Samsung Wearing an Apple Suit
I'm normally wary of Samsung products because you seem to seldom get what you pay for. But I got this on sale to replace my old Asus Zenbook and am thoroughly impressed with the quality. I went with the Ultra 7 processor with 1 TB SSD and 32 GB RAM.The Good:- It's a sexy, sexy machine - thin, sleek, solid build, and capable of the "one-finger open." It looks and feels very similar to a Macbook- Small size charger and its thin design make it portable when you need it to be- Ultra 7 Processor and 32 GB RAM make it snappy and responsive; great for multi-tasking- Updated integrated GPU is more than adequate for most users, including for games that are not graphically demanding- Thermals are much better than a lot of thin laptops I've tried - didn't get super hot at any point when testing it out- HUGE touchpad and responsive fingerprint scanner.- Gorgeous 3K AMOLED screen (to be expected from Samsung)- Conversion to tablet mode was smooth and hassle-free; pen works great- Speaker sound quality was surprisingly good- Keyboard is very similar (in my opinion) to a Macbook keyboard as far as keystroke depth and "clickiness" and I love the quality of my Macbook keyboardWhat Could Be Better?- Battery life on balanced mode is not terrible, but could be better- For the price, it would be nice to have a dedicated GPU rather than integrated- Wish the webcam was capable of facial recognition- Not a fan of the push to integrate Copilot AI and HATE it when manufacturers put the Copilot key on the keyboard (quick remapping in Power Toys fixes that, though)Conclusion:I'm very happy with my purchase. If you are a casual user, want a 16" laptop for work, school, etc. and not looking for a hardcore gaming machine, then I'd say this would be a good choice IF you can get it on sale at a decent price. Yes, they are clearly trying to compete with the more premium Macbook line, but I can't really fault them for that.Ver másVer menos
