Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360
Source: It Pro
The Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 comes close to being the best big-screen laptop we've seen this year. There's nothing much to fault about the screen, the core design or the performance, and its NPU and connectivity should keep it relevant for years to come. Yet the keyboard and general usability aren't quite at the same level, acting as a drag on the overall experience. If you can get used to the off-kilter position and shallow travel, you'll find a serious productivity machine with epic stamina. If not, you might be left wondering how Samsung got so much right, yet missed something so crucial.

We’ve seen a lot of interesting new ultrabooks released in 2024, and while the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 doesn’t traverse much in the way of new ground, it remains an excellent Windows laptop for those after a Windows-based alternative to a MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen and convertible powers. To all intents and purposes, it looks like a MacBook Pro with an aluminium frame and reasonably similar input selection, while its large 16-inch AMOLED panel comes with deep blacks, a responsive touchscreen and seriously accurate colours. In addition, its Intel Lunar Lake chip is also rather beefy, and its recorded battery life is exceptionally close to Apple’s own claims.

I really like the way the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 feels in hand. It’s so thin and reasonably light for a laptop with a spectacular 16-inch OLED display. And it’s also very well-built, and it gets great battery life. There’s a lot to like here. But when you buy such a large laptop, you tend to want more performance. The Galaxy Book5 is fast enough as long as you’re doing typical productivity tasks. But it’s not the gaming and creator’s laptop that many larger machines represent. And the keyboard is really disappointing. For those that really like the idea of a large-format laptop that is still easy to pack around, however, the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 delivers just enough value to make it worthy of recommendation.

In PCWorld’s review of Intel Lunar Lake, we said Intel’s latest hardware delivers “great battery life, mediocre performance, [and] surprisingly decent gaming.” That’s exactly what you’re getting here, along with a very nice laptop body: An absolutely beautiful AMOLED display, a solid chassis with lots of metal, and a 2-in-1 experience with a touch screen plus an S Pen. I just wish the keyboard was a little more comfortable, with some more key travel and a tweaked layout. Still, for many people, this machine is exactly what the doctor ordered: A traditional Intel-powered laptop that can run x86 software with no compatibility concerns, incredibly long battery life, and even more graphics horsepower than you might expect.

Samsung's Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 sells for $1,700 on Samsung's website. I recommend this laptop to professional users who want a well-performing work laptop and who own a Galaxy smartphone so they can access the model's full range of features. Of course, non-Galaxy smartphone owners will still get a lot from this machine. The hardware, battery life, and OLED touchscreen are all top-notch. If you want an alternative, I recommend the Lenovo Yoga 7i Aura Edition. It isn't as large, but it does offer a similar experience at a cheaper price.

Just like last year, the two biggest reasons to pick up Samsung’s hybrid ultraportable are its gorgeous screen and stylus support. Switching to Lunar Lake power has also graced the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 with considerably better battery life, while also upping its AI and graphics muscle. However, it doesn’t make any effort to fix the flaws of the previous generation. There’s still nowhere to properly stow the S Pen while on the move, and the keyboard will absolutely divide opinion. Samsung’s software suite might be extensive, but a lot of it will be lost on you if you don’t own a Galaxy smartphone, and desktop performance hasn’t really improved enough to justify an upgrade from the previous generation.

Our performance and gaming testing still needs to be completed with the US version of the Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360, so we’re not scoring it yet, but if you’re willing to take the chance, there is plenty to recommend this laptop outside of its performance, from the gorgeous AMOLED display to the impressive 14 hours of battery life. While we don’t expect much to change with the US model of the Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 compared to the global configuration sent to Laptop Mag, many of our performance benchmarks are impacted by memory capacity and RAM speed. The general and gaming performance seems solid, but lower memory capacity can impact performance across the board, so until we get those final benchmarks in, this will remain our hands-on impressions of the Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360.

Reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 laptop after a week of gaming, editing and sitting around gawping at the gorgeous 3K AMOLED screen. If you're after a portable-ish media monster of a notebook, the Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 is a cracker - with a stylus for creative tasks chucked in.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Core Ultra 7 256V: An upper mid-range Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 4.8 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 16 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It essentially matches the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-thread performance and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
16.00":
15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
