Restored Restored Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 13" 512GB (Graphite) Intel Core i7 AMOLED (Refurbished)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this laptop arrived to me earlier than expected, which was a pleasant surprise. The computer itself is stylish, thin, and light. I have an S-pen and it works just as well on the GB360 as it does on my S8+. The keyboard is nice, albeit with a little bit of flex, but not terrible. The screen is bright and crisp, the colors are good, and the speakers are ok to good. I use this computer mainly for MS Office and other productivity related tasks. It will play the few games I'd want it to actually be capable of playing (think Diablo, C&C, and runs retroarch without issue). Overall I'd say if you are in the market for a laptop, the GB3 series is very nice. If you are in the Samsung ecosystem already, this is a no brainer addition.

Highlights: -Lightweight -Nice overall -Build quality is pretty good -It gets pretty bright -Ports are divorce and very welcome until we transfer entirely to USB C -I was concerned the screen wiggle would bother me but honestly haven't even noticed, so that was nice -SIZE! I came from a 12 in Surface, and that extra space is drastically better and makes all the difference for productivity. Same with keypad Pain points: -Fingerprint magnet (esp screen)! -Bezels and keyboard are black, which isn't a deal breaker per se, but it does take away from the aesthetic -Screen is super glossy -Sensor is fingerprint not face. Which isn't bad, but I missed it -Metal chassis is FREEZING in colder weather. If you need/want to work outside in slightly cooler temps, this laptop is not comfortable to use at least initially -Weirdly, they decided to put the trackpad off center to the left -Build quality: there was one issue a couple months in where the hinge and screen parted ways ever so slightly, when no one was near it and my kids weren't around. But Samsung was gracious and replaced it for free. -Would have liked to have an integrated S Pen like one of the earlier Samsung laptops I had but not a deal breaker as it still works with the included S Pen. That it is included was nice too. -Would have liked to see at least 1 more USB C port but everyone seems to be going minimalist nowadays.
