Is it Worth it?
The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex is a sleek laptop with a comfortable design. The built-in S Pen offers useful features, such as note-taking and drawing capabilities. While there are some drawbacks, including a loose hinge and limited configuration options, the device's performance and battery life make up for these shortcomings.

Build
The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex boasts a sleek design with a beautiful blue coloring. The laptop's build is solid, but the hinge feels loose, leading to a wobbly touchscreen experience. Despite this, the keyboard is comfortable to type on, with decent travel and backlit chiclet keys. However, the arrow keys are small and can be easily missed. The laptop's dimensions are compact, making it easy to carry around. Overall, while not perfect, the Galaxy Book Flex's build is a mixed bag, with some notable strengths and weaknesses. For an improved build, Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 is worth considering.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex's 13.3-inch display is a highlight, using QLED technology to deliver vibrant colors and good viewing angles. While not 4K, the 1080p resolution ensures decent battery life. The screen gets very bright, with an outdoor mode that hits 400 nits at max brightness and can be bumped up to 600 nits. Bezels are slim on all sides except for a noticeable chin at the bottom, but it's still a great-looking display overall.

Overall, the battery life is a strong point of this laptop, but charging speed and portability could be improved.
