Details
The Galaxy Book2 is one seriously impressive laptop. The aluminium casing feels great, and USB-C charging means there's no bulking charger to carry around either.
Inside, 8GB of RAM ensures multitasking between programmes is a cinch, and on the 15.6" display, films will look just as bright and bold as they do on the big screen.
Keep in contact
Thanks to the onboard camera, this device, once connected to Wi-Fi, will let you take part in video chats or virtual meetings, enabling the fun of the office to come to you.
Intel Core i5 processor
With the Intel Core i5 processor in this laptop, you'll easily handle day-to-day tasks like word processing, image editing, and web browsing.
The 10-core, 12-thread design lets you work across lots of tabs and programs, and you'll be able to enjoy some light gaming too, so expect quick load times and increased productivity without a drop in performance.
What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.
A solid performer
Featuring 8GB of RAM, this computer has enough power for casual tasks like web browsing and word processing as well as more demanding jobs like complex spreadsheets and image manipulation. You'll be able to run a healthy number of windows at once without any obvious lag or slowdown.
Super-fast loading with lots of storage
The 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD) gives you the capacity to store documents and media, while ensuring speedy and dependable access to your files and programs. It'll boot up in a flash, and there'll be enough space for photos, videos, music, and more.
Intel Iris Xe Graphics
Intel’s Iris Xe graphics processing unit (GPU) will enable you to enjoy a number of classic older games, along with some casual (web-based) gaming. You may be able to run more modern titles with reduced effects and frame rates.
Great entertainment
The Full HD display means all your favourite films and games will look just as incredible as they do on TV, with the built-in sound system providing crisp, clear audio to accompany whatever's on-screen.
Connecting your other devices
Connect to TVs or external displays with the HDMI output. Listen to music using a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connect to high-speed peripherals with the USB ports, and send data wirelessly between devices using Bluetooth.

"Within 8 weeks of purchase the screen cracked on opening the laptop. We take great care of IT equipment and never had any problems previously with any laptops. John Lewis would not repair the screen under warranty, would have required to have purchased additional warranty. They did not accept our account of damage and spoke of wear and tear/ accidental damage. However when laptop was left in store the person commented that laptop was in excellent condition. Laptop had never been outside our home as we are retired. The laptop is obviously not robust and we would be concerned about transporting it, as we have done with previous laptops. We mentioned the evidence of a pattern of broken screens with this laptop but were told reviews are irrelevant. "
Might be worth having a look around to find the "evidence of a pattern of broken screens" (edited)

When it was on Hotukdeals for £400. Cracking deal and great laptop. Backlight is no deal breaker for me. Interested to hear people's reviews on this as Samsung laptops are great. The only disadvantage I found was the laptop build felt cheap (edited)
Just read here it's the same chassis as the Book (1):
Samsung Galaxy Book2 15 review - multimedia laptop with Arc A350M fails to impress - NotebookCheck.net Reviews
I would not recommend this system: chassis is very cheap feeling (about on par with an ASUS Vivobook) and 8GB soldered RAM is a joke at £500. (edited)
Can confirm it's all metal (except keys, trackpad and bezel) as I have the i3 version and it's well built, pretty sturdy with no appreciable flex. The version in the review is not the same as this and not from the UK. It's also possible they may have an imperfect review sample. Agree with you about the RAM limitation. On the plus side you can add an additional M.2 SSD without interfering with the one in situ. (edited)
Just need Windows 11 to finally push more Playstore apps, but you get nearly all the Samsung apps.
