Can the Samsung Galaxy book still operate as a tablet using Google Play apps?

[Bigjimmy82]

I'm interested in purchasing a Samsung Galaxy book as my new lightweight College laptop / tablet. I was wondering since it is basically a Windows 10 operated laptop does it have a tablet mode so I can still function with Google Play and mobile apps? Any help would be appreciated in solving this dilemma for me

No. The Tablet mode in Windows laptops still run Windows, not Android. Hence it won't work with Google Play.

I only just read this, so now I know why my samsung book won't do the same as my samsung tabS which I thought (wrongly) would replace my loved by rather old tablet. damn, wasted my money.

Welcome to Android Central! Sorry about that -- is it too late to return the tablet? I agree that calling this a "Galaxy" device is kind of misleading, since most people equate Galaxy with Android. The only other Galaxy devices I can think of that aren't Android are their smartwatch line (which run Tizen), but those are intended to work with Android devices.
