Samsung’s Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G should appeal to a niche buyer searching for a connected, tablet-like PC with an excellent screen and battery life. Otherwise, you’ll probably find better options elsewhere.

No 4K screen option ; Uncomfortable keyboard

With a Super AMOLED touch screen, a 360-degree hinge, an 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, and unique software features, the Galaxy Book Pro 360 is the sleekest 15-inch 2-in-1 convertible notebook out there.

Quite light ; OLED screen ; Long battery life

16:9 ; Screen wobble ; No stylus garage

Samsung’s new Galaxy Book Pro 360 is an excellent 2-in-1 from Samsung. It’s one of the lightest 15-inch laptops you can buy, with an OLED screen and excellent battery life.

- Too much software preinstalled ; - Display could be brighter ; - Lackluster webcam ; - Pricey

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G is a utility player with plenty of connectivity and input options that lasts long on a charge, but Samsung needs to lay off on the preinstalled software and go with a brighter screen.
