Samsung’s Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G shouldn’t be considered by those looking for a general-purpose PC. But for someone who lives at a coffee shop, tapping out email, sneaking in a Netflix video, and shuttling back and forth? Keep reading.
This device is a tablet in laptop’s clothing, with a 5G connection and fabulous battery life that many of its competitors lack. Performance lags in places, though you’ll probably forget all about that while viewing the gorgeous OLED screen.
Keep in mind that this particular device is nearly a generation old. It’s still worth considering, as really only the 11th-gen processor lags behind the state-of-the-art 12th-gen Core hardware found within the Galaxy Book2 laptops Samsung recently announced. Still, view this device with a predator’s eye (aka watch for retailers who may be clearing out older inventory). If you’re the specific sort of customer who finds this review appealing, then snap it up.
BASIC FEATURES
We’re reviewing the Galaxy Pro 360 5G, a specialized 360-degree convertible that ships only with a 13.3-inch display option, the Mystic Silver colour scheme, and the integrated 5G radio. It ships in one of two configurations: one with a Core i5-1130G7 for £1,349 or a more expensive £1,499 version with a Core i7-1160G7. (The Core i7 model also offers more memory (16GB RAM) as well as a larger SSD option (up to 512GB).
Both models ship with Samsung’s include S Pen for inking, which saves some money, though there’s no builtin holster. Otherwise, the unit we’re reviewing requires purchasing a USB-C hub to connect to devices with a legacy USB-A connector.
Samsung has numerous other options within its Galaxy Book lineup from which to choose, though the differences may be confusing.
