It's more then I can ask for sense i didn't really use laptops in the past but it's better then the last one I had and I hope to keep this one for years to come:)
So far, the battery life has been outstanding, the performance had been great. A slight negative is the size of the tracking pad. It is a little large and compresses the keyboard. It takes getting used to but is ok.
The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 16" is a versatile 2-in-1 laptop featuring a stunning AMOLED display, powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, and ample 1TB SSD storage. Its sleek, lightweight design and 360-degree hinge provide great both productivity and entertainment. With a long-lasting battery life of up to 24 hours, it is ideal for all-day use. The integrated Intel Arc graphics enhance creative tasks, making it a reliable choice for professionals and creatives alike. However, the keyboard might feel uncomfortable during extended typing sessions, and some AI features may not meet all expectations. Overall, it stands out as a high-performing, portable device that excels in both functionality and style.
TLDR: Generally, I am disappointed to say the laptop is not amazing.
I had a version of this from a few generations ago and it doesn't feel like nearly the upgrade that it is on paper. It works fine once settings are changed to high performance, but certainly nothing to write home about. The Samsung software is buggy and often doesn't work correctly and something feels off about the track pad. Also, Samsung Notes AI features are not present on the galaxy book version of the software. Add this to the fact that you can't use Samsung Notes on a desktop anymore, and it leaves me questioning if it's worth continued investment in the Samsung ecosystem. If you can live without Samsung Notes, the answer is probably no. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a good cross platform option other than Samsung Notes, for now...
Pros: The screen is beautiful and writing/note taking is wonderful. The laptop is probably worth it on sale, but I wouldn't advocate for paying full price.
