Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro: Is The Ecosystem Worth it?

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro is a solid ultrabook, but what makes it stand out over other Windows laptops? What are the actual benefits if you own multiple Samsung products? In this video, I wanted to go over the “ecosystem” features. Hopefully, by the end, you’ll have a better idea if you wanna give Samsung more of your money or maybe look elsewhere for your next laptop.

💬 Anyone interested in a comparison between Apple's Universal Control and Samsung's Multi Control?

For what it's worth, I do wanna give HUGE props to Samsung for NOT making those features exclusive to Samsung laptops. That's a bonus, not a negative. As a consumer, yes it means we may not buy their laptops, but their willingness to "play nice" with others is also is one of the major reasons why we buy Samsung devices at all.

Samsung's quick share is underrated honestly

The timing of this video is perfect! Been looking for possibly buying a samsung laptop to replace my current one (Asus). Since I already have a samsung phone, earbuds and tablet, I wanted to stay within their ecosystem. They're pricy laptops though, so I wanted to see if it's worth the money. Great video!

Been wanting to get a samsung laptop just for the ecosystem for a while now but thinking it over I realize it's actually not that worth it, specially now with not only most laptops supporting almost all of the same features that the samsung offers, but also nowadays even if you can get a nice discount with samsung, I would still choose another laptop that can still be less expensive and equally good and another important feature that Samsung hasn't aquired yet is the 16:10 aspect ratio, they're still stuck at 16:9 wich also makes other options much more appealing

Thank you for your input and as someone who is in Samsung ecosystem I absolutely agree with all the points you made. Their laptops are nice but they need to up their game. That said, I'd love to get my hands on a Galaxy Book 2 360 -- if I get a nice discount that is

Thao missed that whilst the Samsung Gallery App for Windows works on any PC and is just like the Phone App, it's only useful on a PC IF you use the built in Sync to OneDrive. It isn't showing what's on your phone but what's on your phone that's been synced to OneDrive. If you're a Google Photos or other cloud storage user it's just a quite basic PC Photo Library app. You can add photos from your PC but it works best if you use OneDrive.

The content on this channel is just too good, Few days back I started with one video and now I am a fan, I have been binge watching all the previous videos just because they are too good. Loved your review style and more than that your vibes.

[Connor_Dempsey]

I have phone, tablet, tv, this laptop, but don't find I use any of these Samsung features on the laptop. Great laptop. Great screen colors.

Samsung Notes is not available on all Windows laptop (not available without sideloading on my ThinkPad)

[MonkeyDRan]

Sorry, how do you download samsung note one regular windows. It only works for my Samsung galaxy book 360 pro, but not on my PC. Samsung account cant be used on regular windows PC too.

[HarmScher]

You can't get the samsung apps on other wn 10 devices (such as samsung notes) though, (I tried. While it's there in the microsoft store, it won't let you install it) I know you can still drop files or look at them through the phone link app on win10. Other than that, I agree what you've said here.

[ChaitanyaSuri]

Just a small correction. Smasung notes app isnt available on other devices, just like quickshare, its an samsung exclusive. That hoenslty is one of the USP of the device.

Even I was leaning towards buying the galaxy book series considering the snotes app exclusivity. The price remained the biggest reason why I opted not to. I convinced myself that Snotes app on my tabs7+ is sufiicient enough for me to not spend a premiuim on the galaxy book series.

In hindisght, it was a wise decision. Could use the money saved on buying more accesories such as the MX keyboard and mouse.

Moreover, the flow is a decent substitute for quick share, so I really dont miss quickshare on my windows device.

[KevinTspirit]

Thanks for sharing. I'm content with my Galaxy Book S and other Samsung devices.
Truthfully, I seldom use any of the ecosystem perks. I love my, now older, Galaxy Book S for its feather weight, LTE connection, and battery life. The other things are bonuses when I need them .

[maddowlysunlight]

Samsung apps are visible in the store on any Win PC, but you can’t download them on any Win PC. Don’t know what restricts them but it seems the only official supported devices are Samsungs own

[butchgo]

The problem of ecosystems is that If you’re locked in on one it’s kinda hard to switch to another without giving up all the devices that are part of it.

[bodrulm]

16:9 is a deal killer, and FHD only at 15.6" is worse still. Great product if it was 2019

[swood]

Exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks! I also want to echo the comments below giving props to samsung for maintaining their compatibility with other PC's! Very important stuff!

[legerdemain]

Nice. I was trying to figure out what kind of advantage I get from a Samsung Galaxy Book since I'm using a Samsung Galaxy phone, Samsung earbuds, and Samsung watch. Great intro, really solid video. I didn't realize how many Samsung apps work on any laptop. Subscribed!

[univeconq]

Samsung should take a look at how Huawei integrate their products into one solid ecosystem. It works so well if you have a Huawei phone, tablet and laptop. Unfortunately, I need google services, so I'm using a samsung phone and tablet. But Huawei laptop still can use Windows, so I bought a Huawei matebook instead. I must say Huawei is really good in making premium hardware and good looking device.
Agree with your points, Samsung really need to improve on their ecosystem integration between their laptop and other galaxy lineups. So far it's just meh.
