Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6 is a compact 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet powered by a fanless 7th Gen Intel Core m3-7Y30 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage, expandable via microSD. It features a sharp 10.6-inch TFT LCD display with a 1920 x 1280 resolution and supports the battery-free S Pen and a detachable folio keyboard.
