The Galaxy Book Flex 5G also received Intel’s new Evo platform verification. This means the laptop meets “key experience indicators” required by Intel to deliver the best possible mobile performance. These include consistent responsiveness whether or not it’s plugged in; the ability to wake from sleep in under 1 second; to hit at least nine hours of real-world battery life; and get up to a four-hour charge in less than 30 minutes.
