Security features are lacking compared with similar models. Many high-end<br />
tablets come with Windows Hello (including the Dell Latitude 5285), which<br />
uses an IR Camera to log you in without a password, or a fingerprint reader (the<br />
Huawei MateBook), or both (the Microsoft Surface Pro 4). The Galaxy Book<br />
supports neither of these biometric-based security features. Instead, it comes<br />
with Samsung Flow, which lets you log into your tablet using the fingerprint<br />
reader on your Samsung Galaxy phone. The catch is it won’t work if you use<br />
another brand of Android phone or an Apple iPhone. Samsung covers the<br />
Galaxy Book with a one-year warranty.<br />
DECENT PERFORMANCE, FORMIDABLE BATTERY LIFE<br />
Under the hood is an Intel Core i5-7200U processor with integrated Intel HD<br />
620 graphics, which helped the Galaxy Book eke out a win over the Surface Pro<br />
4 on the <strong>PC</strong>Mark 8 Work Conventional (2,906 points), Handbrake (2:16), and<br />
CineBench (318 points) tests. The Dell Latitude 5285 was the overall winner on<br />
these three tests, thanks to its faster Core i7 processor. The Surface Pro 4 aced<br />
Photoshop test with the Galaxy Book coming in a distant third (4:07). The<br />
Galaxy Book, the Latitude 5285, and the Surface Pro 4 were faster across the<br />
multimedia tests than the HP Spectre x2 and Huawei MateBook, both of which<br />
use low-powered Core m processors. None of these tablets produced playable<br />
scores on our 3D gaming tests, though the Latitude 5285 came the closest.<br />
JUST OK FOR<br />
WORK<br />
You’ll be able to get<br />
your work done, but<br />
it will feel slower,<br />
and storage will fill<br />
quicker than it<br />
would with some<br />
competitors.
