Samsung Galaxy Book S

Question

Hello, I'm currently looking into purchasing a new computer for After Effects and I've had my eye on the Samsung Galaxy Book S, I've talked to a Microsoft employee about this and they told me the computer would work fine for the program. Although to make myself feel better about the purchase, I'm wanting extra advice.

Honest answer: Unless you want to impress your peers at college, get a standard notebook from another manufacturer like Dell or Lenovo. Given the limitations in expandability, connectivity or basic things like thermal design (it will likely throttle itself a lot and degrade performance) these slim notebooks won't be fun to use. And even if you go that route, you'd have to outfit it with the largest possible SSD drive in the first place. The default 256 GB may be sufficient for basic office and that, but working with footage will require much more storage, especially due to AE's caching mechanisms and temp files.
