What are /r/GalaxyBook's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This is the one I got after reading a favorable review from another GB360 user. It's driving a pair of 27" 4K screens along with keyboard, trackball and speaker system.

Anker Apex 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0928W3XHD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Not cheap, but this dock works nicely with my Galaxy Book 360 Pro 13: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0928W3XHD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_8K0GY79CDJZ1T4YA6V4Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Driving a pair of 4K screens @ 60Hz

I bought the samsung official neoprene pouch 13.3 for my galaxy book2 360 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099MSXFW7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and it fits so well! although it is not exactly a hard case it protects the laptop very well with its sturdy material imo

https://www.amazon.com/STAEDTLER-180J-equipped-displays-yellow-black/dp/B0728HBD7F/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2U6BVL6S1XQTX&keywords=staedtler%2Bnoris&qid=1669839268&sprefix=stadler%2Bnorris%2Caps%2C60&sr=8-2&th=1

Is this what you're talking about?

Update on this hard case mentioned in a comment before:

• Pros: the internal compartment like a glove and overall protection looks good
• Cons: a bit bulky (could be a bit thinner, but perhaps protection level would suffer because of this) and missing additional compartments, e.g., for cables and stylus.

Anyhow, it looks good for travels as provides sufficient protection.

Probably I'll combine it with a thin sleeve for the cases when higher level protection level isn't necessary.

You can actually buy Monitors now with USB C ports that can carry video to the monitor, while simultaneously charging the laptop. That's what I'm looking for.

Nice backup solution. I have a Synology DS218+ that I use to store most files, also utilize Google Drive and Dropbox. I should probably look into something like Ironkey for private data. Thanks for your input!

Below is what I'm using to get me by for now till I find a USB C monitor...

https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-mp-aukey-cbc71-8-in-1-usb-c-hub-with-ethernet-port

I got the book 2 pro 360. I'm fine without the HDMI port. I have one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07THJGZ9Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and a USB C hub with HDMI as well everything else far as cables are braided.

USB C to USB micro

USB C to USB B and so on.

If companies "still" cant embrace USB C and wont evolve from the type A port....cables are now making it easier to transition. It would be nice if everything was double sided though.

One would think its more convenient to have the ports built in themselves, but i hate stuff sticking out...Being in music production and having tons of external gear you get tired of having wires hanging out and tripping over them ruining ports because they bent lol. I hate hubs but its more safer and more practical for me. The book 2 will fall right on the floor if you trip on a cable because the weight wont keep it down.

Great question, I bought this one for my 13 inch Book2Pro but the sleeve is a little too big. I'm tempted to spend the £20ish on the Samsung Neoprene but I would rather a hard case. If anyone knows of any decent hard cases please shout!

Amazon case

Samsung Neoprene

Yes! I use this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086N4KK7Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The STAEDTLER Noris digital jumbo.

The price is should be around $35, so you might want to hold out to see if it goes back down. The Classic is cheaper, but reviewers have complained that it's a bit too thin to be comfortable. Plus the Jumbo has the eraser on the end, whereas the Classic does not.

Note: neither of these use batteries, so you won't be able to use any of the Samsung specific actions that use the S-Pen's Bluetooth.

Anker also has one...

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Compact-Foldable-MacBook/dp/B09C5RG6KV/ref=sr_1_2?crid=76BKJ2YIZDUP&keywords=anker+765&qid=1655076301&sprefix=anker+765%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-2

That really sounds like an adapter issue. Which is odd?

Regardless, I am using this adapter since I travel and it's light weight. Works great on the laptop.

360 13" user here for about nine months, still going strong. no real issues with software nor hardware durability. only nagging issue is the left speaker gets all distorted sometimes, like there's a loose wire or connection or something; someday I'll crack it open again and look.

when traveling (or really carrying it anywhere outside the house) I use this sleeve https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RJ9P97N/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought this for my pro 2 360, very reasonable and fits perfectly. They are generic so should work with the pro 360 as well.

Works well with the pen but you might notice a bit more of a drag since these are matte vs glossy. I like it more because it feels more like paper

Yeah, I’ll link it below. If I plug the power into the computer it does nothing but if I plug the power into the connector while other devices are plugged in no battery alerts.

Which exact Renaisser pen do you have? is it this one ?https://www.amazon.com/RENAISSER-Sensitivity-Rechargeable-Raphael-520/dp/B081NRTK9K/ref=sr\_1\_1\_sspa?crid=XT8KMPIBA0GN&keywords=RENAISSER%2BStylus&qid=1650558447&s=electronics&sprefix=renaisser%2Bstylus%2Celectronics%2C268&sr...

Not too big, not too small, and works great.

Oh WoW....I'm sorry I don't know why I thought we were talking about a case here so sorry but here's the link to the one I bought from Amazon.

ANTOGOO V tempered glass for 15.6

I'm using a multi-port adapter, it has USB C on one end then 3 HDMI ports, a memory card port and another USB C, so I plug the USB c side of the adapter into the Book2 USB c port, then a HDMI plug from the port adapter to the monitor, here's the exact one I use 🤙🏽

QGeeM USB C Hub, 5 in 1 USB C to HDMI Adapter, with 4K HDMI Output, USB 3.0, SD/TF Card Reader Compatible with MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, XPS, Surface Pro/Go More Type C (Thunderbolt 3) Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08733BK1W/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_50SAXFZMWSD1316T8488?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

You're welcome! I think something like this would fit real nice

https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Elastic-Protected-Adhesive-Attached/dp/B07MLVVZQ8/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=1SHKQIIC1DEHN&keywords=apple+pencil+holder+adhesive&qid=1647835829&sprefix=apple+pencil+holder+adhesive%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-5

I read a few reviews online about screens randomly cracking that had me worried about the screen. I did end up going back to Best Buy where I purchased to get accidental damage coverage which made me feel better. My biggest concern was travel since I do that fairly often so I purchased a hard sided laptop case. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XXF5JCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_YV7M8EQS55BEB7A9HP8G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The reason I didn’t end up returning when I saw the screen issues is that the salesperson said the ProBook 360 was as close to a Mac you could get without having to learn a new system

$20 Amazon basics 65W PD works just fine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087MD5MYH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_8Q7NDCWHQY96WGK0KN5A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Further I also picked up a corded outlet that works great for this as well as can charge other peripherals simultaneously:

USB C Charger 65W Baseus GaN3 USB C Wall Charger with 2 Outlets & 3 Fast Charging Ports, USB C Charging Station with 100W Type C Cable, GaN Charger Compatible with MacBook Laptops iPhone Samsung iPad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HBJ1Z96/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_AHTB8YY0GDEQZX2XRX2H?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Both have worked for me with no issue, the second one is more expensive but helps cut down on items/cords stored, while basically acting as a corded power hub for most any device.

I've read someone here on Reddit mention that he uses something like this attached to the bottom part of the lid of the laptop. https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Elastic-Protected-Adhesive-Attached/dp/B07MLVVZQ8/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?crid=BNN4BX9JJV9L&keywords=s+pen+sleeve&qid=1644845110&sprefix=s+pen+sleev%2Caps%2C341&sr=8-15

Not sure which protocol but I bought the RENAISSANCE Raphael stylus and it works. Really any Windows one works

Bought this one https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B081NRTK9K/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_V31B6KHC0CE2M3VE2CMD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The Anker one I have is this one, but I guess it’s been replaced by a new model. If you’re worried about compatibility, I wonder if the 100w PD would be an issue since the Galaxy Book only takes 65w.

Anker Hub

I got these from Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097PXBBBN

The price is slightly higher and 3 of them are the wrong size and no use to me, but the barrel is a bit shorter and seems to fit better.

YMMV

No idea about the screen cracking cause I’ve only had mine a month. But I did buy this case (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BC8GZ21/ref=ppx_yo_tab_ap_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and a screen protector just in the case I get a little clumsy.

I know this is a few days old, but I just got this in the mail today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SJ3GQTD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_7J033NAWVJ9G6XE8BK49?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

There are some mediocre reviews, but I have the alpha2 and it works, doesn't slip out. The barrel is too long but it doesn't have to be wiggled or anything like one of the reviews said. However, keep in mind your usb-c still has to be strong enough to charge a computer. I have an old cable from my prior laptop. A usb-c cable plugged into an outlet isn't going to work.

I had a similar concern as I'm using the pen a lot for Photoshop, etc. so I picked up one of these, fits well over the active screen area:

FORITO 15.6" Laptop Tempered Glass Screen Protector Compatible with 15.6” HP/DELL/Asus/Acer/Sony/Samsung/Lenovo/Toshiba/Razer 16:9 Display, with Fabric Keyboard Screen Protector, Bubble Free https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WPSHT4M/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_2YGSB9P9J6B0PKR35A56?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Definitely not "fingerprint proof" but they wipe off easy enough with a microfiber cloth.

i am pretty sure that the s pen is just the tab s7 or tab s7 plus s pen, as it doesn't need to be charged and has interchangeable tips, as my friend has that tablet and they look identical when we had compared the one that came with the laptop and the one with his tablet.

this is the link to the pen, however it is more expensive than i was expecting being 46 pounds

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Pen-Black/dp/B08CPKP7Y5/ref=sr\_1\_4?crid=1GDZ8DQ8IPM5Y&dchild=1&keywords=samsung+s+pen&qid=1635772386&sprefix=samsung+s+pen%2Caps%2C270&sr=8-4

and as for the nibs, which is what the tips are called, you can buy them fairly cheaply on amazon and you get a tool that helps you replace them. i think you can also get different types of nibs, being harder and softer depending on how you like the feel of them

here's the link to the nib replacement kit

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Replacement-Samsung-Tweezer-Verizon-Carriers/dp/B07KPBYKMW

Yeah ended up getting this and it's been awesome:

Wacom One Pen CP91300B2Z for Wacom One Creative Pen Display https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084DVTSC9/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_XVSDVRQ1W8B4V9GSXTPM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah it was a new one for me, too. I bought two to try:

Tecknet

Targus

They’re both good but I slightly preferred the Targus so that’s the one I kept. The only problem is that they’re all USB A so you need an adapter if you’re going to run the fans off the laptop.

https://youtu.be/T6DLlVDLlTw

here's a thorough video about the flex2 alpha. doesn't come with a pen, but Wacom AES pens like this one would work:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081LKC91V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_G57YKYP02YX06AFKA3YE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

There is a seller on Amazon called Decalrus that has a few Pro 360 skins.

Here's one.

ifixit kit? like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Screwdriver-Professional-Computer-Magnetic/dp/B087N6XM56/ref=asc_df_B087N6XM56/ ?

Sorry. I responded with a new comment by accident. That wasn't in relation to your post. I found a TB3 usb c to displayport on Amazon here:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0836FFKGD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_QCFT8DZSXGJYZVXYEJ29?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Seems that this one appeared on amazon that protects the rear and comes with

1 outer Top
1 set of strips to cover the top and bottom of the LCD screen and
1 keymat for the inner trackpad area. But doesn't have a piece for the bottom of the laptop, which I think is fine.

Decalrus - Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 15"

for the 13" they have this one.

Here’s a cord that’s the barrel on one end and usb-c on the other. I may end up buying this too:

ASHATA Power Adapter Cable,Type-C to DC3.0mm1.1mm Notebook Power Cord,Pure Copper Type-C Male to 3.0mm X 1.1mm DC Laptop Adapter Cable for Acer/Samsung/Ultrabook https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y8DSQF8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WHVAN6ZJTW718HCMB4WK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Here’s the adapter: CY USB 3.1 Type C USB-C to DC 20V 3.0x1.1mm Adapter Emulator Trigger 90 Degree Angled (3.0x1.1MM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SMNJQMW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_MZP4FP92YEX7P5PVQMQP

Closing the loop. I upgraded to the new Anker TB4 dock and it works beautifully, driving both 4K screens @ 60Hz. Here's the link if anyone needs it:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0928W3XHD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_8K0GY79CDJZ1T4YA6V4Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The S pen is the exact one from the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+. If your GBP360 is a color, this could be a great time to get one that matches, too. Amazon link to the replacement option.

Uninstalled and went with Bitdefender. Amazon has the Total Security version digital, 5 devices for 2 years on sale for $39.99 - Bitdefender amazon

I used a dual USB-C dock:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B091Q8CN4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_ASME1Z03TBJD2PMA3R63?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

There seems to be a firmware issue with the Thunderbolt port on the Galaxy Book 360 Pro at present that I hope Samsung fixes via a future update so I can use it with my Thunderbolt3 dock instead and a single cable, but this works well enough for now and takes very little space.

I made my own skin using contact paper sheets that you can get from amazon. Honestly I kinda went whole-hog on this and applied the skin to my tablet, keyboard, trackpad, and desktop so it's all the same.
