Samsung Galaxy Book Go Review: Budget-Friendly Powerhouse for Everyday Use

 On the hunt for a stylish, lightweight laptop that won’t drain your bank account? Enter the Samsung Galaxy Book Go — a new affordable notebook designed to deliver portability, productivity and all-day battery life in one sleek package. Let’s say you are a student, a telecommuter, or just someone looking for something that is solid for daily use, this can be your best mate.

In today’s post, we’re going to break down everything there is to know about the Galaxy Book Go – including its specs, performance, design, and why you might just want to pick one up for yourself.

Samsung Galaxy Book Go

What Is the Samsung Galaxy Book Go?

The Samsung Galaxy Book Go is a Windows notebook with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 chipset. It’s also one of the few laptops to run on ARM architecture, rather than the Intel or AMD chips inside most laptops — leading to terrific battery life and boot speed, and a more-quiet, fanless design.

It is for users who require quick performance, constant connectivity and a super lightweight laptop without the high premium of luxury notebooks.


Key Specifications

This laptop comes with a 14-inch Full HD display and sharp images, and runs on either 4GB or 8GB of RAM alongside 64GB or 128GB of eUFS storage. And the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 chip helps it keep it cool and quiet, which is perfect for everyday use. It’s Windows 11 Home for the OS, it weighs about 1.38 kg, and is delivered with a tough military grade build.

Performance That Fits Your Schedule

You wouldn’t want to judge this affordable package by its budget price tag — the Galaxy Book Go rocks when you are working your way through everyday tasks, such as:

  • Web browsing

  • Streaming YouTube or Netflix

  • Using Microsoft Office apps

  • Video conferencing

  • Managing emails

The Snapdragon processor helps it boot up fast, run cool over hours of use and stay quiet. It isn’t meant for gaming or heavy content creation, but it’s good enough for light productivity and media consumption.


Design & Build: Sleek, Durable, and Travel-Ready

Design The Galaxy Book Go is slick in a modern, simplistic way, and it has a silver matte finish. It is slim, travels light, and is tough as nails. The laptop meets MIL-STD-810G durability standards, so you can drop it, subject it to temperature fluctuations, and generally rough it up with some abandon.

Its non-touch 14-inch display is bright and colorful for working indoors or watching movies, if slightly dim in direct sunlight.


Ports, Connectivity, and Battery 

In terms of ports, the Pro has 1x USB-C, 1x USB-A, an HDMI port, and a headphone/mic hardware jack, but a proprietary charging jack (no USB-C charging).

The laptop is also outfitted with USB-C and USB-A ports, a microSD card slot, and a headphone jack, a nice array for people who still use conventional peripherals.

As a connectivity option, it has Wi-Fi 5 (Wi-Fi 6 would be ideal, but that’s not always a realistic option) and an optional LTE, so you can work from wherever you want without relying on the availability of a public Wi-Fi network.

But what’s truly mind-blowing is the battery life. Samsung says that those will last for up to 18 hours on a charge. In actual use, you should be able to get about 12 to 15 hours — more than enough for a full work or school day.

Perks of the Software and Ecosystem

The Galaxy Book Go has all the basic productivity utilities on board, with a copy of Windows 11 powering the scenes. But even better, it dovetails seamlessly with the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem. If you’re a Galaxy phone or tablet owner, here’s what you can expect:

  • Quick Share: Share files with one click between devices

  • Second Screen: Turn your tablet into a second display.

  • Samsung Notes Sync: You can now automatically sync your Samsung Notes to OneNote, Outlook, and Outlook.com. Write notes on your phone, then access them on your laptop.
