Samsung Galaxy Book 2 получил 12-дюймовый дисплей Super AMOLED с разрешением 2160x1440 пикселей и поддержкоу стилуса S Pen. Регулируемая подставка встроена в корпус, есть подключаемая клавиатура, которая во время транспортировки защищает фронтальную панель. Внутри установлен 8-ядерный чипсет Snapdragon 850 с тактовой частотой до 2.96 ГГц и 4Гб ОЗУ. Встроенный накопитель имеет объём 128 ГБ, также есть слот для сменных карточек microSD.
Устройство работает под управлением ОС Windows 10 с режимом S Mode (приложения из магазина Microsoft Store), но есть возможность бесплатно перейти на полную версию системы. ARM-компьютеры поддерживают подключение к интернету даже в спящем режиме, поэтому пользователь сразу узнаёт о новом письме или сообщении в Skype.
Планшет получил два порта USB Type-C. Возле основной 8-мегапиксельной камеры на задней панели расположился сканер отпечатков пальцев для входа в Windows 10 без ввода паролей. Фронтальная камера на 5 мегапикселей. Имеются стереодинамики AKG с технологией Dolby Atmos. Samsung Galaxy Book2 способен продержаться несколько дней без подзарядки. Время автономной работы достигает 20 часов, правда, данные указаны для режима S Mode. Поддерживается работа в сетях 4G LTE.
Galaxy Book 2 поступит в продажу на американском рынке 2 ноября по цене $1000. В комплект поставки входят клавиатура и фирменный стилус S Pen. В Европе новинка вряд ли появится, так как Samsung не особо жалует этот регион своим вниманием, поскольку здесь властвуют дешёвые китайцы.
