What you should know
The Galaxy Book Pro comes in 13.3in and 15.6in sizes, with both Oled TVs, which usually means you’ll have to pay more. The price levels, even so, are quite reasonable, with the smaller model starting at £1,099 (Intel Core i5-1135G7, 8GRAM, 512GB storage) and the 15.6in variant expense £1,199
It costs £1,449 for a 15.6in display and an Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor, and there’s also a prototype with such a 4G modem, a 13.3in screen, and a Core i5 processor, but only 256Gb internal memory (all the other models have 512GB). The latter will cost you £1,099. For this review, I received the 15.6in the Core i7 model.
Price and Rivalry
The Razer Book 13 is a favorite among the closest competitors. Given, that this only comes with a 13.4 inches screen and, at £1,680 for the Core i7 non-touchscreen prototype, it’s not exactly cheap. It is, even so, portable, strong, good-looking, and highly capable.
The Dell XPS 13 is a crowd favorite, with top-notch quality of construction that belies its 1.2kg weight, despite having the same 13.4 screen as the Razer. Some may find the fact that there are only two Type-C ports to be somewhat limiting, but at the time of the writing, the edition with a UHD touch interface was available for £1,109, which is amazing value.
And the Galaxy Book Pro’s weight is the first thing you notice. It’s extremely light: 1.05kg is not much for a 15.6in laptop. It’s even more lightweight than that of the 16in LG Gram, which already tips the scales in at 1.16kg.
No concept of what Samsung did it. Perhaps the battery and other heavy elements are located in a parallel universe and thus do not sign up just on weights.
You could also be forgiven for believing that you can’t alter the internal components. Not so. Delete the rubber feet and the screwdrivers they hide, then unclip the bottom panel and install an M.2 2280 PCI-E SSD. You can also replace the 512GB 2230 SSD if necessary.
Keyboard, touchpad, and software
With so little room to work with, it’s no shock that the computer has a shallow activity. On the bright side, it’s very optimistic and quiet, and it’s real joy to write on, and the fingerprint reader integrated into the power switch works just as well. The keyboard does have a three-level backlight and an atmospheric detector that can automatically adapt this same brightness of the backlight.
Can’t think of anything negative to say about the large 130 x 90mm trackpad that sits beneath the keyboard. The win, action, size, and place are all near-perfect.
Audio And Video
When you first see the Galaxy Book Pro’s lavish Amoled screen, you understand you’re going to look at something that isn’t regular.
Its 1,920 x 1,080 141dpi 60Hz panel lacks the sharpness found on laptops with 1440p or 4K displays. It’s also not the smartest laptop screen you’ll ever see. It has a maximum brightness of 308cd/m2, which means it may struggle in direct sunlight, particularly since the finish is shiny instead of matte.
