Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro: Exactly What We Anticipated

What can we anticipate from Samsung’s new professional laptop?

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro, if it does make its debut at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1st, will set a new standard for the company’s professional-grade ultraportable.

This is entirely consistent with Samsung’s business plan of recent years since the company has historically introduced a new line of laptops in the Galaxy Book series during the first quarter of each year. A convertible 2-in-1 variant like the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360, one of the greatest 2-in-1 laptops of 2022, may be found in addition to the standard Galaxy Book, the Pro model, and the basic model.

The Galaxy Book 3 Ultra is a new model that is rumored to be introduced at Samsung Unpacked this year. This “Ultra” model is probably just a more expensive Galaxy Book that otherwise looks like the other Galaxy Books that we anticipate will also be shown at the same time, including the Galaxy Book 3 Pro.

The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro will probably resemble its predecessor, the Book 2 Pro (seen above), in terms of appearance, but we anticipate some big improvements in terms of hardware. Here is what we currently know.

Pricing And Availability Rumors About The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro

Samsung has yet to officially announce the price of the Galaxy Book 3 Pro, which is to be anticipated. However, based on how previous models were priced, we can make a very educated judgment.

It is quite likely that a Galaxy Book 3 Pro will be in the same price range as the first Galaxy Book Pro, which had a beginning price of $999, and its sequel, the Galaxy Book 2 Pro, which had a starting price of $1,049 Samsung had better include some appealing enhancements if it costs more than $1,099 to start.

We anticipate that the Galaxy Book 3 Pro will come in two sizes: 13.5 inches and 15.6 inches, much like its predecessors. The bigger size normally costs $100 extra and refers to the display size. Additionally, there are frequent discounts and other incentives to persuade you to trade in your old Samsung equipment or to buy new equipment in addition to the opportunity to enhance the RAM and storage for an extra fee.

Design And Display Of The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro

With the Galaxy Book Pro computers, Samsung has consistently kept things straightforward and polished, and we anticipate the Galaxy Book 3 Pro to follow suit.

First and foremost, as its predecessors were as svelte as the 0.44-inch-thin MacBook Air 2022, we anticipate that such a laptop will be very tiny. With a straightforward clamshell design that won’t appear out of place in a coffee shop, it will also likely be strong and lightweight (previous Galaxy Book Pros were as little as two pounds light).

We have always been pleased by the striking AMOLED touchscreens on Samsung’s Galaxy Book computers, and we anticipate that the Galaxy Book 3 Pro will include a touchscreen that is at least as impressive as those earlier models.

Ports On The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro

Don’t get your hopes up that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro will have a ton of ports if you’re thrilled about its possibilities.

Samsung normally only provides a small number of connectors for these laptops, but the Book 2 Pro 360 from last year has two USB-C ports, a Thunderbolt 4 port, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone socket. A similar structure is anticipated for this year’s new Galaxy Books.

 

Performance Of The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro

One of Samsung’s fastest laptops in the past has been the Galaxy Book Pro, but it’s designed for business rather than pleasure and can’t be customized with a separate GPU. Now that the business is apparently going to release a Galaxy Book Ultra that you can purchase with a discrete Nvidia GPU if you want a candidate for a position on our best gaming laptops list, that doesn’t appear likely to alter in 2023.

Given this, we anticipate a possible Galaxy Book 3 Pro to maintain its focus on productivity while utilizing the full capability of the upcoming Intel Raptor Lake 13th Gen CPUs. The Galaxy Book 3 Pro might apparently achieve new levels of performance thanks to these chips, which are said to be quicker and more energy-efficient than any Intel laptop CPUs we’ve seen yet.

Battery Life Of The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro.

Since Samsung’s Galaxy Books have typically performed admirably in our in-house battery test, which involves subjecting a laptop to endless Wi-Fi web browsing (while setting its screen to a specific brightness) until it runs out of power, we have high hopes for the battery life of a potential Galaxy Book 3 Pro.

Although we haven’t tested a Galaxy Book Pro yet, the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 we evaluated last year had a battery life of about 12 hours. Even though the original Galaxy Book Pro 360’s battery life in the same test was 13.5 hours longer, it was still excellent enough to make our list of the laptops with the longest battery life. Anything over 12 hours is considered to be top-tier laptop battery performance.

It goes without saying that Intel has apparently improved the power efficiency of its most recent generation of laptop CPUs, so maybe the new Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro will be able to survive longer than the 12–14 hours its predecessors were able to.

 

Outlook On The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro

We have great expectations that Samsung will amaze us with a new Galaxy Book 3 Pro because its Galaxy Book computers have improved in modest but major ways over the previous few years.

The Galaxy Book Pro laptops have generally been reliable ultraportables that are simple to carry and powerful enough for daily work, even though their design has kept them a little out of the spotlight compared to their flashier morphing brothers. It’s worth getting excited about a new Galaxy Book Pro 3 if you’re already a part of Samsung’s device ecosystem and are looking for a new laptop since it might establish a new benchmark for productivity in the Galaxy Book lineup.
