From its speedy processing power that is only bested by the M1 MacBook Air in the sub-$1,000 category to the comfortable keyboard and variety of ports, Samsung surprised me with an impressive, well-adapted laptop. Plus, the typical silver design screamed “I’m like a MacBook, but cheaper!” My already scarce optimism was dwindling fast.Īs the saying goes, to assume is to make an “ass” out of “u” and “me,” and I certainly felt like one after using the Galaxy Book for work and entertainment. The 11th Gen Intel processor piqued my interest, but the Core i5 quickly extinguished my excitement.
I’ll be blunt: I assumed the latest Samsung Galaxy Book wouldn’t amount to much as soon as I took it out of the box.
