Samsung Galaxy Book Ion

The Samsung Galaxy Book Ion is a sleek and portable laptop that promises high-performance capabilities in a compact package. However, its features and design may not meet the expectations of all users. I've had the chance to experience this device firsthand, and my initial impression is mixed. While I appreciate its slim design and excellent port selection, some aspects of the keyboard and display resolution leave much to be desired. Let's dive into a detailed review of this laptop to see if it truly delivers on its promises.

MSI Bravo 17

Seven years ago, I invested in a Samsung laptop worth around 16,000 for work and photo/video editing needs. It served me well until the fifth year when it started to slow down, freezing during video rendering and crashing frequently. A hard drive replacement with an SSD didn't fully resolve the issue, leading to frustrating experiences. I've recently upgraded to a new gaming laptop, but my trusty old one has left me with some expectations for its successor.
