Hey what's up guys here, this is a new galaxy book 2 pro 360 with the latter giving you that spinny tablet touchscreen experience and surprisingly for Samsung who usually take things out of the box this s pen actually comes bundled with it the problem is though there are so many great ultra thin and light premium laptop these galaxy book have their work cut out if they're gonna stand out from the dell XPS 13 plus or the Acer swifts or sue Zen books or of course the MacBook air which is to a refresh soon so what do these offer well building on the terrific galaxy books from last year we once again have an incredibly thin and light design I mean seriously I'm holding the 15-inch one here one-handed just flinging about we're talking kg gram levels of light weight, Now this time it is now 33 brighter and certified display HDR 500. although that 500 nits brightness is only when playing HDR content normally it'll peak at 400 nits which is still very good but because the screen is quite reflective sometimes if you have bright lights around you or you are using this outside which you may well do as these are all about portability then it can still be a little bit tricky to see sometimes but it is certainly a step up from last year however what has remained the same is this 16 by 9 aspect ratio with a relatively chunky chin at the bottom now I know not everyone agrees but I much prefer a slightly taller 16 by 10 screen and also it is just 60 hertz there is no extra smooth 120 hertz like we get on say the surface pro 8. now on the inside we're getting new processors in the form of Intel's 12th gen p series which Samsung say will actually give us a 75 boost in multi-core performance, these are the same chips used in the new dell XPS 13 plus and also according to some early benchmarks that we're seeing these new p series chips can actually outperform apple's m1 which is great until you realize the m1 has been out for you know the best part of two years now and we're about to get a refreshed m2 and also that's sort of a 10 15 watt chip versus the 28 watt p series from Intel so great news that Intel is sort of finally catching up and maybe even going beyond the m1 but in the scheme of things I think apple is still well ahead but for a windows laptop good stuff and that's paired with faster ddr5 ram up to 32 gigs of the stuff and also up to a terabyte of storage we also now get punchier speakers thanks to a new smart amp as well as an upgraded 1080p webcam with a wider field of view now 87 degrees up from 77 as well as auto framing to keep you centered the new galaxy box also get thunderbolt 4 WI-FI 6e upgraded security features fast 65 watt charging which will also quick charge your galaxy phone and tablet and of course if you do have say a tab s8 then you can use that as a second screen in a very similar way to apple's sidecar with iPads and Mac Books, So anyway this laptop is awesome.
