If you want a touchscreen or plan to use a stylus (an S Pen, of course), this is the one to get. It comes in 13.3” and 15.6” versions, but the Super AMOLED display supports both touch and stylus input. They have the same 1080p resolution (16:9) and DisplayHDR 500 certification (i.e. 500 nits brightness). The S Pen is included in the box, by the way.
The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro360 13.3” also
offers optional 5G connectivity, the 15.6” one again misses out. Both are Wi-Fi
6E Ready. For wired connections you get a Thunderbolt 4 port, two USB-C ports,
a 3.5 mm headphone/microphone jack and a microSD slot. The 5G laptops have a
nano-SIM slot too. Like the other Pro, these are powered by Intel Core i3, i5
and i7 11th gen processors. The i5 and i7 options have Iris Xe graphics,
there’s no option for an Nvidia MX450 here. The 13.3” model can be configured
with 8GB or 16GB of RAM, the larger 15.6” model also offers a 32GB option. NVMe
SSD storage goes up to 1TB.
The batteries are the same, 63Wh on the
small one and 65Wh on the large one, both charged over USB-C at 65W. The AKG
audio with Dolby Atmos, 720p webcam and fingerprint reader are available here
too. The 13.3” model weighs 1.04kg for the Wi-Fi model and 1.1kg for the 5G
option, the 15.6” one is 1.39kg. The thickness is about
the same on both, 11.5mm for the small laptop and 11.7mm for the large one.
Both Galaxy Book models are MIL-STD-810G
rated, with tests for low and high pressure, vibration, dust humidity and even
salt spray. Also, these two are part of the Intel Evo program, a mark of
quality that also includes features like instant wake, “best-in-class”
connectivity and long battery life. Starting today you can pre-order a Galaxy
