#Samgsung impression 720p
Right near the ridge that will open up the laptop you’ll find a 1080p webcam, which is a step up from the 720p webcam of the Galaxy Book Pro and indeed the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360. Just be sure to remove the plastic foot covers, otherwise your laptop may well slide right off your desk the first time you open it. There’s a bit of a spring-like wobble when you adjust it, but it’s properly weighted so that it can be opened easily with one thumb. The hinge is nicely calibrated, running most of the length of the body. There’s undoubtedly a degree of flex here that you don’t get with heavier laptops, but it still feels reasonably solid. The pay-off for the Book 2 Pro’s slim and light body is the use of plastic in the construction of its body, with only the display section betraying any hint of metal. The non–5G model with 256GB storage comes in Silver, which is seemingly much less prone to this issue but 512GB also comes in Graphite. It becomes a downright showcase for your sweaty fingerprints in no time at all. It’s not that it doesn’t look stealthy and classy – it does – but it suffers from the same thing that almost every other dark-toned laptop does. This 5G model only comes in a Graphite tone, which is a bit of a shame.
#Samgsung impression portable
Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro review: Pleasantly portable Which is kind of what ‘laptops’ were invented for, after all. At a mere 1.16kg (the Wi-Fi model is just 1.1kg), it’s significantly lighter than rivals such as the 2kg Huawei MateBook 16s and the 1.8kg Dell XPS 15.Ĭombined, it makes the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro one of the most pleasant premium 15-inch+ laptops to actually use on your lap. More impressive than the laptop’s size is its lightness. I’m not sure whether that’s accurate or not, but at 11.7mm thick I’m not inclined to disagree. Samsung boasts that the Galaxy Book 2 Pro is the world’s thinnest laptop in its class. Going Wi-Fi only opens up the possibility of a higher specification, which includes an Intel Core i7–1260P processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. This 5G model limits you to an Intel Core i5–1240P CPU, a 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. My review spec is the 15in 5G model, but there are also non–5G variants in both 15- and 13in sizes, though I’m focussing on the larger option here. Launched alongside the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 2-in–1, this is a premium laptop with an incredibly slim and lightweight body, 12th-gen Intel power, and a vibrant 15.6in AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro is the new flagship, and it could very well be its best yet. Since Samsung’s return to the laptop business in 2020, it’s turned out some seriously impressive machines at a variety of price points.
