Benefits
- Light and compact build. Weighing 1.18kg and measuring 0.74cm thick, the 12-inch Galaxy Book 12 is not a heavy laptop to lug around. Being so slim and light, this Galaxy Book can be taken anywhere, from the office, to lectures, business trips etc.
- Energetic Performance. Equipped with an Intel core i5-7200U CPU and 4GB of RAM, the Galaxy Book allows for extensive multi-tasking of applications without stutter. In similar fashion, the Intel HD Graphics 620 GPU in this notebook sends some thrill down the spine of gamers with modest expectations.
- Resplendent Display. With its 2160×1440px super AMOLED display, all content is brilliantly brought to life on this screen. The screen produces some of the most detailed and clear images to be seen in any 2-in-1 notebook.
Downsides
- Audio short of bass. This Galaxy Book’s speakers are loud enough to be heard in a medium-sized conference room. However, while vocals and higher octave sounds come through clearly, the bass is tellingly deficient.
- Mediocre battery life. Samsung claims that this laptop can endure 11 hours of average use, which is not quite the case in daily use. The notebook hit 6 hours and 38 minutes while surfing the net over Wi-Fi and six hours, 32 minutes over LTE. These figures are below the 8 hours, 20 minutes average for ultraportables. However, as a plus, this model supports Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging, which as claimed by the manufacturers themselves can fully charge the Galaxy Book in less than 3 hours.
Verdict
The 12-inch Samsung Galaxy Book features a bright display, powerful processors and a sizeable storage volume of 256 SSD. All of these components lifts your laptop experience without compromising on efficiency. However, it’s below par battery and audio imperfections leave a blemish on the laptop’s quality. Overall, the Galaxy Book 12-inch display is not quite exciting for its price of £1,439 on Amazon.
