The Pro family from the Galaxy Book 3 series is equipped with Intel Core “Raptor Lake” P chips, so it also uses the latest generation. In this case, however, in the form of the 28-watt variants, which come with four performance and eight efficiency cores and clock rates of up to 5.0 gigahertz (maximum turbo clock).
Chic things: Samsung’s Galaxy Book 3 Pro series is always in light aluminum housings
The Galaxy Book 3 Pro is available with a 14 or 16 inch screen, which is always an OLED panel with an enormous 2880×1800 pixel resolution in 16:10 format, which achieves a brightness of up to 400 candela and a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hertz for the most fluid display possible.
The Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 is basically a 2-in-1 variant of the 16-inch model with a folding display and touchscreen that includes S Pen support. Aside from the stylus and touchscreen, the device is essentially identical, although it weighs a few hundred grams more due to the flip-up display construction.
In addition to the new Intel chips, eight or 16 gigabytes of LPDDR5-based RAM and a 512 gigabyte or even one terabyte PCIe 4.0 SSD are always installed. Other features include WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, a full HD webcam, four AKG-tuned speakers and Dolby Atmos support.
Samsung doesn’t skimp on the ports either, because two Thunderbolt 4-capable USB-C ports, one HDMI and one full-size USB-A port, a MicroSD card reader and a 3.5mm jack plug are installed. This is to be welcomed in view of the policy of other manufacturers who are ditching more and more ports from their laptops.
Even with the Galaxy Book 3 Pro…
…there is a good port selection
the batteries can also be seen despite the comparatively low weight of the devices. The 14-inch model of the Galaxy Book 3 Pro weighs only 1.17 kilograms and still has a 63-watt-hour battery in its aluminum housing, while the 16-inch models even have a 76-Wh battery is installed. Samsung therefore promises runtimes of up to 16 or 18 hours, even if this is only achieved in the rarest of cases. All models come with a 65-watt power adapter with a USB-C port.
Unfortunately, Samsung also charges a princely fee for the new ultrabooks in the Galaxy Book 3 Pro series: you have to shell out at least 1749 euros for the 14-inch model, while the two larger versions are said to cost at least 1949 euros each. If you want more memory, the prices rise rapidly, although it should be borne in mind that the main memory is likely to be soldered here.
