Samsung’s big event yesterday had nothing to do with phones – for once. However, it was still the Galaxy family, with the company unveiling a selection of new Galaxy Book laptops.
To begin with, both Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 (starting at $ 999 and $ 1199) feature vivid AMOLED displays – something Samsung’s phones are known for – inside thin, light bodies. The cool part is that you can easily switch between four color spectra including Adobe RGB and DCI-P3. It’s a smart feature for anyone looking to balance vivid colors with color accuracy when editing photos or videos. The clamshell and convertible (with touchscreen) laptops will each be available in 13 and 15-inch sizes. Interestingly, and despite its size, the 13-inch Book Pro 360 also manages to accommodate a 5G radio, making it Samsung’s first 5G PC. Expect to see a WiFi model first though. Samsung plans to launch the Pro family on May 14.
The company also revealed a cheaper model: the Galaxy Book (starting at $ 800) has an LCD display and is heading to the United States later this year. To complete the collection, the Galaxy Book Odyssey is the first laptop to feature NVIDIA’s new RTX 3050 Ti Max-Q GPU.
