10 Tips and Tricks for the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360!

[@maniayush07]

There is a spelling error on the top left side; Bonus is written as Bonud :D btw, Thoughts and comments on the sPen? How is the palm rejection? Haven't heard much on that anywhere

[@RADERTECH]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for letting me know! I see what you mean. Since it's embedded in the video, I'll just have to let it ride, but I'll pin this comment so folks don't get too rattled when they see it. S-Pen performance is great with this machine, I like it a lot. I actually have a few videos here on the channel about the S Pen performance, including how to prevent palm rejection. A quick search of "S Pen' on my videos tab should pull them right up. Thank you so much for watching!

[@itsachris]

Just got my new pc, and I went and did that audio thing… let me tell you, NIGHT AND DAY! The sound improvement was SO much bigger than what it sounded like in the video. Absolutely amazing. No wonder people say it’s shit when they haven’t toggled that setting. Night and day difference.

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for stopping by! That's so awesome, congrats on your new machine! I'm glad that audio tip was helpful, it sure does make a HUGE difference. Like you said, night and day difference, for sure!

[@bobprice6274]

Getting mine in a few days, looking forward to it

[@_Digitalguy]

Concerning stand-by time, my tip is to use hybernate instead of sleep. In sleep mode the pc is still on and can even get hot, while in hybernation it's basically off but saves everything to disk. Resume time is basically the same as resume from shut down, since you probably don't have real shut down, but only fast startup. Fast startup, enabled by default, is basically hybernation without saving open stuff to disk (only restart will really shut down the pc). Both hybernation and fast startup do use the battery since they are the same and some vital components stay on, but much less than sleep.

[@RADERTECH]

Great suggestion, thank you for sharing and for stopping by again 👍

[@marsen23]

That's what I thought too, mine is always hibernate on battery when lid is closed. Since, windows 10.

[@billcsho]

I have also switched to hibernation from sleep. I remember it consumed around 6% per hour when it was sleeping, but I think that has been improved after the first firmware update.

[@tooter5250]

I have a Book2 360 (not the Pro) on order, due in about a week. This tips tutorial will largely apply to that machine as well. This was extremely helpful, especially the very last tip about being patient those first few days, as there will be many updates that could bog down the machine. This was a very well done video. Thanks again.

Man.. You're not kidding about the audio difference with Dolby turned on. I got my new Book2 a couple days ago, just turned Dolby on now. The increase in quality is wild, just like you say sounds like a different machine. Thanks for the tip!

[@RADERTECH]

Congrats on getting one, it's a pretty awesome machine! Yeah, that Dolby thing is a big deal, it makes a night and day difference. I'm glad you found this useful, very cool. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@muhamadazwanismail]

Hi, Thank you so much for this video. I already bought Ideapad 5 Pro which has a decent specs but after I came across this video I returned the Ideapad and change with Book2 Pro 360 with a very good deal price. So far so good! When I compared between Book2 and Book3, the differences are very slight and I think Book2 is still in the game. The Book3's screen exceptional gorgeous but Book2 still awesome. Thank you again!

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching and for your kind words! That's a smart move, I'd take the book2 pro 360 over the ideapad 5 pro all day. The book2 is still a great machine, not too much of a difference between it and this year's book3. The newer screen is a little nicer, but not by much. They're both amazing OLED panels, so they're at the top of the food chain and both look good. Congrats on getting one!

[@photosbyjosef]

Thank you so much for this incredible video. I've watched a lot of videos in my life and I'm definitely buying the Galaxy book pro 2 and it is largely largely because of your video. Hands down the best optimization and demonstration of the capabilities of any computer I've ever seen

[@RADERTECH]

Wow, thank you so much for the super nice comment! It's a nice machine, especially after you get it dialed in and all of the updates get installed. Takes about 2 weeks to get it fully settled in.

[@tharrigan7936]

I was thinking of returning after 2 days of use because of it getting hot, fan constantly running, and slow performance. Your last tip of being patient was a real help. Definitely keeping it. Thank you.

[@onaknikol8763]

Also if u are just a light use i.e. only surf web, make notes like nothing demanding go to edjt power plan and change the max processor state to 99% this disables turbo boost and ur laptop will run much cooler and get better battery backup but yes at the cost of some performance but still that drop wont matter in light day to day tasks. Not recommended for editing or coding.

[@leonardofajardo6967]

the dolby access setting, such a major difference and I did not even know! great tips!

[@RADERTECH]

It sure does make a big difference, lol. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you!

[@kseniab114]

Thank you for these great tips, already applied many of them on my Samsung book2 360 (not pro, but they apply the same way, it seems :) Dolby, for instance, is a complete game changer! I was a little upset with the sound at first, but with Dolby on, it's so much better

[@RADERTECH]

Thank you so much for stopping by! Yeah, that Dolby setting is a big one, it's a night and day difference. Hope you're enjoying your book2 pro 360, it's been pretty solid for me so far.

[@itsachris]

Getting this great piece of tech on Monday and I’m super excited. New tech is what makes my days worth going through. I was wondering though, wouldn’t it make more sense to use the button to turn off and close the lid for sleep? Or maybe that’s just in my head. But I assume both ways work so I can use the way that sounds better to me.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thank you so much for watching! That's a great idea too, whatever works best for you personally, we're lucky to have so many options 👍

[@JustMusic113]

First, thanks for the video! Super helpful and completely agreed on all pointers! Had to figure most of them out the hard way, but you definitely saved me some time on a couple. RE: The screen/lid weakness issue between the hinges: I was toying with the idea of cutting a thin strip, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide and the same length as the inside distance between the hinges, of 1/8 inch thick neoprene (with the 3m backing) and placing it on the bottom half of the clam almost right out to the edge. I'm not a fan of doing that type of stuff, especially with such a clean looking device, but with the placement, the fact that it would be a very thin strip, and the ability of that stuff to stay stuck for a long time, I feel like I could get away with it without it being completely horrific in terms of aesthetics. That said, the question here IMHO would come down to whether the issue is purely the result of the gap between the screen and bottom, or if some of it also comes down to a weaker screen or poor hinge design. If it's the former, even just primarily, a carefully cut and sized piece of cushion that fills that gap should all but eliminate any potential problems. But if the screen is maybe a little weaker than it should be or the hinges are somehow putting undue pressure in the wrong places, I'm afraid that adding any pressure, even if minimal, spread out, and "well cushioned", could potentially add to the problem. Just curious what your thoughts would be on this or if you've seen/heard of anyone trying anything similar. Thanks again for the info!

Just a heads up for anyone interested in Dolby access. You now have to buy (£14:24 GBP) 'Dolby Atmos for Headphones' to enable any sound settings. Unfortunately, it seems they keep finding ways to dip our pockets even after purchasing the initial product (laptop).

[@acciaremy]

Very helpful, thanks SO much! Actually waiting for it, probably before Christmas :)

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for watching, and congrats on getting one, that's awesome!

[@andyH_England]

I would say close lid for sleep and press power button to hibernate. So at end of day you press the power button as if you are turning off and you get better battery on standby. Turn off if you do not expect to use for a few days like Friday's. That is one thing I love about my MB Pro 13 M1, I can leave it for weeks and it will lose very little battery/per day and be awake as soon as you lift the lid. Looking forward to some good WOA chips and MS to fix the software for ARM.

[@RADERTECH]

Thank you so much for watching! Yes sir, you can mix up those settings to work however you prefer them to for you 👍 I love MB Pro's, I'm jealous, ha ha. I hope you're having a great day!

[@RADERTECH]

Hi Alicia, thanks for stopping by! You should be able to hover the s pen a couple millimeters away from the desktop then click the s pen button. That should cause an Air Actions menu to pop-up, and one of the options is Samsung Notes. If you don't see Samsung Notes as an icon, you can edit the available icons right in the pop-up menu.

Wow man, hats off. You provided a amazing informational video and even replied all the comments. A great content creator you are. I am also buying this laptop (13.3 inch) next week. I am a bit more concerned about heating cuz it's smaller than the 15 inch version. Also don't know if it has the same number of fans for both sizes, it's not mentioned anywhere.

Congrats on getting one, and thank you for the super kind comment, I appreciate you!

[@prince_kamal]

@@RADERTECH do you know about number of fans in each size model?

[@RADERTECH]

@@prince_kamal There's one fan in the 13" model and 2 in the 15".

[@prince_kamal]

@@RADERTECH thanks for answering man. So it's gonna throttle much faster.

[@RADERTECH]

@@prince_kamal Exactly, you got it! I would personally consider the i5 version if you're wanting the 13" model. You'll get about the same performance since it won't thermal throttle as fast, and it will run quite a bit cooler in general. If you end up getting the 15" version with 2 fans, go with the i7, all day. They never make it easy when it comes to picking out options, lol.

Found this very helpful as I bought a new SGB2 360 last week. Quick Q: My startup is significantly slower than what you showed on your video (from power to login screen). Any suggestions on how to speed this up?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! It's most likely because I've had mine for a while and all of the updates have been caught up. It gets a lot of updates the first 2 to 3 weeks, and can be a little sluggish at boot up while it searches for more.

[@shubhamgawle5066]

Thank you for the great video, i did all what you showed in the video and i must say it improved my experience. Just concerned about the flex in the middle of the screen. in the video section of handling, are you pressing the middle part with some strength..? can it withstand some pressure or not? have you done some durability test for that part? i am concerned because i keep it in a laptop cover and sometimes forget which side to pick it from.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thank you so much for watching! I wouldn't worry much about it, especially if you're a careful person. I grab it from wherever too, it doesn't matter really as long as you don't squeeze it too hard. When you pull it out of your bag, maybe just grab it a little off center, so you're not grabbing directly in the middle. Then you won't have anything to worry about at all. I've been using this laptop a lot lately, it's become my main editing workstation since my desktop PC recently died on me. I grab it from weird angles all the time, no issues at all.

I'm always happy to help with one off questiosn as well, feel free to just leave them on a random video, and I'll see them in youtube studio. I don't often see replies to messages, but I always get the original first comment you leave. Hopefully that makes a little sense, lol. I remember putting out a video showing folks how to use all of the quick actions and commands that you're referring too, but for the life of me, I don't recall what video it is! Oh my goodness, I'm starting to lose to track of my own content! To get the pop-up menu to show up, you'll want to hover the pen just barely above the screen, and then press the button. Somethings it takes a couple times, and often there might be a small delay, but it should show up. If you still don't see it, you can make sure it's enabled by opening up Samsung Settings from the start menu. If I recall correctly, there's a toggle on of those screens for turning the air commands on and off. Thanks again for stopping by and for the nice comment!

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! I have quite a few videos on screen mirroring and second display, but none that focus on laptop to laptop sharing. You have a ton of options though. TeamViewer works great as well as the free version of AnyDesk. You can also setup a RDP connection if both are on the same network, which will be the case when you're at home. I think you can even use the Windows Key+K/Windows Key+P to miracast from one to the other. Happy to help further if you get stuck.

Hi! Thank you so much for the tips but I have one question please. I got this machine last Wednesday so less than a week but I don’t know if the laptop came with some issues or I’m just not used to it yet because I got some kind of bugs out of nowhere with the screen. I mean I can use it for a few minutes and then right after the screen starts bugging and I can’t even use the keyboard 😕 is it because of the updates or I should see someone who can fix it ? Please I really need help ! Thank you

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for stopping by. I'm afraid that doesn't sound right at all. Even if updates were pending, it shouldn't behave like that. Check windows updates and Samsung Updates to make sure you have the latest video and BIOS updates, and make sure it's all up to date. If that doesn't help at all, I'd suspect it's a hardware issue and should be checked ou.

Nice video thanks! I do have a question. If I change the battery save settings like you and press the button for getting in to sleep and close the lid after that - the system shuts totally down. It seems to go into sleep after pushing the button and then after closing the lid it shuts down completely. Any Ideas why? I did it exactly the same way like you.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching. It's been a long time since I've made this, but if you want the opposite, just set the power button=shutdown or sleep, and the close lid action=hibernate. If I recall correctly, the power setup mentioned in this video was for those that tend to leave their lid open often. There's no harm in switching those settings up.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thank you so much for watching! I love it too, it's been a great machine. Hmm, you definitely shouldn't be getting any scratches from using the s pen. It can leave some smudgy lines if you apply a lot of pressure, but usually those can be easily wiped away. Perhaps inspect the s pen tip very closely, there might be a small imperfection with it, or uneven wear that's causing scratches. I would personally swap out the s pen tip before using it any more. Scratches aren't good, you don't want to start accumulating them. To help with the scratches you already have, try first doing a basic cleaning with a wipe designed for laptop screens. Then after it dries, and nice wipe down with a microfiber cloth. Make sure to press lightly when doing doing all of this and take your time. It'll help with all of the microabrasions and small scratches.

i bought this laptop, 16gb. 1tb storage, intel i71260p. I really do like it. got the open box at a decent price. Just don't know if i should keep it. I'm enjoying it and all. But, don't know if I'm willing to spend what I spent. $950 before taxes. I tend to get buyers remorse on everything. I did the same thing when I bought my surface pro 6 nearly 5 years ago. What should I do?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for stopping by. Well, at that price, I'd think I'd keep it. That's a $1,000 for an Intel 12th gen with an OLED screen, I think you'd have a hard time beating that price point. There's always going to be better next year, but then you'll have to pay that "new Item" price.

When plugging in to charge what % should I plug it in and should I use the battery saver And what are the charging color is red or amber battery needs charged I know green is. Full charged battery

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching, and my apologies for the slow reply. I would definitely keep the battery saver feature on if you plan on leaving it plugged in often, it will lengthen the life span of the battery. Like you mentioned, green is full charge. Then amber is when it's charging but not fully charged yet, and blue is when you're off AC power but the device is on. I haven't seen it turn red on mine, that could be for when you're very low on battery. I'm not sure, as I rarely let mine dip below say 20%.

hey! not sure if you'll see this but how long have you had this laptop now and how has the performance been? looking to get it and im concerned about the longevity considering the price. Also, which model did you get?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for stopping by! I've had this machine since it was released, I think I got delivery on March 31st of 2022, something very close to that. I also had last year's model and used it without any issues for a solid year before getting this one. I use it nearly every day, say 6 out of 7 days of the week. It's been solid, no real issues to report. I did have one time where my fingerprint reader stopped working after an update a while back, but I just had to re-register my prints and it started working fine again. That's the only real issue I've had with it. Performance is solid. I used this as my main editing machine for a solid month when my desktop PC went out on me (SSD went bad, easy fix), and it handled it well with proxies. I've done some light gaming on it (GTA V and OverWatch mostly), and it actually holds up pretty well. Some dips in FPS at times, but nothing that would make you want to stop playing. For day to to day stuff, it works very good, no issues at all. This model is the maxed out 15.6" version. So the 16gb, 1TB with the 2160P i7 12th gen chipset. This one is the graphite color option, I like it a lot. It hardly picks up any fingerprints compared to last year's Navy Blue option that I had. Happy to answer any other questions you may have about it.

Hi RADAR TECH, i purchased this laptop a couple of days back and one thing i noticed id that it heats up pretty quickly!, even during normal browsing the bottom get really hot (in optimized mode). do you know the reason? can this issue be solved?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! Congrats on getting it, it's a really nice laptop. Being new, you have a bunch of updates from both Samsung and Microsoft that will get installed the first few days, and those fans and the heat will be on the crazy side for the first week or. I had strong concerns at first too, but after a week or 2, it completely stabilized and rarely gets hot at all anymore. The only times it heats up now is when I render long videos or do some heavy gaming, of which is to be expected. Give it a little time, and check the Samsung Update app and Microsoft Windows Update frequently and get everything installed as soon as possible. Once you do, more updates will come. After a week or so, it should be smooth sailing.

[@rishikantjena4763]

@@RADERTECH thanks for helping out, I have another concern, while opening the Samsung updates app it shows download drivers, but there are no driver options available for download, then a pop up is shown saying this model can be supported through a Windows Update!

Very nice video. Just got my glaxy book 2 pro 360 13.3 inch with i5 12th gen today. so far i am very happy with it if there wasnt one thing. I find that my Ram usage is just too high. i know that i have only 8gb but 60% without anything opened on desktop is too high. i tried like everything, deleted unwanted apps and services, ran a few memory tests (seemed fine), deleted unwanted processes, clearing the ram doesnt even help for short period. If i have like 2 chrome tabs open and maybe another not very intense software ram usage spikes sometimes and it gets kinda laggy. do you maybe have an advise for me how to fix this? or just give the system a little bit more time?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thank you so much for watching! I would give it a few days at a minimum before worrying too much about. There's a lot of updates that get installed the first few days, and it takes a while for things to "settle down". My book2 pro 360 ran like crap for the first week or so, and it got very hot often. But after several updates and restarts, it stabilized nicely. Check on Windows Updates and for Samsung updates using the Samsung Update often. But please do keep in mind that 8gb on a Windows 11 machine is the bare minimum you should be using, so RAM usage will likely always seem a bit high. I really hope every company makes 16gb the minimum going forward on win11 machines.

[@Chilli_76]

@@RADERTECH Thank you so much for the quick feedback. I´ll keep checking for updates ;) yes after i got it 2 days ago it went really hot for the first few hours but now it is already so much better. Thought that too, 8gb is a little low bc windows 11 is very Ram demanding. i just wanted the 13.3 inch one bc i needed sth very handy. I think i can still manage the 8GB just need to be a little careful. Hope that the next ones will have atleast 16GB min even for the small ones, or at least they could make it upgradeable.

Hi, thanks for watching! So is it turning off while you're in the middle of using it, or is it after you walk a way for a few minutes? It has a very short screen timeout, I'm pretty sure the default is 4 minutes. This is to help protect the Amoled panel and save battery life. You can change that in the power saving settings.

Question for you since your a Samsung guy😎 I bought the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 and have been happy with it so far. Your videos have helped out with settings like this one so I thought I'd ask you your opinion on the wifi performance of the Book 2 Pro 360? I have a Galaxy Fold 3 as well and just hooked up a new wifi 6 router that is capable of some fast speeds. The Fold 3 is twice as quick in the download speed department compared to the Book 2 Pro 360🤔🤷‍♂......? Any suggestions on why the Book 2 Pro is basically half the speed of the Fold 3 on the same wifi network? The Fold is getting about 400mbps DL speeds on average with my current internet plan and the Book 2 Pro 360 hovers around 200-240 mbps DL speeds? Appreciate your videos and the time you put into them for us Samsung fans!

[@RADERTECH]

Thank you so much, I appreciate you!. I'm noticing similar results, but not quite as bad yours. So I just tested my Fold 3 using speedtest and the download speed was 747MB on my 1 GB wifi 6 network, and it was hitting up to 850MB before it finished. But on the GB2 Pro 360 my score was 575, so about 150mb slower. I noticed it went way down if went into the lower performance modes, and it works best when in Optimized or high performance mode. I'll need to look into it for you further, I'm not really sure why there's such a difference.

[@gabeh7373]

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah I didn't think about changing the performance mode I did test it in optimized mode not the highest setting performance mode don't know if that would make a difference but maybe it's the chipset that Samsung used as opposed to what is in the Fold 3 which I'm guessing is a Qualcomm modem 🤷🏽

@@gabeh7373 Your most likely right, it could very well be the Qualcomm modem outperforming whatever wifi 6e card is in the 360. I saw it in a teardown video, and it's tiny.

Hi Henry, thanks for watching! We will definitely see a 32gb option with the galaxy book 3 pro ultra. It should be out soon, my best guess would be late March, early April. When Samsung first releases a new laptop, that's the best time to order, during pre-order time. Last year, I traded in a Gear S3 watch that I bought off Amazon for $100, and they gave like a $350 instant savings for it. They also gave out a free 32" monitor, so I ended up paying less than $1,000 all things considered. When it gets to be time, I'll put out a video explaining the best trade-in deals possible.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching. Yes, you can do this with any 2 in 1 laptop like this one. The best approach is to create 2 shortcuts, one that disables touch input, while the other re-enables it for you. This way you can switch back and forth. Here's the instructions, I "borrowed" this from reddit, lol... How to: Go to Control Panel -> Device Manager Expand Human Interface Devices and identify you touch screen which should be named HID-compliant touch screen. Right click it and select Properties. In the Driver tab hit Disable Device and check that your touch screen is, in fact, disabled. If that worked then click Enable Device to get your touch screen back and continue. If it didnt work then something has already gone wrong and you should abort. In the Details tab, select Device instance path from the drop down menu. You should see a value listed below - select it and Ctrl-V it into notepad or where ever. It should be some funny bag of characters like HID\ELAN345&BLAH\3&3453456843. Right click on your desktop and select New->Shortcut In the box marked "Type the location of the item" enter: C:\Windows\System32\pnputil.exe /disable-device "" Click Next, give your shortcut a name and press finish Make a second shortcut in exactly the same way but use /enable-device instead of /disable-device in step #6. For each shortcut, Right click->Properties->Advanced and tick "Run as administrator" That's it. You should now be able to enable or disable your touch screen by clicking those two shortcuts.
