It feels a little like a gel ink pen on the Galaxy Book. Still, it's as useful as a stylus can be.

Get too enthusiastic with your on-screen taps, or try to balance the whole assembly on your lap, and I found the Galaxy Book had a tendency to slip back. I much prefer the kick-stand design Microsoft uses, or indeed that of HP Spectre x2 series. They also have the benefit of allowing you to stand up the tablet alone, even if it's detached from the keyboard.

Samsung Galaxy Book 12 Review: A premium 2-in-1 with a price to match. Well-constructed and quietly stylish. Super AMOLED screen is superb. S Pen is great for digital artists. Impressive performance from Core i5.

LTE option only comes with 4GB of RAM. Very expensive. Stand design can be frustrating. You wait for one premium 2-in-1 Windows 10 hybrid. Promising the latest in digital S Pen technology plus more processing power than you might expect from such a skinny slate.

Top 5 Best Windows 2-in-1 Hybrid PCs: 12-inch do it all tablets. ASUS Transformer 3 Pro T303UA 2-in-1 Hybrid – STYLUS OPTIONAL.
