Product Overview

Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 13" is an ultra-slim, ultra-portable 13.3-inch 2-in-1 convertible laptop powered by Intel's low-powered i7-1165G7 Tiger Lake CPU. As a departure from prior Galaxy Books, the it features an AMOLED display rather than a QLED unit.
The new display covers 120% of DCI-P3 color space, ensuring accurate color reproduction. With ambient light sensor, it is able to adapt to the lighting environment while lessening eye strains.
What is amazing about the new Galaxy Book Pro 360 13" is that it essentially shares the same size and weight as its clamshell sister model unveiled at the same time, which makes it the lightest 13.3-inch 2-in-1 on the market today. It also features a more powerful 8W stereo speaker system.
Still, with a 63Wh battery and the efficient processor, the Galaxy Book Pro 360 13" is able to deliver up to 21 hours of battery life. Naturally, Thunderbolt 4, WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.1 are all standard. There are even a microSD card reader.
Samsung also markets a 15.6" sister model of the Galaxy Book Pro 360 13".

Reviewers from gizmodo have found the following***:
The 15-inch Galaxy Book Pro 360 churned out one of the best battery life marks we've seen in years. There's no place to store a stylus in a system this thin, but Samsung does include an S-Pen in the box. Annoying, there's also a fair bit of bloatware pre-installed on here too, like apps for Amazon and Facebook Messenger.

Pros
  • Gorgeous OLED screen
  • Excellent battery life
  • S-Pen included
Cons
  • Poor webcam

The Galaxy Book Pro 360 is an excellent option for those who want a large screen on an ultra-portable chassis. Content creators will appreciate the vivid 15.6-inch AMOLED display. The Core i7-1165G7 CPU with 16GB of RAM delivered fast performance in our benchmarks and real-world tests.

Pros
  • Gorgeous 15.6-inch AMOLED display
  • S Pen included for artists and note-takers
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • No integrated webcam

The 15-inch Galaxy Book Pro 360 is one of few laptops with a touchpad of this size. The touchpad is comically large, taking up about half the length of the deck. The dual speakers on the bottom panel are loud enough to fill an office though I'm not convinced they will replace a proper Bluetooth speaker.

Pros
  • Sleek, lightweight design
  • S Pen included
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Display could be brighter
  • No Thunderbolt 3

Reviewers from pcworld have found the following***:
Samsung doesn't overload the Galaxy Book Pro 360 with numerous third-party "crapware" apps. Still, Samsung adds tons of its own Samsung- or Galaxy-branded apps, some of which are quite good. The only three must-open apps are Samsung Update, Samsung Settings, and Samsung Security.

Pros
  • Very thin and light
  • Excellent keyboard
  • S Pen included
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Lackluster webcam
  • No privacy shutter

Reviewers from techradar have found the following***:
The Full HD AMOLED screen offers excellent color reproduction and contrast. The keyboard is large for such a small laptop, and even though the key height is very low, the keyboard feels fantastically good to type on. Apart from the plastic S-Pen, the only thing that detracts from the premium feel here is the mediocre webcam at a modest 720p resolution. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 is a premium and high-quality 2-in-1 device, but so is the HP Spectre x360.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality
  • Good speakers
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Mediocre webcam
  • No stylus support

The 720p webcam on the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G is grainy. Samsung has built-in software called "Studio mode" that pops up whenever you turn the camera on. There's no infrared camera for Windows Hello to log in with your face. Still, the fingerprint reader on the keyboard proved reliable in my use.

Pros
  • Long battery life
  • Long-lasting battery
  • Good performance
Cons
  • No fingerprint reader
  • No 5G connectivity
