In fairness, the Galaxy Book Go is not designed for gaming at all so we can't beat it too hard for a lack of ability here. At 1,280 x 720 it managed 13.6fps, which for a cheap notebook isn’t that bad – some Celeron machines can only manage around 5fps.

The arrival of Windows 11 and support for Android apps via the Amazon app store may give Windows on ARM a bit of a kick, but do you want to buy a laptop today on the basis of something it may be able to do months down the line?Īs for gaming performance, again, it’s difficult to judge because the only gaming benchmark from our usual Steam selection that the Go would run in emulation was DiRT Showdown.
You’ll be able to use VLC, Zoom, Adobe Photoshop, 7-Zip, Teams, Netflix and Prime Video apps, to name but a few, but it’s a short list and one that doesn’t yet include Microsoft Office. There are some decent native ARM64 apps around, however.

Since this is an ARM-based laptop, rather than an x86 platform, the developer community hasn’t been exactly quick to recompile apps to run natively for Windows 10 on ARM. That sounds like it should bring home the bacon, but the hardware isn’t the whole story. The Qualcomm 7C Gen 2 ARM processor uses eight Kryo 468 cores running at up to 2.55GHz, with an Adreno 618 GPU for graphics processing duties and 4GB of LPDDR4X-4266MHz RAM.

There’s a Dolby Access control panel to fine-tune the sound for various sources such as music, films or games, too.Ībove the screen lies a 720p webcam, which does the job well. There’s not much bass but there’s plenty of volume and no distortion, even at maximum volume. As a rule, the speakers in cheap laptops are simply awful, but the Go’s speakers do a decent job. The Dolby Atmos sound system performs more credibly. That’s how much vitality and life the Go’s screen drained from the footage. A YouTube HDR test video of the wildlife of Costa Rica looked more like Skegness on a bleak November day, albeit with non-native flora and fauna. Looking at pictures or watching videos really is a depressing experience since everything looks dull, washed out and rather drab. We’re thinking specifically here of things such as the super-budget HP Stream 11 notebooks that are built around outdated Celeron processors with low-resolution displays and measly storage. Traditionally, cheap Windows laptops have been pretty dire. It's the latter model that Samsung sent us to test. The Galaxy Book Go will initially be available in two versions: one with 8GB of RAM for £499 and a cheaper variant with 4GB of RAM for £399.

The Galaxy Book Go is a lightweight, 14in Windows laptop with a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution display, with a choice of either 4GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Outside of the intriguing processor offering, it’s all a pretty standard affair. However, the Windows ecosystem is built around x86, so this could raise some compatibility issues if you plan on running third-party apps on the Galaxy Book Go. Traditionally, ARM chips use less juice than the usual x86 processors that power most of the world’s PCs, so there’s usually an added bonus to overall battery life. For the uninitiated, Qualcomm’s ARM chips are architecturally similar to mobile CPUs found in smartphones and tablets, including Apple’s new M1 chips. The Galaxy Book Go differs from the usual cheap Windows notebooks in that it uses a Qualcomm ARM chipset rather than the more usual Intel Celeron or – God forbid – Atom CPUs. £349.00 Buy now Samsung Galaxy Book Go review: What you need to know
