Thunderbolt 4 allows for faster data transfer rates with external storage and improved display support compared to standard USB-C. On the left side you’ll find the lone Thunderbolt 4 port next to a USB-C port. There are a handful of ports on the Pro 360. It all comes down to personal preference, but we’re loving the look and feel of the Galaxy Book Pro 360. It’s somewhat similar to Microsoft’s Surface Laptops, but what sets the Galaxy Book apart is the rounded edges and corners instead of the squared-off design that Microsoft uses.

The Galaxy Book Pro 360 is just under a half an inch thick the thin silhouette gives it a premium design. In comparison, the current MacBook Air and its 13-inch display weighs 2.8 pounds. The larger display gets you a laptop that weighs 3.06 pounds, while the smaller design gets you down to 2.3 pounds.


We tested out the 15.6-inch model, but you can get it with a 13-inch display if you want to go the ultra-portable route. When we first unboxed the Pro 360 and picked it up, it reminded us of the old Apple MacBook Air commercial where the laptop is placed inside a large envelope, indicating just how slim it is. The Pro 360 is attractively thin and light, almost deceivingly so. Its 2-in-1 performance keeps up with the Surface Pro 7, albeit with a bigger, brighter display.Īs we talked about during our hands-on with the Pro and Pro 360, the Galaxy Book’s design is impressive. How it compares: The Galaxy Book Pro 360 reminds us a lot of the Surface Laptop 4, only without facial recognition and slightly more refined design. You can get them in a unique Mystic Bronze or Mystic Blue color, with up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of memory. What you need to know: Samsung’s latest laptop comes in 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch configurations, both of which are powered by an Intel Core 7 processor. It’s especially attractive for those who are deeply invested in Samsung’s ecosystem, and even comes with an S Pen stylus. Who it’s for: The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 is for someone who wants a portable laptop with respectable battery life and performance. From deep tie-ins with Samsung’s ecosystem to a svelte look, there’s a lot to like here. And with one exception, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time testing Samsung’s latest laptop. We’ve spent the last week testing the Pro 360, which comes in Mystic Bronze and Mystic Navy color options (we have the former and it looks sharp). You can order the 2-in-1 Galaxy Pro 360 that starts at a respectable $1,199 for the 13.3-inch model, or $1,299 for the 15.6-inch model from Samsung right now. The new Samsung Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360 are designed for those who are constantly on the go, with ultra-thin housings, long battery life and performance to match.
