Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro (15.6") review

Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro (15.6") (2022) — the big-canvas thin office body

The Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6 at $840 pairs an Intel Core i5 1240P with 32 GB of RAM in a 1.11 kg chassis. The flagged strength is weight — 24% below the 1.46 kg ultrabook median, remarkable for the canvas — while the flagged weakness is the composite score at 35, 28.6% below the class median of 49.

Where it holds up

Office productivity posts 82.35 (high) with the full 32 GB to lean on, and portability reads 66.7 (high) — a 15.6-inch body that still carries like a smaller one. Photo design lands at 37 (mid) and the platform's efficiency cores keep desk work comfortable.

Where it falls short

The composite 35 is the flagged gap, and the low bands repeat the line's profile: overall performance reads 33.63, gaming 23, modeling 27 and engineering CAD 30, with the value index at 17.8 — the weakest axis. The bigger canvas costs battery relative to the 13.3-inch sibling.

Price and depreciation

No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2022 cohort rate is 10% per year — the settled early-mid band.

Alternatives to consider

The Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 15.6 at the same $840 adds the folding hinge on the same platform; the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 13.3 trims to 0.87 kg with portability at 89.2 (top); and the Galaxy Book 4 360 15.6 at $1,084 is the newer reliability-forward route.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. A 1.11 kg 15.6-inch slate with high-band office and 32 GB — the canvas-per-kilogram play, with performance 33.63 and value 17.8 as the honest trade. The 15.6-inch canvas at 1.11 kg remains the line's standout physical fact, with office productivity high at 82.35 as the compute ceiling and photo design mid at 37.
