Design

At first glance, despite the comparison to the Microsoft’s Surface Laptop, Samsung Galaxy Book S looks a lot more like Apple’s most recent MacBook Air in size, shape, and design. The ultra-svelte laptop sports a rounded rear with sleek and modern look. The slim bezels corners around the 13.3-inch screen is hugged by an aluminium body. Samsung says the notebook top and base is rapped by the premium anodised aluminum frame making it feel nearly as rigid as a full-blown laptop.

Therefore, the Galaxy Book S brings lightweight and durable together in a purposeful design to keep you mobile. Just 11.8mm of thickness and a weight under 1kg lets you bring your device wherever you go while the solid clamshell form provides stability to let you type for hours without fatigue.

The Galaxy Book S also comes with three ports: a pair of USB Type-C ports and a headphone jack. It also comes with a built-in SIM card slot for a microSD card. At the top of the screen is the 720p HD camera, a serviceable shooter as well as the stereo speakers powered by AKG.

Samsung’s Galaxy Book S is the first Windows-based laptop that is powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8cx processor. Qualcomm, the world’s largest smartphone chipmaker, is pushing really hard to increase the adoption of always-connected laptops.

For Qualcomm, an always-connected PC stands for three things: a battery that can last for days, access to high-speed cellular connection and being instant-on when you open the lid or touch a key. These three parameters define a new age connected Windows-based laptops and are well optimized for the Samsung Book S.

The OS remains Microsoft own Window 10. The Book S processor is paired with 8GB of RAM, and either 256GB of storage or 512GB, both big numbers that make the entry price a little more bearable. The Internal Storage can be expanded up to 1TB via the microSD slot.
