      Hello Ella
      Good comparison between laptops
      Congrats on your upcoming graduation
      My advice on 💻 and 🖥️ security in college/university and after college/university
      You SHOULD set your Mac and or Windows laptop and or desktop login screen to display the username and password fields when you first turn them on and or log out of your system(s)
      In macOS you go to Settings>Lock Screen> change the "Display login window as:" to Username and password
      In Windows you will need to go to the local security policy go to local policies go to security options scroll down to the "Interactive Logon Don't display last signed in and enabled that policy then sign out and restart your computer to be extra sure that policy takes effect
      I would also recommend UPGRADING your Windows license to Windows PRO because you get BitLocker and the Encrypting File System
      Just my piece of advice for better security

      You literally compared a overpriced, yet very limited casual user and/or apple fanboy MacBook in 13,x" to a 16" "convertible".
      Take the M1/M2 16" MacBook Pro and it wipes the floor with the samsung device in every laptop aspect.

    I switched from older 2-in-1s to a macbook M1 and then from a macbok M1 to the Galaxy Book 3 (non-pro) 360 and that made me love 2-in-1s more than I ever loved them before. The non-pro doesn't have 3K or a high refresh rate, but it's comfy and easy to hold as a tablet and doesn't have numeric keys shifting the keyboard/trackpad to the side. For me, it's worth the tradeoff.

    • @harrison00xXx
      @harrison00xXx 11 місяців тому +5

      I didnt really like the tradeoffs.
      I tried my mums Lenovo Yoga 14" convertible, it was not the best experience (too small as laptop, too big/junky as tablet,...) but somehow nice to have both, especially for studying i looked into it despite not liking the idea of AiOs.
      Still, i got a Surface Pro 9 and thought it can be a good studying and basic task laptop and tablet, but it was even worse (despite more expensive...) than my mums Lenovo!
      I ended up to just stick to a dedicated, powerful laptop (16" M1 Pro) i had anyways already and got for notes, pdfs etc an iPad Air 5. This decision could not have been better.
      The 16" MacBook Pro serves as perfect notebook and desktop via USB-C Hub and external screen, and the things its completely incapable of (touchscreen, pen support, super compact/lightweight,...) or at least bad/inconvenient to use the iPad is just superior with very few tradeoffs (but hard ones partially!)

      ​​@@harrison00xXx ........ I mean..... The 'solution' you gave costs like at least double that of the non pro Galaxy 360, so it definitely isn't a 'trade off', you just spent more than twice to get what you wanted. And that is fine, but it is not exactly comparable in terms of price to performance at all.
      Edit: granted, the performance on the M Pro Macs is just excellent and can only be bested by Galaxy Book Ultra (which has one of the best GPUs) which is way too costly lmao so good for you.

    Your video is very good, It sums up everything you need to know about this laptop and you have done a great job comparing it to the macbook. I loved the battery review and the bonus you added of the ecosystem was the key! As a Samsung Smartphone user myself, i was worrying how does it performs, and even with your short review was enough to know about it. Keep with this kind of videos!! Definitely subscribing!

    Great review. Thanks. My main concerns about this are its lack of anti-glare/anti-reflective coating, especially since its brightness only rates up to 400 nits as you pointed out, and the looser hinge. I'd also prefer that the hdmi port was at least 2.0 or better still 2.1, instead of the much older hdmi 1.4 that currently comes with it, but since there is a workaround for that, namely using an adaptor in one of the thunderbolt 4 ports that's not a deal breaker for me. Another review did reference that they found if you put it into hdr mode then they got over 500 nits so that would help, but I haven't been able to prove that myself not having purchased one yet. I love that you don't have to charge the pen, thanks for mentioning such small details that no one else does. Very useful, very solid review. Thanks. Oh, and congratulations on your graduation nearing. You are going to have a great future!

    Very thorough, and it's nice to see a user do a review where they aren't swayed by Apple fanboy loyalty and actually do an objective review where true functionality is mentioned. She doesn't even pretend that the Samsung pen isn't better than the Apple pencil, she just comes out and explains why it's the best for her. Also, it's time to admit that Samsung makes the best displays in the business right now, from phones to tablets to laptops to TVs.

    I am a S22 Ultra user so switched over to Samsung ( for work) end of 2022, I am happy with the products I use but was pondering going onto a laptop 💻. Think I will stay with the Tab S8 Ultra for another year or so and then see what samsung are upgrading on their laptops.
    The Tab S8 Ultra is a great hybrid, thanks again.

      For apple anything from iphone 13-15 there's not much of a difference so no need to get the latest since they're all solid, an ipad 2 generations older can still do what the latest gen ipads can do so lastly it's the laptop....M1 or M2 will both be fine.

    Wow, you covered it like a pro as a student. Good that you are graduating, I am sure you will do well. I wish it was Dell that would have made a laptop so good, I would totally recommend it to our Sales guy, and they would love it. Interestingly all the performance issue in a real workspace does not matter when you have an 8th gen or better laptop, they are more than enough and big corporations always need access to legacy apps which basically means no matter if it's an M2 or M3 or M10, workplace computers are going to be dominated by Windows laptop. Most users in a corporate environment have their laptops plugged in and connected to a dock with multiple monitors and use the laptop in laptop mode only when they are not really working but catching up with chats and emails. Sales guys are the exception and usually need a data card or puck and always a good mouse. (lol).
    I think a lot of people confuse the idea that Mac's are too expensive for a workplace. When you pay your engineer $100/hr., the machine is not the expense, however if he/she cannot do his job as the computer is not compatible with a software that has been the bread and butter of your workplace then basically that computer is worthless.

    Hi Ella, I use my M1 MBP 13" to do work at the office, Outlook, Excel, Chrome and Safari, UA-cam, Coursera, LinkedIn and I do connect bluetooth headphones at all time. I do listed to music and podcasts too. When I do those activities, I tend to be able to use my M1 from 9am to about 2-3pm before charging and honestly I can probably do the full 9-5 and still have some 10-20% left, depends on how many Zoom calls I get really, no calls defo most of the day with calls around 2pm it needs charging.
    How would the Galaxy Book compare to that?

    I used to own a 2 in 1 HP highend laptop for about 2.5 years. The writing experience (both hardware & software) is not good on Windows device. If writing is necessary, I will stick to my iPad. It's made for writing and reading.

    Thank you for the excellent review of this product. I've been reviewing the Galaxy Book 3 series from Samsung and almost pulled the trigger on the cheaper 15.6" non-Pro version. It's on sale today at BestBuy with 16GB of memory and 1TB of storage for only $800. That's $600 off full retail. Your video demonstrated that the Pro version, also on sale, provides a much better screen experience. Yes, it will cost me $400 more than the non-Pro version, but in addition to the amazing screen quality, Samsung upgrades them memory from DDR4 to DDR5. I invest a lot of time taking handwritten notes on my Samsung tablet. The Book 3 Pro will be the first opportunity for handwriting that actually works! As you so well pointed out, handwriting on Windows devices is typically awful. Samsung has resolved that complaint and the larger screen of the Book 3 Pro will better allow me to split the screen between video/reading material and Samsung Notes. Thanks again for the great review and the insight it provided to help me make a final decision.

    Great review as always! Didn't you have a Galaxy Book 2 in 1 back then? I think you are one of the few tech reviewers, who are actually unbiased regarding OS, because you are really using these devices and win/mac/android extensivley in real life. For me MacOS is a no go, because of specific software I use everyday, as well as the need to be able to draw on a full fledged OS.

    samsung has done a very good job with their thin and light! the only thing i would like to see would be a ryzen version, something like a 7840U which is both faster and more power efficient than the 1360p in the current version while also having a *way* better iGPU would be amazing
    early leaks are also showing intel's 14th gen will improve on the iGPU a ton to the point where OEMs are debating whether it's even worth putting lower tier GPUs in laptops so they might be a good option if they manage to tame the battery life

    • @HDRPC

      It is already almost same as efficient in most tasks.

    • @harrison00xXx
      @harrison00xXx 11 місяців тому

      Is power really that much of a concern?
      I tested once a Lenovo Yoga in 14" with a Ryzen 3200u and Vega 8 iGPU, its my mums "notebook".
      Sure enough the CPU is a bit limiting for some things but Vega 8 is just powerful enough for a convertible, Its a pretty perfect compromise out of performance and weight unlike many bigger and heavier convertibles.
      I mean, as much i was thinking in the beginning "overpowered for no reason" with the iPad Air 5 with M1, i actually like to have not only much headroom and free RAM for open apps in background without reloading etc, but also a super snappy and fast system despite just being a tablet.
      I dont even think these 2in1s make too much sense for many people, mostly they are to small laptops and too big tablets. Thats why Apple doesnt even care about this market, technology isnt ready yet to make it conveniently possible (for example a super thin, foldable device for 11 or 15-16" and KB attachment yet enough processing power and battery life)

      @@HDRPC "with way more efficient than anything on the planet"
      1) "with way more efficient than...." ..... efficiency!
      2) just nope... actually ARM chips are too much ahead in efficiency to beat ANYTHING with x86 architecture.
      But i would love to see a radical efficiency jump on x86 platforms, it would give affordable gaming, considering PC games will rely for longer on x86 good hopes. Just because with increased efficiency they would drive the chips higher for more "free" processing power in "lower end" models.

    I tried a 14" Lenovo Yoga convertible for university. Not too bad to be honest with ryzen 3200u and Vega 8, but the screen with 14" was too small for a notebook and too big for a tablet, in general it was too junky to use as tablet.
    I ended up instead of getting a decent 2in1 for studying to use my 16" M1 Pro Macbook i had already anyways in combination with the iPad Air 5. The iPad is enough and better for 95% of the stuff and the rare occasions i need more i can take the MacBook also to campus with me.
    I see a good, usable laptop and for the average usage a dedicated, good tablet as better solution than 2in1s, at least until you can combine for example a foldable screen and detachable keyboard/base unit to a compact tablet in for example 10-12", yet thin and light and folded up to a 15-16" tablet or notebook with keyboard attached.
