The Galaxy Book 5 Pro is a solid laptop with plenty to recommend, but there are just a few too many weaknesses for a laptop at its price point. There’s no question that the Samsung name carries some weight, and if you are deep in the Samsung ecosystem, that changes your value proposition, but for most people, there are better alternatives. This is partly due to the highs for the Book 5 Pro not being sufficient to tip back the scales against its negatives. The display is bright and vivid, but not overwhelmingly, with options like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x beating it on both counts for much less. Twelve hours and twenty-five minutes of battery life is enough, but not near the top of the charts in 2025, where numerous laptops go to 15 hours and beyond.

The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro is a great laptop, just like the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is. It combines great build quality with a beautiful 16-inch display and a power-sipping Intel Lunar Lake processor. Lunar Lake is still a sticking point: Some people will want more top-end CPU performance for multithreaded CPU tasks, and Lunar Lake can’t deliver that. Aside from that, the main concern is the price. This is a fairly premium laptop experience overall, but the retail price of $1,649 is still on the high side for a laptop. More importantly, the 360 model is only $50 more at $1,699 and it includes a 360-degree hinge as a well as a bundled S Pen. For an extra $50, it’s hard to argue with that value.

The Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro exemplifies what makes the company’s laptops desirable. Though I’m not a fan of all the Samsung apps and the AI features aren’t impressive, this notebook shines thanks to its ultraportable design, strong performance and battery life and fantastic 16-inch OLED. If you're willing to spend $100 more, the MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 ($1,599) is a solid alternative to the Galaxy Book 5 Pro for those seeking faster performance and brighter display.

This 16-inch laptop can happily handle photo and video editing, as well as some light gaming. AAA games like Indiana Jones certainly aren't happy, but older or less demanding titles are handled well by the Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro. Sure, this slender laptop doesn't exactly count as ultraportable as it's 16 inches, but the portability is enhanced by that excellent battery life. The Samsung Book 5 Pro is just as good as the 360 model in that department, so you can play all day on a single charge. Although recharging isn't as great.

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.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
