Good deal – The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 15 (Core i7) “5-star” laptop at €1,299.99 (-17%)

Samsung is back on the French market with its Galaxy Book2. The Pro version is equipped with a 15.6-inch Amoled panel and an Intel Core i7 processor, all in just under 12 mm thick and 1.1 kg; a real tour de force.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 15 ticks almost all the boxes: its impressive chassis makes no compromises, whether on performance or autonomy, and the screen is very well made, with faithful colors and an effective anti-reflective treatment . We simply regret the definition of the panel lower than that of the best laptops on this point.

Strong points

• Performance.
• Well calibrated slab.
• Perceived quality.
• Autonomy.
• Good Connectivity.
• Lightweight.

Weak points

• Just decent SSD performance.
• Screen definition only Full HD.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

By taking over the MagicBook Pro on its own, Huawei has corrected its main defect (the keyboard) and retained its main strong point (its screen). We would have liked a slightly newer processor, however, like an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Zen 3 architecture. To make a perfect copy, Huawei would have been well advised to offer better speakers and a larger capacity battery — Autonomy is on the other hand correct. We will finally settle for a free M.2 slot instead.
