To recap
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, plus its not-so-bright screen, hold the Galaxy Book back from being exceptional. But for £650 all-in, it’s got plenty of positives for its well-considered price — and given that many £1,000+ competitors can’t even last half a day, Samsung’s more affordable approach makes plenty of sense.
