CR's Take
The AMOLED touchscreen display on this Samsung Galaxy Book Pro is Excellent, with bright, accurate colors, high contrast, and wide viewing angles. Its lightweight, convertible form-factor gives it the flexibility to switch between laptop and tablet modes; plus, the stylus is a convenient way to navigate as a tablet, especially if you're away from a standard desk during travels. However, performance speeds are good for complex productivity work, but you might notice a slowdown during more demanding video games or graphical tasks. It lasted a long 20.25 hours in web browsing battery tests, which is top among similar size models tested.About Consumer Reports
