The battery life is great, allowing users to work for prolonged amounts of time without needing to locate a power source, with fast charging capabilities enabling full recharge in under 75 minutes.

Weaknesses

The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 360 has a mediocre webcam that only generates average video quality and can lead to poor video conferencing experiences.

There's a bit of screen wobble, which might be an issue for some users.
It can struggle with 6K export times, taking around 22 minutes and 18 seconds.
