Costumers Product Reviews
Pros
Well, now that Samsung and Amazon have sorted themselves out you can have the colour you want. I opted for Earthy Gold ... very fetching. I'd like to say more about the cool good looks of this machine, but the reviews of it are monitored by Herr somebody or other, and he stamps his feet and fulminates if you don't adhere strictly to his interpretation of what constitutes a good review i.e. a detailed, technical analysis of the merits/demerits of said product. If you don't, he petulantly contacts Amazon and has your review removed. So, if this one ever even appears, make the most of it ... it'll soon be gone ... Right, Herr X ... ?!?
Anyway, not being computer literate, I can't get technical at all. But this is a slim, neat, classy and very light beauty. To be honest, it makes my partner's high end Pixelbook look and feel like a brick. I've been using that, and I never thought I'd say this, but it is (mostly) a real pleasure to be back on good old Windows ... it's all coming back to me, and everything is easy again, like transferring photos from my phone. Yes, that's the height of my ambition in using a laptop. Plus shopping on Amazon. What a waste of a wonderful machine, eh ... ?!? It's like they used to say about our brains - we only use 10% of them; well, same with this computer and me. But I don't care, because it's so cool you could just sit and look at it sometimes, never mind use it.
I've even managed to link my (Samsung) phone to it via the already installed Your Phone app, so if I'm on the Book S, and I get a text or email or whatever, I don't have to go to the bother of picking up my phone, which is usually sitting beside me ... it all comes up on the screen ... ! I haven't decided yet what I'll do with the time I save by not having to pick up my mobile on these occasions.
Sorry I can't be more nerdy about all this thing can do. Someone like Herr X will put that on. In the meantime, if you want a smart, compact, lightweight little item to do the usual stuff - browsing, pontificating on social media, shopping, whatever - this one is the bee's knees.
Update ... still as beautiful as ever, this machine ... facebook and Amazon have never looked so neat. But enough about looks. If you want a case for it, forget the ridiculously expensive, duff Samsung 'pouch'. Get this instead: ROYALZ Vintage Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha Protective Cover 13.3 Inch Sleeve Design Case Tablet Folder Flat Genuine Leather Case [ASIN B084MN3PQ8]. Sturdy, quality leather case, much cheaper, but very stylish.
Cons
I had been looking for a nice light laptop and the specs looked good. Had it for a week but had to return it.
The laptop is beautiful, really light and thin. The screen is very nice and sharp. Build quality very good.
Had to uninstall a lot of the bloatware, then the machine worked quite fast. Battery life was very good. Speakers nothing to brag about.
Unfortunately the biggest problem lay with the keyboard. The design and feel of it was horrible. Could not type properly on it and you had to press really hard for the keys to register. Also the keyboard backlight is atrocious, can hardly see it even on the highest setting. The keyboard lighting has a mind of its own. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes not at all. Played around with the light setting and still no solution. As a result I contacted Samsung support from some guidance and they suggested a restore, which I did and still nothing fixed it. Then they said to send it for repair. Therefore decided to return the machine, it should not face problems for such an expensive machine. Very disappointing as it looked lovely, but the keyboard was too much of a problem.
