Samsung Galaxy Book S

The Samsung Galaxy Book S launched in 2020 as one of the thinnest Windows laptops Samsung had built, and it came in two genuinely different hardware flavors: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx version built around always-on LTE and long battery life, and a later Intel Core i5-L16G7 (Lakefield) version aimed at buyers who wanted full x86 app compatibility. Known model numbers include NP767XCM and SM-W767VZAA. It was sold to travelers, students, and anyone who valued portability over raw processing power, and it still holds resale interest thanks to Samsung's build quality and an AMOLED display that's rare on a laptop this size. Pick your processor and condition above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit, and check what other Samsung laptops are worth if you're clearing out a drawer of old devices.

Confirm you have the Samsung Galaxy Book S

The fastest reliable check is inside Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press enter to open System Information, where the "System Model" field lists the exact designation, such as NP767XCM or an SM-W767 variant. If Windows has been reinstalled or won't boot, flip the laptop over and read the model and serial number printed on the bottom panel sticker instead.

NP767XCM

  • Intel Core i5-L16G7 (Lakefield) processor
  • Sold primarily through North American retail channels
  • Wi-Fi-only in most configurations under this prefix

SM-W767VZAA

  • Carrier-branded Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx model
  • Includes a nano-SIM tray for LTE
  • Sold through US carrier channels such as Verizon

NP767 (general prefix)

  • Covers regional variants sold outside carrier channels
  • Check the full suffix for exact processor and market

Prefer a visual check? Look for the fingerprint reader built into the power button, a USB-C port on each side with no USB-A of any kind, and a finish that's either Mercury Gray or Earthy Gold.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx: ARM-based, built for Windows on ARM with LTE and long standby
  • Intel Core i5-L16G7 (Lakefield): a hybrid 5-core chip pairing one Sunny Cove core with four Atom cores for native x86 compatibility
  • The Intel configuration tends to draw more buyer interest, since Windows on ARM still has software gaps

Graphics

  • Qualcomm Adreno 680 integrated graphics on the Snapdragon model
  • Intel UHD Graphics (Gen11) integrated on the Lakefield model
  • Neither is intended for gaming or GPU-heavy work

Memory (RAM)

  • 8GB LPDDR4X across both configurations
  • Soldered to the board, not upgradable after purchase

Storage

  • 256GB UFS storage on the standard configuration
  • A 512GB UFS option exists on some SKUs
  • Soldered/non-removable, so the storage tier at purchase is permanent
  • The larger storage option raises resale value more than any other single spec on this model

Display & audio

Display

A 13.3-inch Full HD (1920x1080) AMOLED touchscreen, a rare panel type for a laptop this size, with deep blacks and strong color saturation compared to the LCD panels most competitors used at the time.

Audio

Stereo speakers tuned by AKG, Samsung's longtime audio partner across the Galaxy Book lineup, paired with dual far-field microphones for calls and voice assistant use.

Security

A fingerprint reader is built into the power button, used for Windows Hello sign-in without a separate IR camera.

Ports & connectivity

Port selection is deliberately minimal on the Galaxy Book S, trading expansion for a thinner chassis.

Wired
  • USB-C (USB 3.1) x2, no USB-A
  • 3.5mm headphone jack
  • microSD card slot
  • Nano-SIM tray on LTE-equipped models
Wireless
  • Wi-Fi (802.11ac)
  • Bluetooth 5.0
  • Optional LTE modem on cellular-equipped SKUs

Battery, build & more

Battery

Long battery life was the entire pitch of this laptop, helped by the fanless, low-power design of both chip options. The Snapdragon version generally holds a runtime edge thanks to ARM's power efficiency and its LTE-standby design.

Dimensions & weight

An ultra-thin, ultra-light chassis was the design goal, built to compete with the thinnest Windows machines on the market at launch.

Finishes

Sold in Mercury Gray and Earthy Gold, both with a brushed metal finish.

Known issues

On the Snapdragon 8cx model, Windows on ARM app compatibility remains the most-cited limitation, since some x86-only software and drivers still won't run natively. The Intel Lakefield version avoids that issue but gives up some of the LTE-standby battery advantage found on cellular Snapdragon units.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press enter to open System Information, then check the "System Model" field for the exact designation, such as NP767XCM or SM-W767VZAA. This also tells you whether you have the Intel or Qualcomm processor, listed under "Processor" in the same window. If the laptop won't boot, the model and serial number are printed on the sticker on the bottom panel instead.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Galaxy Book Flex?
The Galaxy Book Flex is a 360-degree convertible with S Pen support and a QLED display option, and it folds flat into tablet mode. The Galaxy Book S is a fixed clamshell with no stylus support and an AMOLED, not QLED, panel. If your laptop includes a stylus or bends into a tablet, you have a Flex, not a Book S.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes, in most cases. A cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or a unit that won't power on can still be sold, and the condition picker above adjusts the quote for exactly that. Before shipping, sign out of your Microsoft account, disable BitLocker if it's active, and remove any device lock tied to your account, since a laptop still linked to an owner's account can't be resold or refurbished.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Storage tier and processor matter most. A 512GB unit typically draws more interest than a 256GB one, and the Intel Core i5-L16G7 configuration tends to be in slightly higher demand than the Snapdragon 8cx version, since it runs standard x86 software without compatibility concerns. Beyond that, a working fingerprint reader, an undamaged AMOLED display, and the original charger all help. Clean cosmetic condition, free of deep scratches or dents, moves the quote up as well.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything, then confirm. Before or during that process, sign in to account.microsoft.com and remove the device from your Microsoft account, and if BitLocker was ever enabled, suspend or disable it first so the reset completes cleanly. Once the reset finishes and the device is unlinked from your account, it's ready to ship. Shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check.
