From now until March 21, Peloton has increased its home trial period from 30 days to 100 days for its Bike (which we recommend), Bike+ and Tread, with delivery and setup included. Samsung has also announced the Galaxy Book2 Pro and the 2-in-1 touchscreen Book2Pro 360. Among other features, the Galaxy Book2 Pro will have 5G connectivity and the Book2 Pro 360 will come with S Pen functionality. Both devices will be available for preorder on March 18 and officially launch on April 1.
