While you wait for a premium 2-in-1 Windows 10 hybrid, a whole bunch of options appear right away. Samsung hopes the 12-inch Galaxy Book will catch your eye in a growing market, promising the latest digital S Pen technology and more processing power than you might expect from such a thin tablet. The question is, does the Galaxy Book perform well enough to warrant its $1,129.99 price tag?Samsung Galaxy Book 12 review:

Samsung hopes the 12-inch Galaxy Book will catch your eye in a growing market, promising the latest digital S Pen technology and more processing power than you might expect from such a thin tablet. The question is, does the Galaxy Book perform well enough to warrant its $1,129.99 price tag?It really feels like this part. Unlike the glass-bodied, Android-based Galaxy Tab S3 we reviewed in March, Samsung opted for brushed metal for the Galaxy Book. It’s a clean, minimalist design, and quite light. It weighs 754 grams with the keyboard attached, slightly less than the Surface Pro 4. Although Samsung’s battery is slightly larger at 39.04W.Inside is a seventh-generation Intel Core i5-7200U 3.1GHz dual-core, paired with 8GB of memory and a 256GB SSD. The microSD card slot can accommodate cards up to 256GB for expansion. You get WiFi a/b/g/n /ac 2X2, Bluetooth 4.1,
and GPS/GLONASS by default; Samsung also offers an LTE configuration with a Cat6 300 Mbps modem. Oddly, you can’t have more than 4GB of RAM if you want LTE.The 13-megapixel autofocus camera is on the back, while the 5-megapixel fixed-focus camera is above the display. Ports include two USB 3.1 Type-C; unfortunately, Samsung doesn’t plan to include a USB Type-A adapter in the box with your traditional peripherals. What you get is a wireless digitizer using Wacom digitizer technologySamsung Galaxy Book 12 BatteryPen and keyboard coverThe cover itself attempts to strike a balance between usability and convenience, although it’s not entirely successful. The keys have plenty of travel and are easy to type on, while the trackpad (although smaller than those on some Windows laptops) is responsive.
Unfortunately, the stand design is fiddly: You can adjust the Galaxy Book’s screen angle by folding the back panel one of four ways, but it relies on magnetic strips to attach to the back of the tablet.I found that the Galaxy Book had a tendency to slide backwards if you got too enthusiastic about clicking on the screen, or trying to balance the entire assembly on your legs. I prefer the stand design used by Microsoft, or HP’s Specter x2 series. They also have the benefit of allowing you to stand the tablet on its own even if it is detached from the keyboard.
As for the battery, Samsung suggests the 12-inch Galaxy Book can run for up to 11 hours on a full charge. As always, it depends on what you actually use it for. Under heavy load processing videos, I managed to drain the tablet’s battery life in 2.5 hoursSamsung Galaxy Book 12 Battery. For more typical use, including a mix of browsing and document editing, though, I saw about six hours. If you watch the video you will get more.The other side of the Galaxy Book trick is Samsung Flow. If you’re a Galaxy smartphone owner, you can pair the two via Bluetooth and unlock the tablet using your phone’s fingerprint scanner. I connected my Galaxy S8 and was able to remotely reply to text messages, check contacts, view caller ID, and wirelessly copy photos and videos between the two devices. If your mobile phone plan also supports tethering, you can also turn on this feature remotely from your Galaxy Book.
