![]() The PC ecosystem encompasses a vast number of legacy devices, however, and you undoubtedly own some pre-USB-C device that you’ll want to connect to the Galaxy Book. At least Samsung was somewhat merciful: There’s a traditional headphone jack. Samsung has committed wholeheartedly to USB-C, with a pair of ports than can be used for charging or for peripherals. That’s fine for phones like the Samsung Galaxy S8, which use USB-C for charging but rarely connect to a wired USB device. Unfortunately, buying a Galaxy Book brings up a new consideration for many: what USB standard your peripherals use. Features: A mobile pedigree, for better and for worse Though the Surface Pro 4 (bottom) is thicker than the Galaxy Book, it weighs slightly less when you attach both keyboards. Still, the tablet felt somewhat awkward to hold in the hand. The Galaxy Book’s dimensions are fine: 11.47 x 7.87 x 0.29 inches, and just over 2.5 pounds with the keyboard attached, or about 2.78 pounds if you add the small, cellular-style USB-C power charger. I was a bit surprised, though, to discover that the screen bezel was a bit on the chunky side. It’s no crime to exclude a physical Windows button, as the Galaxy Book does. ![]() I expected the Galaxy Book to lean a bit more upon Samsung’s legacy of quality Android tablets, however. This is a feature typically found on high-end televisions, so the Galaxy Book is unusual, and perhaps unique, among Windows tablets in having it. Part of that has to do with the Galaxy Book’s integrated high-dynamic range (HDR) capability, which allows the screen to render brighter brights and deeper blacks. The 12-inch, 2,160×1,440 Super AMOLED touchscreen shines 355 nits’ worth of light into your eyeballs, and displays rich colors-though without the advanced options Microsoft built into its Surface Pro. Samsung rightfully earns praise for its bright, vibrant displays, and the Galaxy Book is no different. The Galaxy Book’s beautiful Super AMOLED display is definitely a selling point.
