The laptop can be configured with the Windows 10 Pro operating system.

    The Galaxy Book Go 5G has a chiclet-style tenkeyless keyboard layout and a large trackpad with Windows Precision drivers. In terms of connectivity, the laptop features 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, one USB 2.0 Type-A port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports, a nano-SIM card slot, and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack.
