The Samsung Galaxy Book Go sounds good on paper, but lots of ports and 4G connectivity can’t make up for a dim screen and dismal performance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Galaxy Book Go is a lightweight, affordable laptop from Samsung that\u2019s powered by a Qualcomm chip \u2013 instead of Intel \u2013 and offers the option of 4G connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On paper that sounds great, but in practice this laptop is abominably slow, with Windows still refusing to play nicely with Qualcomm\u2019s Arm architecture. The result is a laptop that\u2019s difficult to recommend, and undeniably outclassed by most Chromebooks at the same price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design and build
\nSlim and lightweight build
\nMade of plastic
\nOnly available in silver
\nWhile I have my complaints about the Galaxy Book Go\u2019s performance, I can\u2019t really fault the way it looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only available in silver, this is a pretty sleek and attractive laptop for the price. Samsung has kept it slim (just 14.9mm thick) and relatively light (only 1.38kg), which is impressive bearing in mind that it comes with a fairly expansive 14in display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s partly that light because the body is plastic, which is pretty inevitable at this price. That does make the laptop feel a bit cheap \u2013 but hey, it is cheap. So you can\u2019t really complain too much about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Display and audio
\n14in HD display
\nQuite dim
\nNo touchscreen
\nThe 14in display here is large for a laptop of this price, but it comes with drawbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s Full HD, at 1920 x 1080, so at least Samsung hasn\u2019t taken any shortcuts there as we\u2019ve sometimes seen in other budget laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
