Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 13.3" Full HD Laptop, Intel Core i7 i7-1260P, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Home, NP930XED-KF1US

I have got this lovely Book2 Pro since the beginning of April 2022. When i opened the package it arrived in, it impressed me. I have since used the laptop a lot and must say I am surprised how good it is. The 16Gb make a lot of difference. Had there been a 32Gb version, I would have gone for that, but it was not available. I bought the laptop to take along with me when I am writing my books. I use it mainly for research on the internet and then with Scrivener to write. The long-lasting battery is excellent. Provided I do not sit in direct sunlight, the battery lasts me the entire day. In direct sunlight, however, it does become a drain on the battery. However, one can extend the usage time if one changes the background colours to a darker mode. I would have liked the display, which is excellent with amazing colours, to be a little brighter when I sit in some coffee shop and write in the sunshine. (one perk of the job.) I absolutely love the keyboard. It is a joy to type on it. I prefer to use a mouse instead of the touchpad. So I switch the touchpad off. Sometimes the space is too narrow and I have to use the touchpad, and it is so easy to switch it on. When it gets dark, I enjoy the back-lit keyboard. It makes life so much easier. Everything considered, it is an outstanding laptop for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you first open the box a beautiful silver, slim laptop is there waiting. It is very nicely packaged with the computer and USBC charger. It is partially charged for easy start up. It was charged at 15% and within 10 minutes of plugging it in it was at 30%. There are two USBC ports, HDMI output, a USB 3.0 which makes for faster data transfer, a micro SD slot as well as a microphone jack. Once I turned it on I had to sign in with my microsoft account and customize a few quick settings and I was up and running. The desk top runs a full Windows operating system. It resembles a standard microsoft laptop. The screen is full view with a thin frame and very vibrant picture. The keyboard is a pretty white color with nice back light. The touch pad is large and its responsiveness is customizable to your liking. It has a large 500gb hard drive and was not much bloatware pre-installed so a majority of space is still available. One aspect I wish this had was a touch screen. It has 8GB of RAM and a Core i5 processor so everything runs pretty quickly and running multiple programs or windows does not lag. It also comes with Windows 11 Home installed. It has a Microsoft store so all of your favorite apps are available and easy to download. This being a Samsung device is great for me because my phone is a Samsung so having the Samsung catalog of apps available makes a seamless transition from one device to the next. You can pick up where you left off and all your data can be accessed conveniently. Using the Quick Share option can be useful to easily transfer information. Aside from this being a full capability Microsoft computer it is also an extension of your current Samsung devices. I feel like that is what sets it apart from other laptops or computers. Overall, this is a great device that will simplify my projects and day to day usage and I would definitely recommend especially because it is so easy to use.
