Storage, Display and Design (Samsung Galaxy Book 2)

For storage, we get to see 512 GB, and we may sollicitive drive by Samsung. We also get to see, here, Intel’s Iris XE graphics. It’s a 15.6-inch full HD display, which refresh rate is 60 hertz. Its viewing angle, brightness, and of course, its overall color reproduction. It’s way up there. It’s quite sturdy. And in the area of keyboard, it almost has next to no flex whatsoever. So it’s just great.. I’m going to be very real with you. It’s around one and a half millimeter overall travel. But the keyboard does feel really good to type on. And we’re going to talk about its trackpad. That is also very smooth and gets the job done very amazingly.

Hardware

Basically, the combination of the hardware that this thing has, that is Intel Core i5 of the 12th generation, plus 16 gigs of high frequency RAM, these two combined with the Intel Iris XE iGPU, so this combination is basically a very mean combination, and it’s not a humble combination, hence, performance is great.

Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Gaming Experience

Now, let’s talk about gaming. Here, I have run two games in this laptop. The first game was GTA V, and the second game was For the IGI, which currently, I’m playing here. And in both games, I was able to find out that finally, in Intel’s processors, or we’re talking about this laptop. Here, you are able to run games, even though it is a low setting, but at the native resolution of full HD, you are running games.

When I tried playing GTA V, the average frame rate was well above 70 FPS, and while I was playing IGI, the average frame rate was 31 FPS, which is both very respectable, considering the fact that it is not a discrete GPU, and also that it is a proper thin and light laptop. Now, it clearly does not mean that you have a cyberpunk or as a new novel, a AAA title, it just means that in case you want to play games like GTA V, CS:GO, Valorant, and even games like IGI, Call of Duty, so these games can be played here.

Verdict of  the Samsung Galaxy Book 2

Samsung Galaxy Book 2 is a very well-built, thin and light laptop, and where the thin and light laptop mostly is just basic work. This, on the other hand, does not care about the boundaries set by an average thin and light laptop. Samsung has selected the hardware combination, like the Intel 12 Gen processor, plus that high-frequency RAM, which they have built quality using aluminum body, plus the amount of I/O ports, plus the 54 Wh battery. All of that, when combined, basically gives you a complete package in a thin and light form factor. Currently, this machine is selling at the price of 600($) on Amazon and ₹49829 price in INDIA of Samsung Galaxy Book 2 on Amazon.
