin and light...but I don't see that question answered. Literally cannot find this direct comparison anywhere on the internet.
Hi, thank you so much for watching! I don't have the 13.3", so I was reluctant to comment on it. But I can say there is a major difference between this year's and last year's 15.6", the chassis has been improved a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience with the 13" chassis, very much appreciated.
in regards to the battery life, this was just first impressions and unboxing video. I cover the battery life some in videos that came after this. I can sum it up here for you though - they're basically about the same, I don't notice much of a difference between this year's and last year's. If anything, I think last year's 360 might actually be a bit better. At least it seems that way for everyday tasks.
I got the 13inch version and already had to return it. The fingerprint scanner would not work. 3 hours on the phone with Samsung care to try to resolve the issue. It was frustrating!
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that. That totally sucks. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience. I hope they make things right with you.
Any thoughts why the screen of Book2 Pro 360 only has a resolution of 1920x1080p and not higher?
Hi, thanks for stopping by! Yeah, it's to conserve battery life. They're touting this as an "all day" machine, so they opted for the 1080p. I'm hoping we see a 4K option this year, I'll just keep the charger close by, lol.
I saw where a lot of people were complaining about the screen cracking on these. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Hi Matt, thanks for stopping by! I've been getting asked about this a lot lately. So in my experience, I haven't faced any issues like this at all. I've had this year's and last year's 360 since launch, and both displays are in perfect condition. The key is to not grab the laptop and pick it up between the hinges. It can bend if you do so, and can lead to the screen cracking. You want to grab it near the trackpad or towards one of the 2 hinges, just not in the middle of them. It will make a lot more sense when you have it in hand, it's pretty obvious, it will flex some if you try. I think a lot of folks are doing something like this, and it's causing problems for them. I think I demonstrated this in another tips and tricks video for the galaxy book 2 pro 360.
I don't understand why the 360 has to be so much heavier than the non-360 version.
Thanks for stopping by. I know what you mean. I think it has to do with the 2-in-1 design, they seem to be just a bit heavier than regular hinge lightweight options.
Covered some great points. Great review!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you watching 👍
I am disagree with you- the 1080p display is the best option if you care about long battery life! And for me- this is number 1 point when I am looking at laptops. I do not need more resolution even if laptop can provide 4k, I still using 1080p.
Hi, thank you so much for watching! I totally get where you're coming from, and can respect that viewpoint. Even though I complained about it a bit here, please do keep in mind that it's plenty good enough that it's my daily driver, and I have a couple other videos about this panel letting folks know that I think for most, 1080p on this size display is enough. It's a very nice screen, I just wish the text was a tad bit sharper. QHD and 4K options in addition to 1080p would be nice in the future though, for those of us that prefer screen clarity over battery life. I have quite a few laptops, and 4K is what I prefer just for the text readability alone. But in turn, I also have bad eyesight, so it helps in my personal use case.
Think I'm going to wait a few months and snag an open box from Best buy.
Great review!
I've been going back and forth between a two and one from dell, hp, and Samsung and I think I'm going to land at Samsung.
Great strategy. There's so many options out there, no need to rush it. Thank you so much for watching.
I spent $1,599.99 for the maxed out 15.4" and I can say totally worth it. I have a gaming set up with two 27" 240 refresh rate monitors in 2k resolution and I find myself thinking the 1080 on the Book2 Pro 360 looks better. That Amoled OLED screen is gorgeous and 2 or 4k on that size of a screen would be redundant IMO.
Thank you so much for watching. It sure is a gorgeous screen, no doubt. It's the best 1080p panel I've ever used, and is right there with my gaming panel as well. Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad you're liking the GB2 pro 360👍
I use the Samsung tab s8+ . For retro gaming the image quality is way better of ips
Is the 360 made in Vietnam?
Very helpful review! Thanks!
Thank you so much!
what do you think about the overall rigidity of these models? Can the computer break easily if handled roughly? Anyway, thanks for the video, I'm a French guy who was waiting for videos talking about the computer and yours is very good !
They are improved as far as toughness goes compared to last year's model, especially the bottom chassis. However, I wouldn't consider them tough or anything, these are super thin and lightweight. If you're typically careful with your devices, you shouldn't have any problems. But if you travel a lot or have a tendency to be a little rough with machines, I'd suggest picking up something that's more in the business class of laptops, like a Lenovo ThinkBook/ThinkPad or a Dell (xps, latitude, Inspiron), as those machines are built to withstand some abuse. Thank you so much for watching 👍
Ils going to be à long one! :-)
Great!
The review i was waiting for it....will Come back later after i finish your vidéo.
Thank you already
Nice! Thank you so much!
@@RADERTECH I have preordered the same model, as yours, no choice in color or storage here. I am still on the fence about keeping iit because of FHD 16/9 screen alone
And Samsung did not allow me to cancel my preorder.
Not sure Samsung can get away with me.
I am sick of those incremental upgrades and don't want to upgrade every year.
The difference of vertical information showing between a 16/9 and 16/10. Is quite significant.
A 16 inch 16/10 with FHD+ would have been a no brainer for me
@@JoeGillian0 I have a strong feeling we'll start seeing 16:10 models within the next couple of years. My only gripe with many, but not all 16:10 machines is that we often lose the numpad. As a coder, I rely heavily on numpad input, so I have to have it. I hope they find a way to keep it. If they shipped your preorder out already, it'll likely be a nightmare to turn back now unfortunately.
@@RADERTECH the Lenovo 9i 14 has 4k oled display and and 16:10 aspect ratio and better ports...(Usb-a, 2 thunderbolts and a rotative soundbar ..will compare to the benchmark s online with Book2 Pro 360
@@JoeGillian0 Yeah... But that laptop starts at $1,750, is Intel 11th gen instead of 12 (that's a huge thing, 12th gen crushes 11th gen), and that only gets you a 512gb SSD with DDR4 memory. The screen on it is a bit better, but lacks the mighty s pen, and I suppose the soundbar might be a bit of an upgrade. Seems a bit pricey for what it is really.
Nice job on your video content! I have the 13 inch 360 coming and can't wait to get my hands on the thing!
Nice! I think you're going to be very happy with it. Usually, the more I use a device the less impressed I get, especially after 2 to 3 days. For this laptop, my feelings have been the opposite. I wasn't so impressed at first, but after using it A LOT the past 48 hours, I'm getting more and more impressed with it. It just has so many nice touches compared to last year's model, it really is turning out to be a great machine.
@@RADERTECH That is great to hear! I look forward to getting it! Keep up the great videos and good luck with your dental work!
@@joehallman8646 Thank you so much 👍
U really cannot expect the same stiffness from a 360 hinge and a "normal" laptop's hinge
Oh, I don't, not at all. In fact, the screen wobble has never bothered me at all with last year's model either. But a lot of folks seem to care about it for some reason, so I tested it out for thoroughness. Thank you so much for watching 👍
Thank you very much for another great video.
What are your impressions so far regarding the noises coming from tha fans? And does Samsung still offer the "fanless" battery mode?
About the same as last year's model. The fans were going a million miles per hour for the first 20 to 30 minutes while it did all of its updates, then quieted way down after that, usually staying off completely. Yes, the No Fan option is still there, just checked for you. Thank you so much for watching 👍
@@RADERTECH Thank you a lot for the quick answer. I'm probably going for the 15.6" model which is bundled with a free Smart Monitor M5 here in Spain.
Damn now I want the new 360 I have last years and am sick of my mouse button sticking. Frame wobble is real
Hi, thanks for watching! Yeah, there's a pretty big difference in that department between both models. The sound is way better on the newer one too. I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading for though, I'd wait until February when we hear about the new one being announced if you can wait.
That was informative,thank you.
Thank you so much for watching.
Thanks for this video. I got mine in hand on Monday and so far love it! I have the same as yours except I went with Silver thinking that it wouldn't show fingerprint smudges. How is the graphite doing with smudges?
Congrats, glad you're loving it too!!! So far, so good with fingerprint smudges. I've only had it pick up a couple that were real easy to wipe away. It's much improved over last year's model, it picked them up like crazy. I bet silver does a great job of not showing them. Thank you so much for watching 👍
Very interesting review! Two questions:
1) There are a number of reports and complaints about spontaneously cracking displays on the 1st gen model even by perfectly normal and careful use, apparently with Samsung refusing to cover this under warranty. Do you have any information or personal experiences with this issue? The fact that the 2nd gen model has more stiffness and less flexing may indicate that Samsung is aware of this problem, but I´m not sure. Will have to wait for more reviews.
2) It´s annoying that, just as with the 1st gen model, maxed out versions (32GB ram, 1Tb SSD) are announced, but never materialize. In case of this 2nd gen model, there is even talk of Intel Arc graphics built into a top of the line machine. I for one would be very much interested in more ram or HD space.
As professional illustrator, I´m in the market for a 2-in-1, and this has the S-Pen and therefore Wacom pen tech under the hood, which makes it an attractive proposition. However, the question remains whether such a lightweight design can withstand pressure and abrasion by the S-Pen on the display for prolonged periods of time.
For question #1. I've seen them all, and basically it's like 3 or 4 people total that have blown up reddit and other forums with repeat posts. I'm not necessarily saying these are false claims, but I am saying that it's blown out of proportion, and most likely poor handling and care is to blame. These are extremely lightweight and thin machines that should be handled with care and respect, they can't be thrown around like a beefy gaming laptop.
For question #2 - That's certainly an understandable concern, I was worried about that quote a bit at first as well with last year's model. I tend to naturally write more gently on it just because the screen is so thin compared to say the tab S8 Ultra, but I've become less concerned as time has gone on. I wouldn't use excessive pressure with the s pen, and with you being an illustrator that may be a concern. There are other great illustrators that use this machine though, such as Cosmic Spectrum Art here on RUclips. Oh my goodness, she's amazing! Thanks for watching and for the great questions.
@@RADERTECH Thanks a lot for answering the questions! Your take on the cracked display issue is interesting - if one looks at ratings at Amazon, it would appear the vast majority of buyers is quite happy with them. So, I´m hoping you´re right and this issue is indeed a non-issue! At any rate, I´m very much looking forward to the general market release. Microsoft´s most recent iteration of the Surface line is very interesting and appears very robust and sturdy, but the Slim Pen 2 just isn´t quite as good as Wacom/S-Pen/Apple Pencil, at least not yet, though it has come a long way. And you´re right: Cosmic Spectrum Art does make fantastic art, both digital and traditional!
@@pixelpusher1393 Hi, the slim pen seems to be on par with apple pencil according to most reviews online.
@@JoeGillian0 Well... actually, I have some limited experience with the Slim Pen 2, as I rented a Surface Pro 8 for one month (which is a great way to evaluate equipment before making a buying decision) and worked with the Slim Pen 2 on it.
My impression is pretty good, and it´s definitely a workable alternative, however it doesn´t quite have this refinement and subtlety in translating pressure into line thickness and/or opacity you would find with a Wacom Cintiq, or the Apple Pencil. Initial activation force is slightly higher, which means if you do very fast, small and light movements with the tip for detail work, you may experience the Slim Pen 2 skipping lines or dots.
Initial activation force with Wacom Cintiq or Apple Pencil is practically non-existent, which is nice, and IMHO the single most important issue Microsoft ought to work on if they plan to release a Slim Pen 3 at some point.
There´s a distinction to be made, however: I was using mostly Photoshop CS6 (I´m refusing to get sucked into the CC ecosystem), and I also downloaded a demo version of Clip Studio Paint. Skipped lines or dots were more frequent in Photoshop CS6, and barely happened in Clip Studio Paint.
There´s probably a simple explanation for this: Photoshop CS6 does not offer it´s own pressure curve to fine tune pen response to pressure and input. Therefore, the only way to adjust the pressure curve is in the Surface app, which globally adjusts pen pressure for all apps and for the entire device.
In Clip Studio there are two more levels of pressure curve adjustments: A generalized pressure curve for Clip Studio, and an individual pressure curve for opacity, brush size, etc. in each individual painting tool. Apparently, this compensates for a somewhat higher initial activation force.
The other point of criticism is that the glass surface of the Surface Pro 8 is very smooth, and the pen will give you the feeling of plastic sliding on glass. A frosted surface would go a long way to give a more natural haptic experience. Initially, I felt that the Apple Pencil gives a somewhat unnatural feeling of hard rubber on glass, but now, with the experience of the Slim Pen 2, I would prefer the feeling of the Apple Pencil on an iPad over the equivalent feel of the Slim Pen 2 on a Surface Pro 8, or Surface Laptop Studio.
If Microsoft manages to fine tune their most recent Surface line, they will have the almost ideal companion for creatives and would be filling a gap wich oddly enough one would have expected Apple to fill!
One particular device I´m very curious about will be a Surface Studio 3 in combination with a Slim Pen 2 (or 3!?), if and when it will be released. No idea if Microsoft plans a continuation of this very interesting machine, as I could imagine the sales numbers being rather small....
@@RADERTECH Hi, wanted to give quick input after a few days of using a rented Samsung Galaxy Book 360 Pro (1st gen): Like you indicated, I´m getting more relaxed with the stability of the display. True, the device is very thin, but the display so far seems to lend itself quite nicely for digital drawing/painting. Working in Clip Studio Paint is wonderful, as good as an actual Wacom Cintiq.
However, there is one big letdown: I tried to use the pen with Photoshop CS6 under Windows 11, and pressure sensitivity is completely lost. Unlike the Microsoft Surface Pro 8, where the installation of the appropriate Wintab driver helped, installing the same Wintab driver on the Samsung makes things actually worse.
It seems as if the only possible driver for the S-Pen is Windows Ink, which in turn is not fully compatible with Photoshop CS6. I´ve contacted already Wacom support to see if they can come up with an idea to bypass Windows Ink, and maybe I´ll try the same with Samsung support, but I have little hope that there is a fix for the problem in this case.
It would therefore appear that all 2-in-1 devices relying on Wacom pen technology will not work properly with those CS6 application where pressure sensitivity is needed.
Got myself a Flex Book 360 i7 15.6 inch in royal blue. Less than half price on Amazon. £600 steal!
Nice! The Flex Book 360 is awesome, that's a great price too! Congratulations 👍
Looks quite nice, but I will only consider getting it if the Arc graphics option becomes available during the pre-order period.. perhaps starting March 30th?
I heard the same, that there would be the option during the last 2 days. Keep a close eye on it tomorrow. Thank you so much for watching.
HP Spectre 360 vs XPS13 vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 360! Your personal choice/winner would be?
Now that's a GREAT question! Oh my, that's a tough one. From a pure machine perspective, the HP spectre x360 has always been my favorite 2 in 1, I just love the gem cut corners and looks of it. But they dialed back the looks a little this year, so it's not quite as appealing. It's hard for me to get excited about Dell, because most of my work issued laptops are XPS's, Inspirion's and Latitudes... With an occasional Lenovo Thinkpad thrown in the mix. So for me personally, my favorite is the GB2 pro 360. I just love the Samsung ecosystem integration, and now heavily rely on the s pen more than ever since starting this RUclips channel. It helps with my workflow tremendously. They're all great machines though, you picked some good ones 👍 Thank you so much for watching.
How's the gaming performance? I was hoping the Intel arc option would be available for preorder but it's not. Can that version play first person shooter games like Overwatch at 60fps?
Bump !!
There is no Arc option for 360 anyway.
I'm not sure yet. I pretty much have only done the initial setup and completed the video and edit, then got about 3 hours of sleep before having to wake up for work just now - hectic schedule at times doing RUclips, lol. I doubt this machine will pull a constant 60 fps on Overwatch, but I'll try to get it tested for you after work. I'm a bit bummed too that we don't have an ARC option on the new 360 as well. I wouldn't make this my first choice if gaming is your thing, but let's see how it handles it. I took a screenshot of this so I remember to get back at you. Thanks for watching 👊👍
@@billcsho not announced but there is no arc upgrade available even for the model they announced it for yet.
@@RADERTECH Thanks for sharing, I don't game on PC much but I do like to play Overwatch. Just crossing my fingers that the combo of the new i7 and iris xe is enough to do 1080p 60.
Please open the new one up and check does it have the 2nd M.2 slot in it like the first. Mine 1st Gen having that extra slot for double the storage capacity has made this laptop invaluable.
The 15" does have an extra slot, it's 2030 size and the main SSD already filled is 2080. Thanks for watching 👍
@@RADERTECH Thanks that's awesome to know! I would prefer the full size 2280 size as higher capacity 2230 is hard to find but still glad it has the extra storage capacity! Thanks again.
@@Zactivist 👍
Wow I was just thinking should I get it or the tab
Tough decision, they're both great devices! Thanks for watching 👍
In Canada they are only offering the i5 version on their website. Last year they were only offering 8GB RAM version 😢
Oh darn, that really sucks. You def want 16gb of ram, but the differenc between the i5 and i7 isn't as much a people think. The i7 runs hot when you push it, so it thermal throttles back in these situations to overcome the heat. The i5 doesn't get quite as hot. I still prefer the i7 on the 15.6" model, but prefer the i5 on the smaller 13.3" model. The i7 1260p runs too hot for the 13.3 honestly.
Thank you so much for watching!
I'm getting mine in 2 days it just shipped !
Nice!!! It's a sleek machine, you're going to like it a lot. Thanks for watching.
great video! PRICE is always an issue. yr2021 Book 360 is like 50% the price of the Book2. Is that a better value deal to buy then paying DOUBLE for the new yr2022 model? for either 13 or 15 inch models.. thanks!
Thank you so much for watching 👍 The latest model is nicer, but not 2x the price nicer. I was fortunate and got in on the pre order deals, bringing the price down quite a bit after doing a watch trade in. Last year's model is a great machine at that price.
you're a legend! My video on the book 2 pro 360 is dropping soon.
Nice! I just subbed to you so I don't miss it, I dig your channel👊👍
@@RADERTECH Ayy, subbed to your channel after watching this video. Its really hard to find samsung channels out there so its great we both are doing our part to get samsung content out there. I myself am really deep in the samsung ecosystem aswell as you can tell haha
@@techfultech So awesome! I notice there's not that much Samsung related channels either, but I didn't honestly really look when I started mine up, lol. I put the first video up on my drone channel for the GB Pro 360 review, and a whole bunch of people watched over on that channel. That's when I decided "You know what, I think I'll whip up a tech channel and post the video on it". I guess the rest is history, such a strange start to a youtube channel, ha ha. Let's keep in touch and perhaps do a collaberation at some point.
Would you recommend spectre X360 over galaxy book 2 pro
I prefer the galaxy book mainly because of the s pen. The s pen is noticably better than HP's pen, and I can see the digitizer layer on the HP, of which isn't visible on the galaxy book. However, the 16" x360 with RTX graphics is awesome, but is quite a bit heavier and more expensive. They're both great machines, you can't go wrong either way. If you're sensitive to resolution, you might like the HP more because it offers higher than 1080p. There's always a lot to consider. Thank you so much for watching 👍
I haven't received mine yet, what is the exact dimensions of the book 2 pro 360? Looking for a good case for it.
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it! Here you go: 0.47 by 13.97 by 8.98 inches
Is the latency with the S-Pen better than the older model?
Great question, Joe. I haven't tried yet, but will make sure to do a quick comparison during the full comparison video, I'll probably work on that this weekend. I'm having some major dental work done today, so it's going to set me back a day before I can look into it. I hope you're doing great, thanks for all of the great questions and feedback, I appreciate you!
A Question how is the graphical performance ? like can it actually run some 3d applications and light games .
I'm not really sure on this latest model yet, it's still to early. I need to get some of my main apps installed and setup before I can really comment on that. But, I can say that I use last year's GB 360 for video editing and it handles light to medium gaming (1080p) at high frame rates, and plays some AAA titles at playable frame rates. So I would naturally assume this latest model should even fair better. I'll have a better idea in the next day or 2. Thank you so much for watching!
I just saw another video showing the inside of this new model. It seems they changed the second SSD slot this year that it only fits 2230.
Oh wow, really? I'd love to check out that vid, can you try to link it or just reply back with a few of the words in the title and I'll search it out? That's great info to know. I just checked JerryRigEverything, but don't see anythign from him. Thank you so much!

How many m.2 ssd will this one take?
I'm pretty sure we get the same config as last year's models. So there won't be any available slots on the 13" model and there's 1 open slot on the 15" model. Thank you so much for watching 👍
Ordered mine today.
Nice!! 👊👍You're going to love i. I'm liking it more and more the more I use it. Bench!ark video will be posted soon, it does well.
I've watched & read somewhere that reftesh rates for all models is only 60Hz?
Few said there are 120Hz, but can't find the factual details yet.
All of the Galaxy Book line of laptops use 60hz panels, both this year and last year's models. Samsung and Intel's attempt at saving battery to meet Intel EVO certification. Thanks for watching 👍
@@RADERTECH i would like to get the preorder but im just a bit concern over this refresh rate..i'm not much of a techie so I checked video comparisons of writing & drawing between 120 & 60Hz, & it does bother me how these Hz can produce some lags in real world use..leaning to choose S8 Ultra but I think Windows Os is more practical for my study, work, & hobbies..
Still pondering which to get😅
i have a question, are the hardware/dimensions/thickness/key placement etc the same as for both? ive been trying to find skins/screen protectors/cases for this laptop but the only thing i can find is for the book and not book 2. im so frustrated.
it looks the same from the video but im not sure about closer inspection
Hi, thank you so much watching! Sadly, I gave last year's model to my daughter for college just a few weeks back, so I can't do an actual side by side comparison. However, I used last year's so much that I remember like the back of my hand. They're both identical, no changes at all. The only difference is the color and the stiffness of the chassis itself. I just checked a couple reddit posts for you, seems like folks are using skins and protectors from last year's 360 without any issue.
Just don't put in a hardshell case, the kind that wrap around the entire laptop. You'll have problems going into tablet mode, and could potentially damage the screen if you apply too much force in that mode.
@@RADERTECH thanks!!

Is made in Vietnam?
Yes, that's correct. Thanks for watching!
@@RADERTECH is it cool as it looks?
@@MzuMzu-nx1em It's a nice machine. Intel 12th gen and super lightweight, but it does get hot when gaming.
@@RADERTECH something like the overheating of tab s8++ . Does putting the tablet on the floor is enough?
@@MzuMzu-nx1em It gets pretty hot, not sure about the tab S8+, but the Ultra barely gets warm at all
I have last year's model. Not upgrading for at least 3 more years
I say if you're happy with what you have, there's no need to upgrade. Thank you so much for watching 👍
@@RADERTECH thanks for the reviews!
@@Bmasta717 Thank you so much, I appreciate you 👍
How is the weight comparison to the galaxy tab s8 ultra with keyboard added is the weight the same or lighter?
The tab S8 Ultra with the keyboard and back kickstand attached is 2.6lbs and the GB2 360 Pro is 3.1lbs. They feel about the same weight when holding both. Thank you so much for watching 👍
which display is more durable, stable and long lasting - super amoled display of Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 or IPS LCD display of Lenovo Yoga 7i?
The Lenovo is a "thicker" machine, so it will likely be more durable long term.
I hope they put a mic mute and camera shutter button and multimedia button like the hp does. Do you think its possible?
Thank you so much for watching, and my apologies for the slow reply. No, it's not available on this year's or last year's models. There are settings in software to disable/enable them both, as well as a toggle via keyboard shortcut, but no physical slider like you see on some other machines.
@@RADERTECH can i also ask what f11's button do? Is it a privacy screen button?
@@jajagaela5219 It's for changing between performance modes, I just tried for you. So it'll toggle between Quiet, No Fan, Optimized, High Performance, etc...
@@RADERTECH ooh sorry i mean the f10 button?
@@jajagaela5219 That's the camera/mic disable/enable toggle I was talking about. It basically turns both the camera and mic on and off as you need them.
Actually think the better deals are with the mark 2 version I tried to do the trade deal on the older model nope you get more for the newer book and all the upgrades plus free monitor 😀 . Even used on ebay there still going for close to 800. FYI higher resolution mean thicker book for bigger battery is all Physics also did you get the free monitor
Totally agree with you. I even put out a little trade-in video for folks letting them know that now is the time, lol. After doing the match, my maxed out Book2 Pro 360 will be about $1,050 after tax. That's counting $350 off for a Gear S3 trade-in that I only paid about $100 for, and I'm deducting $200 for the free monitor, because I think that's what it could be easily sold for. Count in selling last year's model, this new one is only costing me about $100 to upgrade. I swear, Samsung pre-orders and trade-ins are definitely the way to go. It's amazing that folks can get a machine this nice for roughly $1,000 if they take advantage of the incentives. I get you on the resolution, there's always a "take and give" for everything. i sort of wish they offer a higher res model with the same size/weight/battery, and let us take a hit in battery life. At least the option would be nice. Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate you👍
@@RADERTECH the 350 trade for a 40 gear S3 is crazy 😧😧 I saw that bought the watch on eBay that's amo brainer
@@phillippugh2161 Smart move! It is nuts, you have to love their trade in incentives, they're awesome. I did the same thing... Snagged a gear s3 for $80 refurbished and getting ready to ship it to Samsung tomorrow for $350 credit. They're really good about giving the full trade in credit too, much better than cell providers for example. Thank you so much for watching 👍
While 4k is awesome it really doesn't become useful until 27 inches and above. I've been using my XPS 15 with a 4k panel for the past four years and its is incredibly stunning, *but* it's a huge power draw. In my experience and from other users experiences, a 4k panel takes about 30-40% off battery life. My XPS with a 97 watt hour battery gets roughly 4-5 hours while a friend of mines 1080p model easily passes 7-8.
You make some very solid points, for sure. Yeah, there's that "give and take" factore when it comes to screens. Samsung is really going for that all day batter life and Evo certification, and I do agree that it does look good on a 15.6" panel, though some folks may want a bit higher. I spent like 15 minutes bragging up the display of last year's model in the first video I posted on this channel, letting folks know that it's better than what they're thinking. But, I really do think we should at least get a QHD option at this point, with the understanding that we'll take a hit in battery life. UHD might be overkill like you mentioned, except for creative pro's that are resolution sticklers. The display is nice, and it seems to be a bit more polished with the year's model, especially with it being a bit brighter. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your insight, truly appreciated.
I'm with you, especially since I want a mobile (not heavy) laptop so that I can travel and be on the move. Therefor, battery life is more important than 4k, especially since it's probably got one of the best 1080 panels around. I likely won't use it much to watch movies, but if I do, it will be on a long flight and 1080 is still MUCH better than any airline screen. And again, on a long flight, battery life is still more important to me.
@@craiglandman3776 You make some great points Craig. It might only be 1080p, but it's the best 1080p screen that I've ever seen, and I've used a ton of displays in my day. You'll enjoy movies on it, they look fantastic. The 1080p number gets forgotten quickly once you start using it 👍
Duck @ 15:15
Lol, thanks for watching!
Nice review, I just went with a 15.6 Sumsung Book pro 360, i7, 16GB and 1TB HDD last week because it was at deal on samsung site for $599 plus tax. Not sure if the upgrades are worth extra $500 for new Book2. Can you suggest if you have seen any major differences?
The upgrades to this year's model are nice, but not nice enough to justify the $500 price difference you have going on. I think you scored an AWESOME deal, that's a great price! 👊👍
USD or CAD ??
Was the deal that you got with the student and edducators offer?
@@lara02847 Yes it was the student deal.
@@parveen98113 USD
Is there any performance difference between the 15 inch and 13 inch?
The 15" model will perform slightly better, especially when getting pushed hard. It has 1 more fan than the 13" and can dissipate heat better due to the larger size. For most use cases though I doubt if you'd notice any real difference. Thanks for watching 👍
8GB is ok with this laptop, or it's going to be too slow.
Hi, thanks for stopping by again 👍 I would go with the 16gb model if you can, 8gb is pretty low in 2022 if you're doing any multitasking or heavy workloads of any kind.
A want to draw on it, therefor I need putting my hand on the screen. Should I worry breaking it? No, seriously, I have a slight fear of breaking these thin displays. What are your thoughts on this topic?
Thank you so much for watching! That's a very legitimate concern, I totally understand where you're coming from. The screen is ultra thin, but so far I haven't had any issues resting my palm on it while writing, both on this year's and last year's model. As long as your not too rough with it, I think you'll be fine for the long haul.
If you plan on using this mainly for writing and drawing, and not so much for PC related tasks, I'd also consider something like the tab s8 lineup. The tablets can take a lot more abuse since they are a solid slate of glass wrapped in armored aluminum, they're very strong and will have no problems handling lots of hand pressure over the long run.
@@RADERTECH I actually plan working on it too, mostly programming. But also drawing when my mind is overworked. (btw, YT algo brought me here)
@@Amejonah I'm glad the YT algorithm brought you by, appreciate you! Well in that case, sounds like the GB2Pro360 would be a great match for you. I'm a coder as well, and it's been working out well with Visual Studio. I don't have VS installed on this latest version yet, but have been using it on last year's model for a while now and it's been great. I just wish we'd get a 16:10 screen at some point, but I'm usually plugged into my large monitor when coding anyways, making it much more of a moot point. The writing experience on the gb2pro360 is better than on any other laptop, it just can't be touched really. I've had 2 hp spectre x360's and it blows both of them out of the water in regards to the pen input experience, it's really good. Thanks again for watching, I appreciate you!
@@RADERTECH Oh, do IntelliJ run on it well? As I know, it needs quite a lot of RAM to run.
Hi Rader small doubt. ..your Samsung galaxy s8 ultra tablet keyboard came along with the tab ??? Or you redeemed it saperatly
Hi Shiva. Mine came with the tab s8 Ultra as a pre-order gift. If you're thinking about buying one, I would strongly suggest waiting until it goes on sell. It's pretty nice, but the trackpad sort of sucks all in all, and it's real easy to tirgger accidental clicks. It doesn't really happen when you're on a flat surface, but it will in your lap.
Ohh thank you...but in India it was not delivered at same time...we need to log in the Samsung app and we have to place the order again....but it is a free of cost
@@shivareddy128 Oh, then definitely do it. Yeah, I've heard some regions work that way while others got it shipped with it. Mine showed up a few days after the tab came.
hey, how's the built quality, speaker and battery backup on this thing
It's too early to tell on the battery life, I should have a better idea in another 2 to 3 days. The build quality and speakers have both been upgraded this year. The flexing of the chassis is now gone, and the speakers sound much fuller, so to speak, compared to last year's model. So far I've been very impressed with it. Thank you so much for watching 👍
@@RADERTECH how does it compare to mackbook. i already have macbook pro 14inch not performance wise but in terms of built quality, display, battery, and portability
@@zeds07 Thank you so much for watching. So I would consider the MacBook pro 14 and GB2 Pro 360 to be very similar in the areas that you mentioned. Apple claims 17 hours of battery life, while Samsung claims 21 (neither is true of course, but they both do well). I would say the build quality is simailar as well, but the macbook will be able to take a little more abuse due to it being a bit thicker and more robust, if that makes any sesne. The display is sort of a wash, depending on what's important to you. You get higher res and crisper text with the macbook pro, but though the GB2 360 is lower resolution, the super amoled experience is really tough to beat. To be honest, if you already have the MacBook Pro 14 and it's relatively new, I think I'd just stick with it. But, if you're curious about the Samsung ecostyem or have other Samsung devices already, the GB2 Pro 360 is tough to beat, the experience is getting really good. For portabiltiy, they're both very similar. The macbook pro is slightly heavier at 3.5 lbs compared to 3.1 of the GB2 Pro 360, but that's such a small difference I doubt if you'd really notice it much.
I love the Mystic navy so I don't want to give it up. But yea samsung has so many trade in deals upgrading is easy
I love the Mystic Navy too, more than I thought I would end up liking it. Thank you so much for watching.
Do you think that the Samsung Galaxy book pro 360, 15.6 inch Oled, core i7, 16 gigs ram, 1TB ssd for $750 is worth it today? This deal is available on Samsung outlet.
So you can get a fully spec'd out 360 from last year for $750? That's a great price if it's new, totally worth it. There's not that big of a difference between this newer model and last year's model, and for $750 you'd be getting one heck of a machine. Much nicer than something you're going to grab off a shelf at Best Buy for that price, for sure. if you don't end up liking it, you'd likely be able to sell it for the same price you paid, or even a bit more. I'm seeing last year's 360 going new for $900 to $1000, and many listings are much higher than that, so you're sort of in a sweet spot as far as recouping your money if it doesn't work out for you. Then after you get it, you'll have a good idea if whether or not Samsung laptops will be a good choice for you in the future as well. If I were you, I'd snag that deal if it's new from the Samsung Outlet.
@@RADERTECH So I just received the laptop from Samsung outlet, i can confirm it's new. Only thing is that it's on Windows 10, so you have to update and install the free upgrade to windows 11 on your own. Otherwise, i agree, it's a sweet deal. Oh, no choice with the color either, it's mystic bronze aka pink...lol
@@creyous Okay, thanks for the information. Still a great deal 👍
Use the Tab S8 as extra monitor, get all the pixels you want.
Hi Alan, thanks for stopping by again, I appreciate you 👍Yes sir, using it as a second screen is simply awesome!
is it easy to use 15 inch model in tablet mode? dont you prefer 13 inch?
The 15" is a little big to use in tablet mode often, at least IMHO. I'd pick the 13" if you intend on using it like a tablet often. Also, if you do go with the 13", I'd probably go with the i5 over the i7. The i7 variant has been running hot for many folks, as thermals are hard to manage on the smaller machine. Thank you so much for watching 👍
@RADER TECH thanks for your quick and complete response🙏🏻
Do you prefer this device over Asus zenbook 14 flip?
@@sepehrsetareh3300 You're very welcome. I haven't used the zenbook yet, so I'm afraid I can't provide any inputs about it. If it's running Intel 12th gen, then it's worth considering.
Is there a free drawing software included
You get a 6 month free trial of Clip Studio Paint, an excellent and very popular drawing program.

I have a dell Inspiron 5406 2in1 and yesterday I recieved an Dell BIOS update which after installing the laptop was not booting. I tried all solutions in the internet but was of no use. Also this has happened in the previous BIOS update as well where I had to take to the Dell Service center. Can you tell this to Dell that all their BIOS updates are now coming with bugs? I sent them but they are not listening and abusing their power to silence the media outlets of the bugs in their BIOS update.

I'll be starting some preliminary benchmarks today and will be sharing them very soon. Only thing holding me back is getting through the work day right now, ha ha. Thank you so much for watching.
Can it play graphic intensive games?
You can to a certain degree, but this wouldn't be a good choice for triple AAA titles. It does well with genshin impact and Overwatch, about 60fps on low to medium settings, but those titles aren't very taxing. If gaming is your thing, I'd suggest picking up something with a dedicated GPU. Thank you so much for watching 👍
Love this one...!
Thank you so much, I appreciate you!
i owned bunch of laptops and still at 4k and let me tell you the truth battery sucks on those so i think 4k sucks for laptops unless its always plugged in desktop replacement but samsung needs 2k screen with those laptops but for me amoled and battery life are more priority than anything else.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts, appreciate you!
Yeah, 4K can definitely suck the battery down a lot fast, it would be nice if we saw a nice middle ground option like you mentioned.
Is the keyboard detachable?
No, it's not. But it does rotate all the way around to go into tablet mode. Thank you for watching👍
People are gaming on 24" 1080p, that resolution on 15.6" is good enough :)

Thanks again and highly recommend you to everyone!!
they should really work on the naming of those laptops. "Samsung galaxy book2 pro 360". Compare it to "ipad pro 2020" or "Surface pro 8". lol
Agreed. There's been so many times that I get these crazy long names wrong that I have to chop up my edits like a salad 🤣 Thanks for watching 👍
I dont understand their tablets have almost 4k display and 120hz. But however they want to give better battery life. I'd rather have a slightly thicker laptop and bigger battery that will give us great battery life gives us full videos experience without scarficing the specs.
That's what Samsung makes the Odyssey laptop line for. These are for folks wanting all day battery life, but still great peformance. Thansk for watching.
@@RADERTECH in that case give us a slightly thicker laptop mackbooks still feel pretty slim while being thicker and giving great battery life and offering high refresh rate. Whats holding me of from recommend their galaxy book pro over the tablets are speakers, 60hz that FHD+ display, the flex the cheaper feeling keyboard as spen is no were near as good as a galaxt tab. As much as I like this ecosystem fisca these are the things that are holding me off
@@Shan_Shah We can agree to disagree. I do agree with you on the 60hz and FHD part, but not on the rest of your points, I'm sorry. The speakers are great, Dolby Atmos wasn't even enabled yet in the unboxing. Once enabled, they blow a majority of laptop speakers away, extremely good for .47" thin and 3.1lb machine. I like how thin it is, I wouldn't want it any thicker, there's a ton of machines out there that are thicker. Few are thinner and better than this It will be in the full review. The chassis is extremely stiff for how light this, impressively stiff in fact. Please try one before you cast judgement, I think you might be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for watching.
@@RADERTECH The speakers are in the wrong place and covered up when u put it on a surface.

i got mine for 660 bucks. 16g RAM 1tb ssd
Great price!!!
Is the 360 full unibody metal? If so does it actually feel like metal like a MacBook. I sometimes find that many metal windows laptops feel like plastic as the metal is so thin. I agree about the screen resolution. Im deciding whether to get this or just wait for the M2 Macbook Air.
It's completely metal, the top and bottom are both cold as an ice cube. But, the bottom chassis is super thin, so you may not like how that feels. It's definitely a bit thinner than the bottom of any of the MacBook's, but not by much. This year's model has a much stiffer bottom chassis and it's hard to get it to flex anywhere, so that's a good thing. If you're already in the Apple ecosystem, I'd say wait for the M2. But, if you have Samsung devices, then you have a much tougher decision on your hands. Tough call really. Thank you so much for watching.
more or less the same... they could improve the resolution at least 2k and 90hz, with only that it could be a good deal....also its sad they dont include the new intel graphics in the 360 line.... people that buy this computer are graphic desingners and creators that need the pen and a good graphic card.... for me if i se the previous version for 900 - 1200 € y prefer than the new model for 1700
I wish we had a higher resolution and higher refresh rate option as well, I would have definitely picked it though the battery life would be much worse. I don't think a dedicated GPU would benefit graphics designers nor illustrators much though. Photoshop, Illustrator and many of the top CAD programs are much more CPU intensive than GPU. GPU performance is more important for gaming and video creators like myself, as rendering is handled primarily by the GPU and not CPU. For artists, the CPU performance for Photoshop is extremely good, it's testing very high. Thanks for watching 👍

1080p 60hz display in 2022 at this price range is a sin. Absolutely unacceptable
It is priced way too high for 1080p, I completely agree. But for those of us that pre-ordered and did the trade-in, we got it for about $400 less, so about $1,100 or so for the maxed out i7 15.6" version. That's a price I can get behind, but not $1,549, that's way too high. I can almost guarantee we won't see 1080p next year - we better not, lol. Thank you so much for watching 👍
Honestly after having a 4k display laptop vs a non 4k, I'll say that the battery life is much better. Having non 4k display on a laptop you need to move around a lot is essential.
Samsung makes displays so why don't we see 4k or 2560×1440 to be honest it's stupid.
I would love to see QHD offered, but I'm not personally interested in 4K, not for a machine designed to last all day. It comes down to battery life, and pushing those pixels. The more pixels that get pushed, the more of a hit we take in performance. That's one of the main reason's this laptop is testing higher than almost all other laptops with integrated graphics and are 12th gen, and it is the fastest current gen 2-in-1 out. Samsung can put any screen on it that they want, but they have an R&D team along with top engineers that test all of the options before we see them. There's something not working out well with the higher res options, else we'd already have seen them by now. Thanks for watching.
@@RADERTECH QHD+ is good but on a larger display I'd would want to see something like 4k fro example the tab s8+ appears better while the ultra not so great. On a 13 inch model QHD+ but on 15 inch we should see UHD. Its kinda wierd that their flagship tablets have almost 4k display while their laptop remaining 1080p. Even on the tab s8 ultra I wished we had 4k cause the quality feels like a downgrade fron the tab s7+. The s8 ultra is over 2'' bigger while being very slightly higher than the s7+. even something like 3520x1980 where as on the tab s8 ultra 3840x2400 something very close to 4k. On smartphone 2k is fine in reality 2k is 1080 and its usually marketed as 1440p when 2k is 2048x1080 and 4k is 4096x2160 while in reality being count 3840x2160 as 4k but not 1920x1080 as 2k its bad marketing. Either ways back to the point when going down from QHD+ to FHD+ even on a candy bar smartphone the differences are noticable believe me or not. And ya its not about better opition its sometimes about big brands ripping people off and getting away with thing because if any chinese companies did things like that people would question them. Brands like apple and samsung are getting away with things like that becuase they are branded.
@@Shan_Shah I agree with all of this. I was a little bummed when finding out we were taking a PPI hit with the Ulra, and I do wish they would make their default resolution for laptops higher than 1080p, it does seem a bit 2015'ish. You make some good points, thank you.
@@RADERTECH also make the 144hz the standard while putting 120hz in mid range and 75-90hz on the cheapest $100 tech and discountine and stop making 60hz panel move on from that. 75hz is a great upgrade from 60hz and doesn't make a difference in battery life at the very most 10-15 mins difference which I don't consider a difference while the smoothness gain is noticable
@@RADERTECH and also I don't mean ultra thick just very slightly the it won't me noticible. Like the Mac is a good thickness can't tell the difference in real life unless u put it next to their laptops. Lime I mean increase from 0.47" to about 0.54". Incremental thickness increase impossible to Differentiate unless compared in real life.
That lower bezel must go.... yuck. Should use 16:10 to get rid of it... 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Ha ha, it can be an eyesore if you're staring at it. But keep in mind that everything you think you want is actually a give and take thing, especially with laptops. By switching to 16:10, we'd most likely lose the numpad and you'd 100% for sure see black bars when viewing media, instead of getting the full screen experience you get on this panel. Also, it'll have to push more pixels, so GPU performance would take a hit. Battery life would take a hit too. Things to consider. All things considered, I do slightly prefer a 16:10 panel for most situations, except for coding, S Notes and media consumption. They all benefit from 16:9. Thanks for watching 👍
@@RADERTECH how the hell would the numpad be gone if you are just gonna put a 16:10 screen size? No logic in your statement. The other things you said are valid.
@@lllbenjolll Easy answer bud. At 15.6", you have a 13.6" wide deck to work with. For the same size screen that's 16:10, you lose width and it goes down to 13.2", of which is not wide enough for a numpad, unless it was made for small children, ha ha. So the 16:10 screen would have to go up to exactly 16" to be the same width. A 16" panel will draw a lot more battery, I'm sure Samsung thought that through. You can validate my results with this screen aspect ratio calculator - screen-size.info/. Please don't take this comment as me trying to bash you or anything, I promise I'm not that type of guy. It's just I've been dealing with laptops for so long, due to being in IT for over 20 years, that I've truly seen it at all at this point. I'm sitting on 6 machines right now, it's always a high number around here, ha ha. Thanks for all of your inputs, I do appreciate you.
Then make it a 16 inch plus screen. Just freaking add more screen at the bottom to replace the ugly bottom bezel...
@@RADERTECH by the way, the dell xps line up and razer book 13 are the best looking laptops with slim bezel designs... when do you think samsung and other brands do the same? Samsung has the best technology when it comes to screens and they are behind design-wise in the laptop category.
Don't buy Samsung! They are ripoffs. I got a new Galaxy BookPro 360 and, three months later, it suddenly could not find any WiFi networks. I spent nearly a whole day on chat with their "help" department. Every 20 min or so, a new person would come on and I had to start all over again. They kept sending me links to fixes, not seeming to understand that my problem was that I could not get onto the internet. Finally, after several hours, the machine just completely froze up and they told me I'd have to send it in for repairs. After all of that, I told them I wanted a refund as I no longer had any faith in their machine or their company. They said they only issue refunds within 15 days of taking delivery. They did not care that they sold me a $1,600 piece of junk that quit working after 3 months. They would not budge on the refund. Do not send them any of your hard earned money. They don't know how to handle it ethically.
Oh wow, I'm really sorry to hear this happened to you. Reminds me of my trade-in nightmare with AT&T, I'm trying to hard to forget about it. That's not like them usually, but I totally do believe you. There's another youtube channel called The Digital Digest ran by a very cool guy named Ed. He just went through a nightmare in getting his Fold 3 replaced. He finally did, but it took several weeks to get them to budge, and he has a ton of subscribers and has supported Samsung for a long time.
I've personally been using their products for over 10 years now without a single issue, but I do understand everyone has their own experiences to share, and I appreciate your sharing yours. Also, thank you so much for watching 👍
@@RADERTECH - It was my first encounter with Samsung and it was a very bitter one. I will never buy another one of their products as long as I live. The thing that got me most was that they kept telling me that they have this policy that says they don't issue refunds after 15 days and that they were constrained by that policy as if it were a law or a commandment from god. I said that, since they wrote the policy, they could change it or make exceptions in severe circumstances such as one of their expensive machines breaking down completely after a short time. No exception could be made for the fact that they sent me the Chevy Vega of computers. I will not grant them an exception, either, of my policy of making sure they never get a nickel of mine again.
@@jerometaperman7102 I don't blame you. I'm really sorry this happened to you, that really does suck :(
