Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 13
is the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 13 with up to 31 hours on battery power. The 3-in-1 laptop weighing just over one kilogram (~2.2 lb) is also well equipped. However, the developers had to make some restrictions in terms of cooling for the slim design.

The Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G is less like a traditional laptop and more like a convertible, connected tablet. Sure, it's not as light as or as thin as a traditional tablet like the Surface Pro 8 nor is it as powerful as a more traditional clamshell. But if you like it offers, you might consider the 15-inch Galaxy Book Pro that we separately reviewed. In fact, you might consider this review as a jumping-off point for what you'd really like in a laptop. More performance? Well, inevitable discounts might spur you to buy the Core i7 version of this machine. However, performance should only increase rather marginally. Other business notebooks offer competitive features and they're worth a look. Our review, though, probably underscores what makes this laptop a must buy for a certain niche. At a little over US$1,200 and with the possibility of more discounts to come, this convertible is both lightweight and connected. Samsung's OLED screens are simply lovely for watching videos upon and the 360-convertible form factor does allow for a tablet-like experience in this new era of Android apps on Windows.

As for whether or not you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G, you can probably guess the answer. It’s a hard yes. This is one of my favorite laptops that I’ve used in a long time. One suggestion would be to pay the extra $200 for the Core i7 model with 16GB RAM, as the extra memory can be useful. Like any laptop, it’s not perfect. It’s still got a 720p webcam, which is probably its biggest downside. Also, the battery life isn’t anything to write home about, although that can be forgiven given the form factor. It’s also frustrating that there’s no place to store the pen, making it easy to lose. But let’s talk about the good, because there’s so much at a reasonable price of $1,399.99. Performance is great, and that comes in a slim and light form factor that’s easy to carry around. You get 5G connectivity, and as I mentioned earlier, that has to be a thing that you really want. But my favorite is the beautiful OLED display. It’s FHD, so it doesn’t suck down battery life like a 4K screen would. It’s so visually pleasing to use, so when you’re working, it just feels good.

Archive.org versionIn many ways, it’s easy to like the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G. It’s very light and slim, build quality is excellent and the quality of its display is second to none. On the other hand, it isn’t particularly fast, battery life is middling and, with a price that’s higher than that of most of its rivals, you’re going to need a pretty compelling reason to stump up the extra cash for 5G cellular connectivity. Overall, it’s a very attractive laptop but there are a few too many compromises for it to warrant a wholehearted recommendation.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G manages to side-step many of the issues we've raised in some Samsung laptops of the last couple of years. It's one of the best Samsung models in recent memory. However, its keyboard is still a little shallow and Samsung OLED panels need higher pixel density to give them the impact their contrast and colour deserve. Above all else, though, you can't complain about the portability. The Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G is light, tidy, offers all-day battery life, a solid build, and that all-important super-fast connectivity - which is what you're paying for.

Archive.org versionSimply put, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 is one of the best lightweight laptops out there right now. It not only impressed with its sleek, slim design but it also packs in plenty of extra features. It won’t be suited to absolutely everyone though. Gamers won’t get the power they need from it, and creative professionals may find the aspect ratio of the screen frustrating. But for anyone who needs a versatile everyday workhorse, or a laptop to stream TV, movies and YouTube videos on - the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 is an excellent choice, especially if you’ve already bought into the Galaxy ecosystem.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 is a new 2-in-1 laptop that can double up as a tablet whenever required. Its light and thin design makes it ideal for tablet use, while the Super AMOLED screen provides a big visual boost for video content. However, the lack of an S-Pen slot is an odd omission, while questions still remain over its performance and battery life. Keep an eye on Trusted Reviews for our upcoming review and final verdict.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
