Don’t know about you, but I was a little sad when I found out a few years ago that Samsung weren’t making laptops for the UK anymore. My Samsung NP-R510 had served me so well (despite the things I did to it haha!) – and the lack of Samsung laptops over on these shores was the reason I put off upgrading as long as I did. I was thrilled to learn that Samsung laptops would be making a return though. The Galaxy Book Flex2 5G looks to be a great 2-in-1 addition to the lineup.
