Powerful Little Laptop…

I was a little skeptical with this Galaxy Book 12. I didn't expect it to perform as well as it has. As a pro photographer, I'm looking for something with power and portability for editing photos and video's while traveling. My main concern was it really a laptop or a glorified tablet. I use a tablet for email, surfing, watching movies, social media, and minor image enhancement. It can't run real programs.
Surprisingly, I was able to download Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere. It handled Photoshop with no problem. With Premiere, I imported 3 minutes of 4k video, made smaller proxies, edited with no problem. This little hybrid laptop tablet handled everything I threw at.
The screen is gorgeous. 12 inches is a great size. The image quality on the screen looks great. I watched a couple movies and they look just as good as my retina screen tablet. Blacks are deep and colors are rich.
Windows 10 is a pleasant surprise. It has most of the programs that I use with the exception of Youtube and Google. Come on Microsoft stop being so petty. I downloaded all the apps that I use on a regular like email, facebook, twitter, and Chrome. Fast and Impressive!
A couple things that annoyed me, like not including a USB-c adapter. The pen writes great but isn't as sensitive with photoshop as I expected. The pen came in handy when I mark up a pdf. The pen holder that attaches to the case is a little flimsy and may fall off.
I give it 4.5 stars because I really like it and can't find anything about it that I dislike. I can't believe how powerful it is. I can say that this Galaxy Book 12 exceeded my expectations.
