| Best Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 Review |
hey everyone Fahad Butt here and it's time to take a look at the new galaxy book pro 360 from samsung 360 because it is a two in one flips over just like a tablet and also includes as you can tell it is magnetically connected the s pen up at the top samsung did send this review unit over for us to check out.
this is the 15.6 inch model and i have to say this is probably the lightest 15-inch laptop i have ever used which is pretty impressive considering the specs that are inside now i want to take a full look at the galaxy book pro 360 talk about my experiences with this laptop.
*Galaxy Book
*Galaxy Book Ultra
*Galaxy Book Pro
so let's get started i'd also like to preface this video there is a galaxy book pro model that doesn't have the two in one features or the s pen so it doesn't turn into a tablet if you're interested in that style so i can link to that down below,
but i also want to mention that samsung has been doing a very good job specifically with these models in bridging the gap in building an ecosystem around a laptop pc and your phone specifically if you have a samsung phone or potentially even an android phone.
now windows has done a good job at starting to build that ecosystem so to speak obviously apple's done a good job within their mac os and ios platforms but samsung is also kind of putting their foot into building an ecosystem around their own laptops.
Capabilities From Their Phones
also adding capabilities from their phones to these laptops anyways i want to get started with the design of the galaxy book pro 360. first off that navy color is great. i'm a huge fan it's very sleek very professional looking the only thing is that it does collect fingerprints fairly easily.
so that's a bit of a bummer and when it comes to design of it. it is incredible. it's such a good looking laptop overall the hinge is really good. i do have a bit of a gripe about the hinge specifically when you go to pick up the laptop off a table it's just a little bit.
too loose which was an issue in one of their previous laptops as well this one isn't as bad but when you go to pick it up you'll see it's not even you have to pick it up that hard it does start to flip down just with any sort of force.

it flips even if it just flips like this is if i go to pick it up and i want to bring it with me somewhere to another room i essentially need to keep in mind oh don't pick it up so quickly you kind of have to do it a little bit more lightly,
but it will flip on you along the left side you have two usb type c slots on the right side is an extra usb type c slot i would have liked to have seen a usb type a port however they also added a micro sd card slot for some expandable storage and that headphone jack,
like i mentioned there are some magnets in the s pen and up towards the top of the galaxy book pro for storage and quick storage i haven't really had an issue with it falling off whatsoever it really has just not come off of it obviously if i bump into it or slide against it.
it's going to come off it's been easy to grasp at it took a bit to kind of get used to the motion of grabbing it from the top especially if i needed to just take it off while i was using it like a normal laptop with that being said i know a lot of people said hey i wish there was a place to house.
the pen when i'm done with it when i want to store it but when you take a look at the laptop itself the the s pen is just thicker than the bottom half of the galaxy book pro in general so that's essentially impossible and i like the size and feel of this s pen i wouldn't necessarily want a for example galaxy note style s pen.
where it's smaller but it does get housed into the phone i like especially with a bigger screen that is more pen like it is more like i'm actually writing so i'm actually totally okay with them adding in a magnetic mechanism to store the s pen,
then when i put it in a backpack i'll just put it in the pen slot now let's talk about one of my favorite features of the galaxy book pro 360 and that is the display now it is a 1080p display however it is super amoled.
Samsung Amoled Technology
so it's amoled technology but samsung is calling it the super amoled because it has the touch capabilities built into the display you might be familiar with super amoled from samsung phones and i actually am a big fan of having amoled displays on laptops.
i really hope more and more laptops do get amoled displays the color reproduction is fantastic obviously you get true blacks on your screen so unfortunately there isn't a 4k option for the display on this laptop it only comes in 1080p which is a downside for some people,
that will help with battery life not having a 4k resolution monitor but as a 1080p amoled display it is excellent the touchscreen is very responsive the only small thing i would like to have seen improved was it to get.
a little bit brighter especially when i'm outside it gets bright enough but it doesn't get crazy bright like some other laptops i've used but overall the bezels are very minimal it's great to look at and use while in tablet mode or potentially watching videos.
