SAMSUNG Galaxy Book Ion 13.3” Laptop with QLED Display and Intel Core i7 Processor with Long Battery Life and Windows 10 (NP930XCJ-K01US), Silver

Don't believe the negative reviews! This is a great laptop.The best thing about this laptop is the screen then the weight. The Qled screen is absolutely the best LCD screen on the market with superior brightness, saturation and color accuracy. The 13.3" size screen in full HD is just beautiful and I believe they have applied an anti-reflective coating on the glass screen. So even though the screen is glossy there is very little refraction. The Ion is the only model with this AR coating. It is very similar to the 13" macbook pro screen but not as high resolution. In other words unless you have an OLED panel you will not find a better looking screen on any other laptop!!The performance of this device is actually very good but I really think they could have used AMD Ryzen processors with much better results. The i7 this laptop uses is fast but it is not on the newer 10nm architecture which I would have preferred. I would have also preferred 12gb ram as a base for all models. All of that being said this thing is very fast for what it is. My complaints are more about future proofing. For what I use this laptop for it is very fast.Now to the build quality and other features. The build and design of this laptop is one of my favorites of 2020. It has excellent industrial design and minimal bezels. Fit and finish are very good but not perfect. The silver finish is very good at resisting fingerprints. The keyboard is excellent. The glass trackpad is also excellent and can charge your phone!Battery life is also very good. The claims by Samsung are inflated as are all battery life claims on a laptop but what I can say is for an ultra portable the 69 watt hour battery is very large and will get your through a solid day. That is with screen brightness on high, cpu performance set to high.The speakers on this laptop are great and get very loud and have a good amount of bass. You have to get updates for the drivers in samsung update and then adjust the settings in realtek audio console but once you do the sound is amazing. I look at how small this thing is and the sound coming out of it and I am impressed.To wrap it all up this is one of my favorite laptops to use. It is not a speed demon but it can handle it's own, it is super light and portable with great battery life. It does everything I need it to do and has a decent selection of ports including a thunderbolt 3 port. The fit and finish and design are all great. I really like the magnesium build. It does have some flex here and there because it is not using a thick piece of aluminum but a thinner stronger piece of Magnesium. I would just say that you should look for sales. The full retail price is too high IMO but the sale price is a good value considering the features you can only get in this laptop and the competition in the same price range.Samsung has really done an excellent job with it's offerings this year. I am very excited to see what is to come. Just add more ram next time!!

This is my third Samsung Ultrabook laptop since 2013 July. The reason why I only have used Samsung Ultrabook series is that the laptop is really light. For example, the first generation is about 2.7 LB (it was purchased in 2013 July). The second generation is about 1.8LB (it was purchased in 2018 November). The previous models have some issues (e.g., battery life, display quality, and so on). However, the Galaxy Book Ion (the third generation of Samsung Ultrabook series) overcame all issues. For example, you can operate the laptop without charger about 10 hours. Also, charging speed is so fast. In addition the touch pad has wireless charger function. The sound quality is so great (Although I have Bose NC-700, Sony WH-1000XM3, and Airpod Pro, I listen a music from the laptop without any headset in my home). I purchased the 15.6 inch for upgrading RAM (13.3 inch may not support ram upgrade). Because the screen is so clear , I believe that the laptop seems to be customized for Prime video, Netflix, and Youtube. Lastly, the design is what I wanted. If you see the surface of this laptop in a different direction, you can see various colors.

This laptop was bought for my wife who spends 4-6 hours a day on it for work and play. One charge is all it takes to be used all day and still have a hefty reserve left. Typical work load is Office Suite, YouTube, FaceBook and Gmail.I formatted the drive and installed Windows 10 Pro myself, but all else is stock. The laptop came with a LOT of Samsung bloatware on the Windows 10 Home edition. Even formatting the entire drive didn't get rid of all of it. However, it is a lot faster and reliable without that crap. Wifi tested around 450 MB/s with a speed test utility.You can wirelessly recharge your phone on the track pad. An excellent feature during hurricane induced power outages or when on an airplane. She has not complained once about this unit. Solid construction, thin and light weight, it is an excellent all-rounder and recommended.Very happy with this purchase. It does run latest Ubuntu Linux as well, but you do need to know how to install Open Source drivers.

This my second laptop on Samsung.1.) Samsung Galaxy Flex Alpha 13.3-inch2.) Samsung Galaxy Book Ion 13.3 Laptop.Setup was simple and easy. Love how light it is for 2.33 pounds. Lighter than macbook air 13.3 inch 2020 model.Customer Services and support from is excellent. On quick response on questions to the buyer.The only draw back is power adapter on the Samsung. Plug-in is like a Mac product. Enclosed with photo. That's the only problem.Luck me, it took me quite search to buy another power adapter as back up. Just case it fell or the long get blend. Now friend (Girlfriend) is jealous on my Samsung. Though she have a MacBook.If you are interested on a good and light laptop. I thought since it came in seal original box. there is no one year warranty by Samsung. How, there a warranty by Amazon & Seller on this laptop (202information 1). No matter its still good laptop and price by seller. Note! Can used "C" type charger 65W 120 - 240 volts 50-60Hz 3.25 amps 19v . I did my research on Google, YouTube and Samsung. the newer model do used "C" Type instead Plug type. information found TM Manual on Samsung .I purchase one on Amazon read the requirement. So, I have no big issued on this "C" adapter or no heat up/I still want this product and seller more than 5 stars rating
