An aluminum design that has become fashionable and is reminiscent of the competition made In Apple, with the same desire to put power to it. Samsung is once again attacking the French computer market with a new range, the Galaxy Book3.
To give himself the means to compete with the MacBook Air that the South Korean clearly has in his sights, the latter has put all the assets on his side. As for the design, silver, sand or anthracite, we find metallic lines in tune with the times, with a very wide touchpad, decentered under the keyboard, which is strange at first glance, but in the end quite consistent when typing.
power to all
In terms of power, all of the newcomers rely on 13th Gen Intel Core i5, i7, or i9 processors (depending on configuration) to deliver maximum capabilities to PCs.
Among the new range, there are three categories:
– Galaxy Book3 and Book3 360, the version with a swivel hinge that allows you to switch the PC to tablet or shop mode with a stylus.
– the Galaxy Book3 Pro and Book3 Pro 360, more advanced versions of the first mentioned.
– The Galaxy Book3 Ultra that brings together all the advantages of the Pro range by adding an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 or 4070 graphics card.
Simple, 2 in 1 and creativity
Samsung has tried to satisfy all needs, from the simplest to the most emblematic technological ones, going through the 2-in-1 with touch screen and stylus.
The Galaxy Book3 has a 15.6-inch Full HD LCD screen and a very large touch panel. It is the only device presented that does not have a Super AMOLED screen and relies on the essentials to ensure good connectivity and productivity facilities. On the other hand, its hybrid companion, the Galaxy Book3 360, can boast an Amoled touch screen with a 120 Hz image refresh rate. What to appreciate the speed of execution of the promised S-Pen stylus without latency.
The Galaxy Book3 Pro range offers a slightly superior pull, more output two different eye formats in 14 and 16 pouces, with a light weight and a reliable épaisseur (from 1.17 kg and 11.3 mm for the smallest size of the two). The improvement can also be seen on the Full HD webcam. Its hybrid counterpart Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is only offered with a 16-inch screen. The entire Pro range, however, starts at 2,000 euros.
The Galaxy Book3 Ultra represents everything that Samsung wants to put into performance in its computers, with a refined design, a 16-inch 3K 120 Hz screen and, above all, the arrival of an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4050 or 4070 graphics card, perfect for video games. but also creatives, graphic designers and others. The Ultra and Pro ranges also benefit from an enhanced audio system with four speakers, AI-assisted microphones to reduce background noise and enhance speech.
A complete ecosystem
With tablets, smartphones and PCs, Samsung wants above all to play on complementarity. Their computers work with Windows 11 and they are already allowed to offer gateways between mobile phones and laptops so that the former can benefit from its advantages over the latter, as well as notifications and other alerts.
To make things easier, Samsung has equipped its Galaxy Books with Quick Share and Private Share features to share and secure transfers between devices. Like the competition, the home tablet (Galaxy Tab) can serve as a second screen for the PC, with the ability to drag a file from one medium to another, or even use the PC keyboard on the tablet.
