    I have to say that I'm not impressed with its look and it hasn't even got a numeric keypad. I have to admit that while I hate most of Samsung products, the Galaxy Book Pro 15 inch laptop looks amazing, especially the white version. I think I would even be willing to buy it, if it had a webcam ''privacy shutter'' like most Lenovo laptops, so they dropped the ball there.

    You may wonder what OLED is and why we might want it.

    OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode.

    I'm no expert but

    I think that you don't need a back light, the screen itself produces the light and this makes for lighter, thinner, laptops.

    From what I've seen, it simply looks way better with OLED. That's why you also have to pay a premium price. But I think I'm not willing to pay over €1000 euro for a laptop. So I probably end up buying a 15 inch Lenovo IdeaPad or Yoga laptop, without an OLED screen.
