Hi all,
Newbie here and only stumbled across this forum from a Google search and didn't even know about the online store!
I'm an Android/Samsung user. Tablet, headphones, watch, smart watch are all samsung so naturally I'm also inclined to buying a Samsung laptop. I'm not sure which one I should buy or what the differences are between the various options for sale. I know the Samsung do a Book series 3/4/5. Which is the right one for me (taking in to consideration price/value/tech). It's not clear to me what the great difference is between the Book Series 4 v's their new Book 5 series. I've seen on retailer website (Currys), the price of some Book 4 series be higher than a Book 5 laptop... Anyone who has experience with these laptops can give me a steer would be greatly appreciated. My knowledge of computers in general is very limited, even though I'll spend evenings watching YouTube videos of Linus and others building gaming rigs purely because they look so good
Not looking to spends thousands, ideally the cheaper the better but obviously I know that will have trade offs but I don't have much money. I'd like it to sync with my current Samsung gear I own and stay within that eco system. Primarily will use it to browse the net, video watching, some work related, very limited photo/video editing and probably playing some games (nothing that requires a gaming rig, Football manager type games). The lighter the laptop, the better.
I live also in Spain for most of the year in a rented flat and don't have a dedicated workspace set up otherwise I'd go all out and have a fancy monitor/desk/chair...(would love all that set up one day!)
Owned:
S23 Ultra
Galaxy tab S8+
Galaxy buds 3
Galaxy watch Ultra.
