Samsung Galaxy Book 12 reviews: Premium 2-in-1 with the price of an ultrabook

The Galaxy Book 12 is Samsung's latest effort to create a tablet that can work as a full-fledged laptop. Yes, that's Surface's territory. The Windows 10 tablet packs a 12" Super AMOLED display, Intel's latest processors, and a detachable keyboard cover with stylus (that are part of the price). It starts at $1,130 for the Wi-Fi-only version. Reviewers are giving it positive scores for the hardware quality, but competitors do just as well, or as CNET put it so elegantly "a great Windows tablet that just scratches the Surface."

Surface Book i7 refresh reviewed: Still awesome, but no next-gen specs

The Surface Book "Performance Base" refresh brings a faster Core i7 CPU, a GTX 965M GPU for twice the graphics performance, and a larger battery. All worthy upgrades on a svelte package that is still very expensive. Reviewers are praising it for what it delivers, except that maybe Microsoft could've waited just a little while longer and ship with Kaby Lake and a Pascal GPU instead.
