Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6" 64GB Windows Tablet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Galaxy Book a few weeks ago and had a chance to play with it excessively. I've been wanting to upgrade both my tablet as well as my laptop. This is the perfect marriage of both world. I didn't want another Android base tablet. I wanted a tablet/laptop that can handle my daily work and play. I've always love the design of the Samsung product and this one did not disappoint me at all. I had a chance to connect my projector to the Galaxy Book and it was flawless. I paired it up with my Amazon Echo. It was better than I expected. My daughter who's 4 years old love the 3D paint software. She was playing with it for hours. So far the battery life seems to be able to handle at least 7 hours of non stop movie watching and internet browsing. I will have to test some more to see the full potential of this device. But as of right now, it's been nothing but wonderful for our family. Looking forward to playing with it some more. So after playing with this Laptop/Tablet for about 3 weeks now. I noticed the battery life is ok. I get about 6-7 hours on normal use and about 4-5 hours when I play movies and games on it. So far the tablet seems to be Ok. I'm used to a physical home button on the tablet so for me not having one was a little getting use too. The stylus pen is pretty remarkable. The only thing I wasn't able to do with the stylus is to swipe up to scroll on the screen. I thought it would be like your finger when you swipe. So that aspect of the stylus I would like for it to change. I've enjoyed the flexibility and portability of being able to switch from tablet mode to laptop mode quickly. My daughter is used to a tablet and I like to convenient of having a keyboard to type. All in All this hybrid is an excellent device. I recently took it on a business trip and had to do a lot of note taking. People were pretty impress with the device. Easy to detached the device and use it as just a tablet or connect it and have it as a laptop. One other thing, the device boots up super quick. No need to wait minutes for the device to be ready to use. In less than 15 seconds, you are ready to play... This device is the definition of "To Infinity and Beyond"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I was a little disappointed with this product. My main reason for wanting this device was for working at night when I'm home and for business travel. I was looking for a product that seamlessly integrated the aspects of what you want in a computer and tablet. I am very tired of having to carry both around with me. I enjoyed how easy the sign in process was, and that the device came loaded with Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. I was really surprised at how easy it was to work in PowerPoint and Excel on this device. I was concerned that everything would be too small and I would not be able to use the tools of excel easily, but the interface worked great and I was able to get all of my work completed. I also liked the device's ability to switch from computer to tablet mode so easily. There were quite a few things I was disappointed with, however. One, there is an app store on the device, but when I went to download the apps that I use, none of them would download. They were all there and when I tried to click into the app page to download, nothing happened. I want to be able to have Netflix, and Facebook apps on the tablet so I don't have to constantly be using the browser. Two, I really loved the idea of the Samsung notes app, but when I went to use it I realized you could only write notes with the stylus and could not type. Additionally, the notes would not convert from written to typed. If I want to send out notes from a meeting I am certainly not going to send them with my handwriting. Finally, I was most disappointed with the wake-up feature when I opened the device. When I would open the keyboard I would have to press the on/off button to wake-up the device, and over half the time that resulted in me accidentally shutting the device off and losing some of the work I had done. That issue has never happened on my laptop. I wish this device had more tablet features, like apps and writing conversion, so that I felt more compelled to give up my tablet. However, if you are looking for a great on-the-go laptop for business, this is definitely your device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Book looks like a tablet with a keyboard attached and of course the nifty drawing pen. But it also has the windows 10 operating system, which I had no clue how to use. Cortana is the assistant that helps you navigate everything, including the hardware and software, but there is also a tips app loaded on the computer itself. It also comes loaded with different drawing apps and sticky notes. The screen resolution on the Galaxy Book is absolutely amazing. I had no issues with WiFi setup and it picked up my devices vey quickly with no issues. Printed documents immediately, didn't have to find a driver. There were a couple things I did not care for though. Main one being no USB port, the screen tends to come unmatched from the keyboard very easily and i wish it had a better prop up for the screen. The computer can be a bit awkward if bearing down on your leg or anything else other than a table. When I transferred some music via Bluetooth it downloaded pretty quick. All in all, I do enjoy the Galaxy Book.

Overall I like this tablet for the price point. I'd give it 4.5 if they let me use half stars. I'm using it as a secondary computer, with my desktop as primary. Mostly I use it to edit office documents, check emails, and browse the web when I'm not in my office. And for that it's fine. The Core M processor and 4 gigs of RAM is zippy enough to handle all that (I wouldn't try gaming on it though beyond simple things like Candy Crush.) It's stuttered a few times, but usually because I've tried to pen too many things (several IE tabs, a word document, and due to a mistake on my part 2 instances of one note.) I love that for the money it came with both the pen and the keyboard case. I would have liked a hinge instead of the folding magnet stand, but once you get used to the magnet stand it works pretty well. (Putting it in the low angle "draw" mode took me a second to figure out, but once I saw that you put the top part of the coverstand into the crease on the keyboard side it made sense. It's the least stable of the positions though. The upright typing positions are far more stable.) It does run a bit warm if you push it. Mostly this is fine as the case (which stays on all the time for the most part) keeps the heat off your hands, but it is noticeable. (And doesn't take playing a heavy game to get warm. Watching video will do it.) Thus far I haven't had a battery life problem. I've used it for several hours at a time. It would probably go most of the day with moderate use. It charges off USB C, so the normal cables I keep with my phone won't charge it. It did charge off the Samsung adaptive chargers that came with my S7 Edge, (and vice versa).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to start of by saying I'm so happy to have been picked to try this out.I like how it's easy to hold and carry with you.The screen resolution is great I can use it anywhere I go I love it.I like that you can use the a keyboard,I do wish the keyboard was stronger.When it's night time I just use it without the keyboard it's easy and convenient for me.Even my son loves using it and he loves the games on it.I highly recommend it,the processor and speed are great and work fast.My husband also loves it and uses it too.I love that it comes with a pen for easy touch and you can use it to draw.I needed and new laptop and this is light weight.The volume is great and not too loud for the night.
