Does samsung galaxy book pro 360 have backlit keyboard?
jude.wolf
about 2 years ago
The Galaxy Book Pro 360 offers a full-size backlit keyboard which includes a number pad – a lovely little bonus if, like me, you hate using the number keys along the top row of the keyboard. The number pad is a little cramped, but easy to get used to after a few days of use.

Is samsung galaxy book s touch screen?
blaine.pfannerstill
about 2 years ago
The Samsung Galaxy Book S does have a touchscreen and it's a pretty good one at that, with a nippy response allowing you to easily zoom in with a pinch or scroll down with a flick. That said, the Galaxy Book S is not a 2-in-1 laptop convertible, meaning it can't fold back into a tablet or remove the keyboard.

The advantage the Book S Intel has over ARM-based laptops, such as the Surface Pro X, is that it ships and runs regular Windows 10 Home and therefore any standard Windows app.

devorah

Is Samsung Galaxy Book Flex good for gaming? Samsung Galaxy Book Flex is not a gaming laptop, but rather a device you would use for programming, work and study. However, if you want to play only indie and free games, the machine will make do for you. It comes with integrated graphics of the Intel Iris Plus series.
