Samsung Galaxy Book 2 360 review

Samsung Galaxy Book 2 360 (2022) — the budget convertible carry

The Galaxy Book 2 360 at $840 is the 2022 folding Galaxy: a Core i5-1235U with 16 GB of RAM and integrated graphics. The flagged strength is mobility at 87 (+35.9% above the class median); the flagged weakness is the 16 GB memory ceiling, half the class median.

Where it holds up

Mobility posts 87 — the second-highest reading on this batch's Samsung shelf — and portability reads 84.4 (high): at four years old, the carry is still the product. Office productivity holds 65.93 (high) and photo design 37 (mid), honest numbers for a 1235U with a folding hinge at this price.

Where it falls short

The 16 GB ceiling is the flagged weakness, and the sheet follows: performance 31.66 (low), gaming 23 (low), modeling 21 (low), engineering CAD 25 (low). Value posts 37.15 (mid) — fair for the format, not a bargain — and the 2022 platform sits two generations back of the shelf around it.

Price and depreciation

No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2022 cohort rate is 10% per year for this class.

Alternatives to consider

The Galaxy Book Flex 2 Alpha at $739 is the fixed-body sibling of the same silicon for $101 less; the Galaxy Book Pro 360 13 at $739 is the lighter 1.04 kg fold with the same 16 GB ceiling; the Prestige 14 Evo (13th Gen) at $954 adds a top-band office reading if the budget stretches.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The budget convertible: a four-year-old fold whose mobility reading still leads — bought for the carry and the hinge, with the low performance bands understood. The hinge and the 87 mobility reading are the two numbers that still compete in 2026 at this price. Four years of the 10% cohort rate are already baked into the $840 asking.
