Samsung Galaxy Book Go Laptop: The cheapest Snapdragon-Powered laptop
The new performance standards are set by Apple so that ARM processors can also be used in laptops with M1 chips. Windows 10 laptops are much more limited in features and performance, but Samsung is offering its cheaper Galaxy Book Go and Galaxy Book Go 5G laptops.
After using it for a day, some features surprised me a lot but the few made me disappointed. After all, it is a cheap laptop so we shouldn’t expect much from it.
With a 14-inch screen with 1366 x 768 pixels resolution and a 180-degree hinge, it is clearly aimed at the entry-level class. Processor is Intel Celeron N4500. This is the latest processor in the new 10nm Jasper Lake series, but with a dual-core processor and an integrated GPU delivering incredibly modest performance.
