79.8% Samsung Galaxy Book2 15 review - multimedia laptop with Arc A350M fails to impress | Notebookcheck
The Galaxy Book2 is an interesting multimedia laptop that Samsung is bringing to the market. It features a 15.6-inch display and pairs an Intel Alder Lake CPU with the new Intel Arc A350M dedicated graphics card. In daily use, however, it disappoints in terms of both performance and image quality.

80% Samsung Galaxy Book2 Review: Scores high on utility
Source: The Times of India English
At a starting price of around Rs. 66,000, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 is at par with most of its competitors that you can buy. This is a handsome-looking laptop providing decent performance, especially for working professionals. Though you may miss a good battery backup, a fast charger fills the need. Samsung could have broken the trend and stuffed it with a bigger battery, considering its large 15.6-inch display. Also, the audio output could have been better with nicer speakers. Nonetheless, if you have a budget of Rs. 66000 the Samsung Galaxy Book2 is a solid laptop for consideration.

Samsung Galaxy Book2 review: Not the brightest, but still a star
Source: Business Standard English
Priced Rs 69,990 onwards, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 is a capable thin-and-lightweight laptop with a large 15.6-inch screen. It is not perfect but has a strong foundation geared towards performance and ease of use in order to compensate for the modern-day frills that it lacks. That said, the Galaxy Book2 would get eclipsed by feature-rich laptops in its segment, but it is a good package in its own right.

80% Samsung Galaxy Book2 review: a sleek work machine that gets the job done
Source: 91mobiles English
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 certainly comes across as a compelling device, especially suited for work and office goers. It does have a couple of niggles, but scores where it matters. Scoring high on design, portability and performance, it proves to be a capable option, and one worthy of close consideration when you’re on the lookout for a stylish, sleek laptop that packs lots of grunt.

60% Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 review: stylish but not always practical
Source: Creative Bloq English
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is a 2-in-1 device with a gorgeous screen, which is more than capable when you're using it for everyday tasks. However, when faced with processing heavy apps, battery life suffers. As a tablet, the idea behind this piece of kit is good, but it feels like Samsung needs to make a few tweaks to make this a more rewarding user experience. Overall, if you want a Windows laptop and a decent tablet in one light and portable device, and don't expect to be using too many power-hungry apps at once, this is a decent option.

68.73%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
