Galaxy Book 12 review: One of the best convertibles around, but it's not a Surface-killer

Portable design ; Good battery life ; Super-vibrant AMOLED screen

Lack of ports is a pain ; Keyboard stand mechanism isn’t the best

Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6

Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6 review: A great note-taking Windows 10 tablet for under £700, including a stylus and keyboard

Ultra-portable design ; Excellent stylus for note-taking ; Decent keyboard ; Good screen

Middling performance ; Mediocre battery life

The Galaxy Book 10.6 is for light work only. Despite the great stylus, you won’t be doing your big 3D work projects on this device, although you may be able to crack on with drawing workloads. With just 4GB of RAM, you’ll need to be careful about how...

Samsung Galaxy Book review

A titillating but troubled 2-in-1 device

Gorgeous display ; Essential accessories included ; Competitive battery life

Still-poor keyboard cover ; Sub-premium materials ; No Windows Hello

Despite an incredible screen and strong battery life, if you’re not able to make liberal use of Samsung’s phone-exclusive syncing and biometric login features via Samsung Flow, there aren’t many compelling reasons to pick up the Galaxy Book over...

Samsung Galaxy Book (10.6 inch) review: The affordable, long-lasting Windows 2-in-1

Seen as a laptop alternative we do find the Galaxy Book's keyboard cover/stand overly fussy, plus its trio of positions isn't exactly flexible. This,

Strong battery life as spec isn’t all-powerful ; Intel Core M3 chipset means silent operation ; S Pen stylus and Island Type keyboard included ; Reasonable price point

Still uses a horribly fussy keyboard stand ; Lack of ports and no full-size USB ; Material choices don’t aren’t visually high-end

The Samsung Galaxy Book trims the price compared to its TabPro S spiritual predecessor, which is a big step in the right direction. Working against this positive, however, is just how well finished its quality competitors are, such as the pricier...

Samsung Galaxy Book review

The Galaxy Book is an affordable alternative to Samsung's high-end Pro and Flex lines, but there are too many compromises for most people here

Solid performance ; Attractive display ; Decent port selection

Underwhelming battery life ; Unreliable trackpad ; No fingerprint or face unlock

The Galaxy Book has the potential to be a great laptop, but its key weaknesses have a big effect on day-to-day usage. Considering the strength of the competition, most people are better off looking elsewhere.

Samsung Galaxy Book review: Taking the fight to Microsoft’s Surface Pro, but which version is best?

Samsung's Galaxy Book is affordable, compact and refined – at this price, it's the Windows hybrid to beat, but which should you buy?

Great bundled keyboard and stylus ; Decent performance given price ; Standout display

Middling battery life ; Uninspiring design

Samsung is still keen to deliver a knockout blow against the Surface family, and it’s fair to say that both 10.6in and 12in Galaxy Books land one square on Microsoft’s chin. They might not be the most luxurious-feeling devices, but the Galaxy Book...

Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6 review

Samsung's second go at a Windows 2-in-1 has a surface-beating price

Galaxy Pen & keyboard cover bundled in box ; Decent desktop performance ; The price is right

Keyboard cover not all that sturdy ; Misses out on attention-grabbing specs ; Battery life only average

The 10.6in model isn’t as attention-grabbing as its bigger brother, but it successfully undercuts Microsoft’s cheapest Surface

With its eyes placed firmly on the Microsoft Surface Pro range, the Samsung Galaxy Book wants a slice of the tablet/laptop hybrid pie, with this 10.6-inch model placing it's hope in the included keyboard (something that you have to pay extra for with...

Samsung Galaxy Book review

(Rating Hidden)

The Samsung Galaxy Book is a laptop/tablet hybrid, introducing a keyboard to the traditional slab in an attempt to make it more practical. We've seen plenty of variations on these in the past, from all major manufacturers, and the market is starting to...
