Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Series: Price, Features and More

Along with its latest smartphones, Samsung announced its latest Galaxy Book 3 series, which includes the Book 3 Pro, Book 3 Pro 360, and Book 3 Ultra.

For those unfamiliar with Samsung’s naming conventions, the Book 3 Ultra will be the most powerful of the bunch.

If you’re used to the Galaxy Book 2 series, Samsung switched up the tiers a little but the idea remains the same. If you want a traditional laptop, the Book 3 Pro is the way to go. If you’re looking for a 2-in-1 laptop, the Book 3 Pro 360 will fill that role.

Lastly, if you’re looking for top-of-the-line specs, that’s the Book 3 Ultra. Samsung didn’t change up its clean, minimalistic look for its Galaxy Books, but each of the refreshed laptops does offer upgraded specs.

1. The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra

Carrying the coveted Ultra name, the Book 3 Ultra is built for the power users. Samsung wants its Ultra laptop to be able to handle whatever creative project or graphics-intensive game you throw at it.

Unlike the others in the Galaxy Book 3 series, the Book 3 Ultra will only be available in a single Graphite color option.

Book 3 Ultra Specs

• CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i7 / i9
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop / 4070 Laptop
• RAM: 16GB / 32GB
• SSD: 512GB / 1TB
• Display: 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with 3K resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, and 120Hz refresh rate
• Ports: two Thunderbolt 4 ports, USB-A port, HDMI 2.0 port, headphone/mic jack

2. The Samsung BOOK 3 PRO 360

While not as powerful as the Ultra option, the Book 3 Pro 360 is the more flexible option. This is because the Book 3 Pro does double duty as a tablet, the 16-inch touchscreen display is also S-Pen-compatible.

You also get a little more customization in colors since the Book 3 Pro 360 comes in graphite and beige.

Book 3 Pro 360 Specs

• CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i5 / i7
• GPU: Intel Iris Xe graphics
• RAM: 8GB / 16GB / 32GB
• SSD: 256GB / 512GB / 1TB
• Display: 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with 3K resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, and 120Hz refresh rate
• Ports: two Thunderbolt 4 ports, USB-A port, HDMI 1.4 port, headphone/mic jack, microSD slot, nano-SIM slot

3. The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro

If you’re not in the market for high-end specs or a 2-in-1 style laptop, the Book 3 Pro may be your best option. It doesn’t have the latest mobile chips but is more than capable as a personal or work laptop.

The Book 3 Pro also comes in a 14-inch and 16-inch form factor, in both graphite and beige colorways.

Book 3 Pro Specs

• CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i5 / i7
• GPU: Intel Iris Xe graphics
• RAM: 8GB / 16GB / 32GB
• SSD: 256GB / 512GB / 1TB
• Display: 14-inch / 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with 3K resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, and 120Hz refresh rate
• Ports: two Thunderbolt 4 ports, USB-A port, HDMI 1.4 port, headphone/mic jack, microSD slot

Additional Specs

All three of the laptops take advantage of Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that we see in Galaxy smartphones with 3K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The new Galaxy Books also have a quad-speaker system, AI noise canceling for their microphone, 1080p webcams, and a Studio Mode that auto-corrects lighting, framing, eye contact, and backgrounds.

All three laptops come with Windows 11, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth v5.1 compatibility, fingerprint sensors under the power key, and charge via USB-C cables.
