But my i7, 16GB review unit handled almost everything I threw at. Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 Performanceĭespite the slick design and rapid bootup speed, the Galaxy Book Pro 360 isn’t necessarily a powerhouse that runs the best and latest games. This is a tantalizing prospect for people who travel a lot. Like all 2-in-1 laptops I find it a bit odd to hold a device with a keyboard on the back, but the solid hinge acting as a built-in laptop-stand really is a stroke of genius because the device switches into a more viewable TV or work surface in one motion. The S-Pen latency is good and responsive, and in tent mode-which can be adjusted to different heights thanks to the stiff hinge-felt like a real aide to my drawing.īending the screen back disables the keyboard so you don’t need to worry about accidental presses. But using the accompanied S-Pen in tent mode is good, especially with apps like Pen Up. There’s a sluggishness to it, which makes me question why Samsung made a 2-in-1 device if it didn’t execute this bit perfectly. The touchscreen isn’t the most responsive I’ve ever used. Once in, you can put the device in tent mode (see below) and watch content or use the touchscreen display. The display folds backwards (hence the “360” title) and the screen automatically rotates, but tablet mode has to be manually turned on. The main event is the Galaxy Book's ability to turn into a tablet. I’d recommend turning down the sensitivity to the lowest option for a more familiar experience. Things I’d clicked on would drag rather than be released after I’d let let go of the button on the trackpad. I also experienced some palm-rejection and stickiness issues.

I often found myself accidentally opening the context menu when I wanted to left click-again this is something you have to retrain yourself for. I understand the need to fill up space below the keys when the bottom half of the laptop is so big, but I’m not entirely sure such a large trackpad is the way to do it. The large touchpad also takes some getting used to. The Galaxy Book Pro 360 has a full-sized keyboard.
