While emulation may need a bit more work to offer full compatibility, it is there as an option and you have a growing library of ARM compelled apps. This is, after all, a Windows 10 machine, which means you have access to the Windows 10 library. It’s in the same price point as many of the popular Chromebooks but Samung is able to offer more. The Galaxy Book Go is challenging the Chromebook. Emulation may be slower but the Edge browser, which runs natively under ARM, should handle the demands of cloud computing and progressive web apps with as much style and grace as a Chromebook. I’m curious to see how this impacts the Book Go, given the Pro X uses a variant of Qualcomm's 8cx. Just like the SnapDragon series of processors, the 7 series balances out power and performance. The second is the use of Qualcom’s 7c Gen 2 processor. This makes it far more affordable, increasing the potential audience. At $349 in the US, the Book Go is a lot cheaper than the Surface Pro (and as a laptop it automatically comes with a keyboard - it’s an optional extra on the ProX). Two things stand out for me on the Galaxy Book Go (apart from its use of Windows 10 on ARM). I wanted to set the scene, because Samsung’s entry into this space is both a vote of confidence and an accelerant in the process.
