The Samsung Galaxy Book offers solid productivity performance, a comfortable keyboard, and good battery life in a thin, lightweight chassis. However, its subpar display, flexible build quality, and lack of compelling business features make it a less compelling choice at $900.

Professional Reviews
2 reviews from 2 critics“In the end, the Galaxy Book is a clear reminder that Samsung’s laptop division plays second, or perhaps fifth, fiddle to everything else the Korean tech company has going on—so if you need a capable sub-$1,000 laptop, look elsewhere.”
