#Samsung’s New Galaxy Book Pro Laptops Are Available for Preorder – Review Geek

During its live Unpacked event, Samsung announced the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360, two high-end laptops with 11th Gen Intel Core processors, optional 5G support (at a later date), and a “smartphone-inspired” design (they’re thin). The 2-in-1 Galaxy Book Pro 360 also offers S-Pen support, much like Galaxy Note phones and tablets.

The new Galaxy Book Pro lineup resembles Microsoft’s Surface computers, with slim form factors and large displays. But they also offer Thunderbolt 4 support and several other features not found in Surface products. And of course, the Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 integrate perfectly with Samsung’s phones, tablets, and earbuds, offering a connected experience that doesn’t exist on other Windows computers. You can even use Samsung’s Smart Switch technology to migrate data from your old PC to a Galaxy Book Pro—an amazing feature for a Windows computer.

The high-end Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 feature large trackpads, AMOLED displays, and the “best Samsung keyboard” to date. For remote work, the new laptops also feature 720p cameras and dual-array mics with intelligent noise cancellation. Now let’s get into the specifics.

Galaxy Book Pro ($999)

Samsung’s new Galaxy Book Pro is an upgraded version of the entry-level Galaxy Book. It’s a powerful alternative to the Dell XPS and Microsoft Surface lineup. Of course, the Galaxy Book Pro’s integration with other Samsung products for app, photos, and notes syncing make it the perfect high-end laptop for dedicated Samsung users.
