I was very impressed with how versatile this device is - it can be used as a tablet, laptop, and digital notepad. The included keyboard and S-Pen make it very functional. I also like that it runs a full Windows 10 operating system so I can use regular PC programs. - Tyler Austin |

At over 1kg with the type cover, it approaches the weight of some larger 12.5-13 inch laptops that offer more versatility. I felt working on the 10.6 inch display and small keyboard was quite cramped for productivity. - Damir Franc |

I prefer this smaller model over the larger 12" version. The built-in keyboard is perfect for typing on trains or other tight spaces. I'm currently writing a novel on this device. It syncs flawlessly with Microsoft OneDrive allowing me to write from anywhere. - Cuts Tech |

Pros: - Has built-in keyboard for productivity - Has USB-C and microSD ports - Good display resolution and touchscreen Cons: - Some preinstalled bloatware - Single USB-C port limits connectivity - Performance not sufficient for intensive tasks |
Samsung's Galaxy Book 10.6″ tablet packs full Windows 10 functionality into a lightweight yet powerful hybrid device.
Offering more versatility than an iPad or Android tablet, the Galaxy Book succeeds as both a tablet and productivity machine.
The Book surprises with premium features like an S-Pen stylus, detachable keyboard, vibrant 1080p touch display, USB-C port, and long 10-hour battery life.
It houses a Core m3 processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage. Performance handles basic tasks speedily, though lags during intensive creative work.
As a tablet for media, the Galaxy Book shines. The 10.6-inch screen has rich color reproduction and wide viewing angles.
With a micro SD slot supporting cards up to 256GB, storing movies or TV shows poses no issue. The speakers also produce reasonably full audio.
For productivity, the Book works well for document editing, web browsing, and light multitasking.
The keyboard types comfortably despite small size. Connecting another accessory via USB-C is also possible while charging.
The S-Pen enables precise notetaking and drawing too. The dedicated apps even allow easily converting writing into text.
The tablet does have flaws including preinstalled bloatware, an unstable keyboard stand, and single USB-C port.
It also can't tackle intensive programs as fast as a higher-end 2-in-1 laptop could.
Nonetheless, at this low price, users will be hard pressed to find a hybrid tablet that offers so much in such a portable form.
Weighing 1.4 pounds and measuring just 0.35 inches thick without the keyboard, the aluminum-made Galaxy Book travels anywhere easily —slip it into a bag or hold it comfortably with one hand.
This lightweight Windows tablet stands out versus heavier hybrids approaching three pounds. No need to compromise portability for functionality.
Overall, Samsung triumphs by packing Windows capabilities into an inexpensive yet well-built tablet.
Students and professionals desiring touchscreen and stylus input for notetaking will appreciate the Galaxy Book.
It rightfully earns our recommendation as a budget do-it-all portable hybrid for work and play.
The device masters versatility without demanding a premium price.
