Samsung Galaxy Book Go Review | Trusted Reviews

 

The Samsung Galaxy Book Go is a budget-friendly Windows laptop, but a poor performance makes it a poor Chromebook alternative.

Good-looking silver shell ; Relatively tactile keyboard ; Lightweight

Chronically slow ; Dim display

Samsung Galaxy Book Go review

 

Windows on ARM needs more time in the oven, clearly

ARM-compiled apps are fast ; Incredible battery life ; Instant-on is great

Abysmal screen ; Sluggish in many situations

Very disappointing. Windows on ARM plays nicely only with a handful of apps - and besides, you can barely see it through the Galaxy Book Go's cloudy screen.

Samsung Galaxy Book Go review

 

The Samsung Galaxy Book Go sounds good on paper, but lots of ports and 4G connectivity can't make up for a dim screen and dismal performance.

Great port selection & 4G ; Simple, slim design ; Good battery life

Unbearably under-powered ; Dim, basic display ; Super-slow charging

The Samsung Galaxy Book Go has an attractive enough design, plenty of ports, and perks like excellent battery life and 4G connectivity, but its performance problems overshadow them all. All the ports in the world don’t matter when a laptop is this slow...

Samsung Galaxy Book Go review: A galactic disappointment | IT PRO

 

The ‘Go' stands for ‘Go and buy something else'

Lightweight, slimline design ; Fanless for silent working ; All-day battery life

Appalling display ; Frustratingly sluggish performance ; Windows on ARM still needs work

Samsung Galaxy Book Go: The $349 laptop that tests your patience

 

The Samsung Galaxy Book Go is energy-efficient and economical, but also exhausting

Great battery life ; Satisfactory speakers ; Decent keyboard

Dim, washed-out display ; Storage not upgradeable ; Awful touchpad ; App incompatibility issues

The Samsung Galaxy Book Go is a $349 Windows-on-ARM laptop with excellent battery life, but its laggy performance overshadows its endurance.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Book Go demonstrates the value of Windows on ARM

 

The promise of Windows on ARM finally reaches the entry-level PC market with the new Samsung Galaxy Book Go. With a thin, fanless design and a $300 starting price, it shows why Qualcomm-based PCs have a strong future. But is that vision ready for...

Excellent build quality ; Nice size display, trackpad, keyboard ; Fanless, thin design ; Windows 11-ready ; Samsung app ecosystem

Processor performance is OK ; Display quality is not the best ; Only decent battery life

Bottom line: Samsung merges its excellent laptop design chops with a low-powered ARM processor to make a very affordable laptop that falls just short of being great.
