Galaxy Book Odyssey Laptop Computer, 15.6”, 32GB, 1TB, Intel Core i7 Processor, Customized Gaming, Full HD Screen, Pro Keyboard, Surround Sound, US Version, Mystic Black

I wanted a 15.6" laptop with 10-key numeric keypad, 32GB memory, and a minimum 1TB storage. I also wanted some full sized USB (A) ports, USB-C with video output capability, and an RJ45 network connector, to directly link to a router or LAN if/ when needed, and a discrete GPU.This Samsung model is not the lightest weight laptop in the market, but it meets all the above needs and more.ProsAll the features I was looking for above are met in this laptop. With a little (MS) hassle, I was able to upgrade from Home to Windows 11 Pro, and I then added MS Office Pro 2021, all running perfectly. Graphics performance is excellent (relatively quiet, even when fully loaded). And after adding Dolby and DTS codecs (MS store), audio is very impressive for a thin laptop.ConsThe laptop comes with Windows 11 HOME edition, not Pro. And it seems not to recognize some of the microSD chips I have (it reads my 4, and 8 GB, but can't read my off-brand 32GB chips). This model is not touchscreen (I didn't care at all, but this may be a point for some people). And again, there are other, lighter weight options in the market.Regrets?No, I don't regret this purchase. MS Windows 11 took...a little getting used to, and some adjustment. Example, I HAD TO put the start button back on the left - I HATE having it in the center (take this as feedback, MS!). VPN toggle is more convenient, though it still doesn't include OpenVPN as an option, without add-on software (again, MS, feedback!). But I'm very happy with the product so far.

Turned it on and it overheated and almost died. Screen never went on.The Galaxy Book Chassis, was obviously not meant to have huge video cards, fans, and all that.
