I fail to understand most of the comments here. Why would you even go into buying this laptop with high expectations given its price point! This is a good machine for people on a tight budget who only want to do light productivity, students in particular; have to write a 50 page document, this is for you; want to make presentations on PowerPoint, this is for you; want to check and reply to emails, browse the web (esp edge) and watch shows for fun, THIS IS FOR YOU.
Esp if you're a fan of Samsung and are already part of their ecosystem, this laptop would synchronize nicely with your phone/devices.
This is a really good device for your kids too, sensitizing them towards laptops, using them and typing on them.

Also, someone up there calling the battery tiny has no idea about this laptop or this chip and just saw the numbers of its rating. ARM processors are especially designed for efficiency, and this laptop easily lasts for 10 hours at least and for 14 hours if you milk it as reported by many reviewers.

No one would get this laptop (or even look for it) to game, to run 20+ tabs of chrome, or create extensive spreadsheets. It's an ARM processor, yes, and would run almost all the apps which have, more or less, been customized for this chip. All apps which you want for your general productivity because, again, that's what this laptop is for.

Not trying to shove this deal down anyone's throat but need to make them realize who this is geared towards.

Paid membership vs Trial Membership is becoming more of a thing it seems. I guess it was only a matter of time.

google said microsoft said:

"Windows 11 adds the ability to run unmodified x64 Windows apps on Arm devices! This ability to run x86 & x64 apps on Arm devices gives end-users confidence that the majority of their existing apps & tools will run well even on new Arm-powered devices.May 25, 2022"

basically they can run all apps. if they cant run natively. the apps will run on its emulator.
GTK and you understand that. Some people asking questions that looks like a foreign language what you just posted. Translation: emulation with 4gb ram is a miserable experience and really slow. Set your expectations low for this machine and you wont be disappointed.

Relax, I get you want to defend your post and not saying it's a bad deal but TN displays are terrible and would not recommend them at any price. They're that bad. It's like you're watching a screen at off angle ALL the time and all you want to do is find the right angle because colors are terrible but unfortunately at no angle still the color look decent. The best I can describe it is it looks like those lenticular/holographic pictures you had as a kid but actually worse.
I'd advise you to not put words in my mouth. I'm not "defending" my post but just trying to clear out the mountain you're making out of a molehill and misleading people. Idk if you've personally even used such a panel or, if you did, it was the worst one.
I've used a 768p TN panel on an 8 years old HP Pavilion for a good ol' 3-4 years before moving on to a 1600p IPS Display, and hence know what a TN panel looks like. Not denying the terrible viewing angles but other than that there was nothing wrong with that panel. The colors despite looking washed out were accurate enough to enjoy media. That was a 780p panel and this is a 1080p TN panel we're talking about which is perfectly appropriate for the niche this laptop targets.

You can even watch YouTube reviews of this device and even in those videos Samsung Go's screen didn't appear like "lenticular/holographic pictures you had as a kid but actually worse".
Not saying it's as good as IPS and yes it's bad, but it's not as bad as you're wording it out to be.

Kindly go watch those videos first and then we can discuss this matter further, instead of threadcrapping and misleading people.

tns are effing fine overdramatic much. people loved the tanky old thinkpads with some of the worst tns ever and not all tns are created equal either. there are also things called external displays and frankly there are tons of ppl out there who dont give a shit it doesnt have a 2000 degree viewing angle because theyll always sit in front of it and perhaps a few % off color accuracy no one will ever notice unless side by side.

To be honest, it sounds like a bot. Maybe SD staff are creating bots to make fake replies to it seems like whatever they post are deals when they're not.

Don't have time to go around watching YouTube videos all day but I googled "galaxy book go" and in the very first link I find this

"The screen, notably, reaches a commendable 1080p resolution, but is utterly terrible in every other way."
https://www.techradar.com/reviews...xy-book-go

Color me surprised. Going to bet the YouTube reviews says it's pretty terrible too. If you feel good about recommending a bad product to people then by all means, feel free too. I made my case.

External displays? Lol. That's your solution? I mean you do you.

And no it's not about having a wide viewing angle, it's about this feeling like it has no viewing angle at all. No matter how you stare at a TN display, the colors are so crappy it'll feel like you're always off angle.

Doesn't this have a standard walmart return policy?

How the display performs for you is something you'd notice there first time you boot this up anyway, so if it's an issue you'll definitely identify it within the return window. So, why not take a call on this yourself? Worst case, you hate the screen or performance so much, you send it back for a refund.

Personally, if i were looking for a Chromebook which usually has a 720p screen in this price range, I'd consider this as a small upgrade - looks like its more flexible compared to that and an easy switch for an existing windows user.

whats so bad about it? if its just for the viewing angle. who cares at his screen size. infact its a plus for more privacy.
I have a laptop with a TN panel, and every laptop I used before that had the same screen, basically it only has one angle which is extremely limited, and any other angle the image literally looks inverted or too dark or too bright. It has nothing to do with privacy. Also it leads to all sorts of nasty light bleed that happens at night. If a cheap Amazon fire tablet can use an IPS lcd screen, so can this, and IPS is hugely better, it's night and day difference,

With all the comments on ARM, TN screen and low ram this sales price looks like what the original price should have been.
