Hi, thank you so much for watching, and for the super nice compliment! Congrats on getting it, I think you're going to love it. I'm sitting here putting it through it's paces right now, and it's performing very well so far. Please let me know me know what you think of it after you've spent a little time with it. The screen is just perfect this year, loving it.
Yes, my main complaint with the Galaxy Book Pro 1 & 2 was their poor choice of displays. 1080p was simply wrong on the 15-inch last year. The rest of the package has been great, from support to battery to performance (for my usage). I wish they would add a non-glossy display option, not matte but anti-reflective like Apple does. As for the Galaxy Book3 Pro and Ultra, my only gripe is that they are costly; a sign of the times, sadly. If, like last year, they will plummet in price after 2-3 months and should pick up a cheap one on eBay.
All great points Andy, for sure. I was shocked when we only got 1080p on last year's 15", I don't know what they were thinking with that decision. Agreed on offering multiple screen types, it would be nice to have a matte option, especially for those that aren't always in controlled lighting situations. I hope you've been good, thanks for stopping by again!
Thanks for the comparison. Mine arrived here on Sunday with the same spec as yours. I think the screen is truly sublime, but I think the audio could be much better; it lacks punch, even with the Atmos turned on. I'm a bass maniac, so most people will be happy with it as is. Oh, for anyone worried about the HDMI, you can always use the Thunderbolt port to get the best from it. With 400GBP discounts here in the UK, it is definitely a happy purchase. I didn't own the earlier iteration, thankfully.
Hi Vernal, thanks for watching! Congrats on getting one, it's a heck of a machine! I'm sorry you're not happy with the audio, I personally think it sounds great for such a thin machine, but we all have different hopes for different things. Hopefully you can setup a nice speaker setup with little lag to help in that area. Totally agree on the HDMI thing, I use an Anker multi-port adapter that gets me high refresh out due to the higher bandwidth. i kind of wish they just left the HDMI port off and put a full size SD card reader in it's place. I'm glad you're happy with it overall, the screen is just amazing.
@@VernalScott You're welcome Vernal. Also, you can fine tune the audio via the Dolby Access app to add some more bass, just mentioning in case you didn't know about it.
I previously had Microsoft Surface Laptop 5, where I thought the sound quality was good. Can the sound quality keep up with Microsoft? And also, the last Samsung model only had two speakers, so the book 3 Pro 360 has four. Can't you tell the difference?
Hey! Thanks for the unboxing! I actually can't afford this machine so even though I am so envious of the people getting the Book3, I am still quite happy with my Book2. It has actually exceeded my expectations. I followed your tips and haven't had any problems with the battery or the sound. In fact, I often have to lower my volume when I am Netflixing. Also, with school and stuff, I think the 16'' would be way too big for me.
Hi, thanks for stopping by again! You're good with last year's model, no need to even think about upgrading. The new screen is nice, but all in all, their very similar machines. i love the book2 pro 360, and like you mentioned, the smaller size is nice from a portability standpoint. I'd use that bad boy for at leasst a couple more years before thinking about an upgrade, it's a nice laptop.
@@RADERTECH That's exactly what I am hoping for. My last Samsung laptop got me through 9 years. 5 good years and 4 years of struggle. Loving the videos
Excellent video! After watching your video, I bought the galaxy book 2 pro 360 15-inch model last year and was pleased they fixed all the issues plaguing the first galaxy book pro 360. It has been a year, and the galaxy book 2pro 360 has served me well, but I noticed that the battery life has taken a hit now that I have had it and used it aggressively for a year. I look forward to your review/updated video and will decide if it's worth pulling the trigger and buying a new one.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! Last year's model is great, but yeah, the battery life isn't so great after some time. So far, it seems like this year's model is doing a little better in that department, but it's still very early to tell for sure. Full review will be out in about a week or so. I like to use it for a bit before doing reviews.
While showing UA-cam video both from Book 2 Pro and Book 3 Pro you must bring the screens of both the laptops closer to the camera so that it fits the entire screen of the viewer's pc. You can separately show the video from both the laptops in 1080p as well as 2160p resolution for 30 seconds duration of each laptop.
Hi, thanks for watching! Don't worry, I'll be doing a full side by side comparison with a bunch of close up footage in the full review coming up. This was just a quick unboxing type video to show some quick differences. Thank you kindly for the great suggestion too, it's definitely important to show them side by side.
Thank you so much, I appreciate you stopping by and watching again. I'm hoping to the Ultra soon, I'm looking forward to trying it out. I hope you're having a great day!
Hi, thanks for watching! I have an old surface pro from about 3 years ago, and it keeps up with it fine, they feel similar in a lot of respects. It's a chiclet style keyboard, so you just have to be cool with this type of key press and in that case I think you'd like it. Travel is minimal, and there's just enough of a tactile feedback to be reassured of each keypress.
1rsrt ideo of the day for me... big thump up...now i am watching and will return later for comment....hoping that video wont sway me into upgrading :-) Thanks again for taking the time of making those videos and to answer some of our questikns!
Ok I will nitpick but I don't like the new design...I think Samsung will propose a more compact version next year. ...I am not sure why thee Book 3 keeps this huge chin (is it for the digitiser electronic) while dell XPS have no bezels and rounded corner on the screen??? Is it a new trend now for PC? So still room for improvement
Howdy Joe! I'd say at this price point, it's A-Okay to nitpick! I know what you mean, the new design is a bit different. I noticed that there's a grey color under the hinges now, and that part looks a little strange. The corners are also more rounded this year, but I actually like that part. I think you're good with the book2 pro 360 my friend, no need to upgrade. Next year's will be even better, and maybe the prices will be a little better by then as well, this year seems rough from a pricing perspective.
Good stuff, thanks for putting this out. A question. You mention that increased tightness and decreased wobble of the new Book3 Pro 360, do you think 4-5 years from now that will noticeably loosen up, or do you think it will still stay reasonably tight? I have been torn between the 16" i7 Book3 Pro and Pro 360. Someone raised the concern that the Pro 360 might be looser and not hold its extended open position as well beyond 90 degrees say up to roughly 160 degrees versus the Pro. Do you think that should be a concern here? My idea is when going mobile in my suv, with the tent of the Pro 360 I might tent it over the gear shift between the two front seats while monitoring the market, and just put it back into clamshell shape to actively do something; while with the Pro though I can't tent it, I imagine I could open it as much as possible, maybe up to around 160 degrees or so, and then just place it behind the gear shift with the back side of the screen leaning against the dash higher up, in both cases being able to monitor streaming quotes with it in some position over and behind the gear shift. I am inclined to get the 360 for the added flexibility of what it can do, but maybe not if the 360 won't hold the roughly 160 degree open position very well, thus my questions to you. Hopefully I've explained that well. Thanks.
Hi Nate, thanks for watching, and my apologies for slow reply. Been a little under the weather and am a bit behind on comments. I get what you're saying. It's tough to answer for sure, because these galaxy books have only been out for 3 years, and I sent the first one off to my daughter so she could use it for college. But I still have the book2 pro 360, and so far the lid and hinge feel exactly the same, at least as far as I can tell. I doubt if the book3 pro (non 360) opens all the way up to 160 degrees, but I could be wrong on that. That would be almost flat, and I don't think it gets even near flat, maybe closer to about 140 degrees, or even slightly less. On the Book3 Pro 360, once you open it all the way up to around 160 degrees, it's starts to feel a little bit loose and wants to lay flat over a little bit of time. But anything less than roughly 160 degrees, it holds it's position just fine. Just mentioning in case you're looking to also use the 360 at a 160 degree angle.
Hi, thanks for watching! Taking gaming out of the equation, I'd probably lean on the book3 pro 360, unless you use your machine outdoors often. It has a higher resolution panel and is priced more reasonably. Both great machines though, especially the higher spec'd Flow X16's with TI based gpus.
@@RADERTECH Thanks for your anwer. I'm looking for my broken LG Gram 2in1 replacement and thinking that both book3 pro 360 and Flow X16 are good candidates. Display of the book3 has a higher resolution but X16 is brighter and it's miniLED and some reviewers say it's close to MacBook Pro 16 screen (but IDK for sure). My concern about book3 AMOLED is that it could have too vibrant colors and with it's PWM the both could cause faster eyes fatigue, also I'm thinking how long it will last without visible degradation. Do you have any eyes fatigue when working all day long with book3? And thinking of the audio, the both laptops have 4 speakers but X16 is thicker and more tough so it may sound better, but I'd like to hear a real comparison. Another impotant thing to me is a keyboard but I suppose the Samsung's one is better.
GREAT REVIEW!!!! PLEASE clean your poor Galaxy Book2 Pro 360! I'm Loving my Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 15.6 16/1tb in Burgundy!!! GREAT TIP DON'T PICK IT UP FROM THE CENTER! I did'nt know there was a problem w/screens cracking.
Hi, thank you so much for watching! I know, it's super dusty! I didn't really notice until halfway through recording, and I'm like "just roll with it", lol! There's quite a few reddit posts about the screen cracking on folks, so hopefully this thicker screen will help with that. Never had any problems myself, but I guess it's a thing for some folks.
That a very nice video thank you for that. I see a lot of videos about the book 3 360 pro but what do you think of the book 3 360 classic? Do you plan on making a video about this model?
Hi, thanks for watching! It's a great all arounder if you're not looking for the s pen included, since not everyone likes using it anyways. I don't intend on reviewing it though. The only other option I might consider picking up is one of the Ultra's, but only after seeing detailed benchmarks with heating results.
Ugh, I totally decided the book2 was just as good until I saw the display on the book3. It's $600 cheaper! Everything else I would be happy with the book2.
That's the thing, it really is all about the display with this year's model. To be 100% honest though, it's not $600 better. It's better, but not that much better. Thanks for watching!
*URGENT info !* Sir Is Lenovo yoga 9i 1 TB 13th Gen 14inch 300 dollar costlier better or this Samsung book 3 pro 360 ? There are few differences now in both and the LENOVO in discount still costs me like 300$ More than samsung 16 inch and Lenovo is 14 inch ..STILL which one is better now ?
Hi, thanks for watching! Both great machines, but considering the price difference and that the s pen comes with book3 pro 360, I would probably lean on it. The new alumunim build this year is nice as well.
Howdy James, thanks for stopping by again! I'm diggin' it too, 16:10 16" is feeling right at home, and the increase in resolution with 120hz really makes for a nice screen upgrade this year. I'm hoping they come down in price soon.
@@RADERTECH I just got the Galaxy tab s8 ultra last week and wondering if I'm missing out on the Galaxy books 3 pro cause I can still return. Or will I be fine keeping the tab? I just need something to listen to music on, watch UA-cam and Netflix, and do emails and web browsing.
@@Johnmims65 i sold my s7+ to buy the book 3 pro 360. The book now has all the good things that the tab has (good display, quad speakers etc) and a real computer instead of the costly tab.
Will pixelization of texts (both from Website and MS word) and UA-cam Videos matter if I sit from 2.5 feet distance from both these laptops? Will there be any difference in display quality?
Hi, thanks for watching. For youtube, you won't notice the difference the at all, unless you're sitting right on top of the displays, so to speak. But for Word and reading text on websites, it's noticable. It's not a huge difference or anything, but you will notice the difference. If you're typically sensiteve to resolution, the 3k on the newer model is the way to go. It should go down in price within a couple of months, in case you're able to wait.
Not sure if this has been mentioned or if you knew but was 120hz on ? Perhaps that's where you might see a difference with the pen (as far as latency is concerned) if it wasn't already on.
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, I had 120hz enabled in the Display settings. There's a dynamic option that auto switches between 60 and 120hz, a 60hz option, and a 120hz option. I had the 120hz option selected, I enabled that shortly after setting it up. It's cool there's the dynamic option to help save battery life. I'll do some more pen testing soon, and I'll be doing a S Pen latency test with slo-mo footage between both models soon. I did that for last year's and the original book pro 360, and the slo-mo footage showed the book2 coming out on top. I won't be surprised if we see the same result this year.
Hi, thanks for watching! If you're looking for a smaller size screen, then the surface pro 5. Otherwise, if you're cool with a 16" screen, the gb3 pro 360 for sure, it's just a more capable machine.
Hi, thanks for watching. No, you won't be able to add additional RAM, as it's soldered on directly. It mentions 2 sticks so you know the DDR bandwidth is split between them, that's what we want. For the storage, there's an addition NVME slot, but I'm not sure if it's 2230 or 2280 yet.

@@PeterWilcoxNL I wish there was, because I´m from Germany..... ;-) But seriously, just like last year´s 2nd gen device there was information circulating it would be available as a 32gb version. It never materialized though.
@@pixelpusher1393 - I have asked Samsung directly why the spec sheet reflects this and hopefully I will hear and answer on this today from them. My product being delivered to the US has been pushed back 3 times :(.
Always love your stuff. Looking at the size the touch pad, you'd be tempted to utilize it as a multitasking s-penpad$$. (i can see that in the non 360 versions more so) Sadly though (not really), i shall hold on to this beautifully engineered PinkPro360 1st gen. however If i was to look for a next luxury purchase, i would say it's the idea, of an arm based pro360 that pikes my interest the most. Which is an exciting prospect. All the best.
Hi, thanks for your kind words and for watching! It sure is a huge trackpad, it would be good for that. An ARM based 360 with full 5g nanosim support would be awesome.
Hi, thank you so much, and thank you for watching! If I end up getting my hands on the XPS this year, I''ll gladly compare both models. It won't be for at least a couple of months though, I just spend way too much $ on items from the Samsung Unpacked event, lol.
Great review - How is the brightness of the screen (only 400 nits compared to last year 500) with the glossy display and fingerprint retention on the chassy?
Hi, thanks for watching! So this year's and last year's models are the same brightness. 400 nits regular, 500 nits HDR. For indoor use, they both get plenty bright enough, I rarely put the brightness even close to 100% indoors. For outdoor use, it can be a struggle, especially with the reflective screen. I actually like it being a glossy screen (personal preference of course) since it's an OLED panel. It makes the colors appear more vibrant and the blacks seem a little darker, but of course you have to be in good lighting conditions. It can be a mixed bag, but in controlled lighting, it looks amazing. For fingerprints, a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth does the trick.
@@RADERTECH Very interesting - the whole 400/500 nits thing is quite misleading. You see a lot of paid reviewers promoting 500 whilst the independents say 400. With a glossy screen - 400 seems a little low to me.
@@mgalove I saw a couple tests where it's coming in it at around 412 nits for regular content. If you're indoors, it's definitely plenty bright unless you're next to an open window. It's not so great outside though.
Hi, thanks for watching,. If I recall correctly, the Book2 had a slight delay in availability last year, so that's likely happening again this year. I think you'll just have to wait it out for a little bit, but it will eventually come.
hello! I really like your content about Samsung. Could you make a comparison video between the Book2 pro 360 and the Book3 pro 360 on the strength of the magnet on the chassis to hold the Spen, positions, strength, etc. I'd be really grateful
Hi, thanks for stopping by again! I'll make sure to include that in the full comparison for you, it should be out in about a week or so. Thanks for the suggestion, very much appreciated. I can describe it quickly here for you as well. You'll have 2 spots on both machines, the back of the lid and towards the front along the trackpad. Both spots hold it well, and the magnetization seems to be the same on this year's as last year's model.
Hi, thanks for watching. Well, that's tough. So the 13.3" model has a PPI of 165, whereas the 16" has a PPI of 210. That's quite a big difference, even considering the difference in screen size. I think 1080p is enough on 13.3", but just barely. I would personally lean on the 16", it would handle thermal throttling better as well. But 13" would be fine, I didn't really mind 1080p on the 15.6" version much.
Hi, thanks for watching. So far, it seems on par with last year's model, and I expect it to improve a bit more as updates finish up over the next few days. But to be honest, it's really too early for me to give you an answer. I had a busy work day, so my time with the machine has been limited so far. I'll have a much better idea in another couple days or so.
Thank you for this awesome video, I think it's the best review I have watched for book 3 pro 360 until now, could you tell me wich device I should go samsung book 3 pro 360 or macbook pro 16?
Hi, thanks for watching. If you're comparing it to the latest MB Pro 16 M2, then the MB all day. It's a better machine in almost all regards, but is also quite a bit more expensive. But, if pen input is important to you, then that switches things up drastically.
@@RADERTECH MB Pro is amazing machine but it's not for everyone. For me as a .NET developer, it's not an option. I really tryied and it was a big pain even with Parallels, unfortunately. But it's probably the best option for those who are not tied to Windows development.
Hey Rader! Loved the video btw. Hows using the big touchpad? Im thinking of moving from a MacBook Pro 16 to this (I recently switched from an iPhone to an S23 Ultra), and Im curious if you think the trackpad can hold its own or compete with the Macbooks? Im a trackpad only user, so accuracy and responsiveness are huge to me. I havent seen any videos exporing the touchpad much on this machine. Would love to hear your thoughts. Either way, subscribed! 👊
Thanks for subscribing, and my apologies for the slow reply. We're just getting settled in to a new place, so I took a little break from youtube. Honestly, I think you'd be disappointed with trackpad on the book3 pro 360, the macbook trackpad blows it away. It's not very precise at time, and it's too darn big really. I would probably stick with the MB given this.
Hi, thanks for watching! Where are you seeing the 1260p as having a higher clock speed? The base and max (turbo) speeds on the 1360p are both higher, 1.7 and 5ghz, compared to 1.5 and 4.7 max on the 1260p. So far, it looks like the new CPU beats it in nearly every test imaginable, here's some testing data points for you - www.notebookcheck.net/i7-1260P-vs-i7-1360P_14064_14731.247596.0.html
I don't think so, not at the current price. It's now up to $1,899 here in the US, and that's just ridiculous. It was over $200 cheaper than that when I pre-ordered it, and also traded in a watch 4 to get the cost down more. It's not worth $2,000, I'd just get last year's model on the cheap. I see them going for really low prices on ebay, even brand new. Thanks for watching!
It is too bad they don't offer it anymore. I almost got it last year, but there was a delay in shipping on burgundy units during the pre-order time. it looks so nice! Thanks for watching.
Great unboxing bro, I think I want to sell mine but I don't know how much to sell for, I have the 2 pro 360 but that screen man, sucks. If I do get this, I will decide by tomorrow it will definitely be for 2 or 3 years or longer but I won't be looking to upgrade next year haha
Thanks for stopping by again bro, I appreciate you. I know what you mean by the screen on the book2 pro 360. It's the achilles heel of that machine unfortunately. Such a great machine otherwise though. But man, this new screen is where it's at, it should have been on last year's model. The difference is very noticable. The resale value on the book2 pro 360 is sadly very low. I'm seeing the maxed out version right now going for around $650 average price, some a little higher. It's hard to believe the price on them has plummeted that much, even considering them being used.
@RADER TECH So I tried to pre order this but for some reason it didn't go through. That being said I work graveyard shift( drive a concrete mixer) and now that I look at the prices it actually looks like it might be better for me to buy it now! Another huge reason for me wanting to get this is to add samsung care , I didn't add it last time and actually broke my screen and had to pay to put a new one and now samsung care is half price ! It's crazy and I'm guessing that the s23 ultra is going to be way cheaper
@@michaelmarquez6133 where is Samsung care ..there is no mention when you buy the book 3 .. and how much will it cost and can be taken later or just when you purchase in our country i see no care package accidental damage
Hey, thanks for watching! You could be totally right, that's a very good point. I think the new one is a little "tougher" built, all in all though. Not by a huge margin or anything, just a little bit. The part that is quite a bit different is with the thickness of the lid. It's quite a bit thicker on the newer mode.
Good comparison - and looking forward to your full blown review! Giving once again more rigidity to the display seems like an admission of too much flex in 1st gen devices, and still too much in the 2nd generation. Like with the 2nd gen, there are claims of more than 16gb Ram available, but I´ve yet to see an online store offering that.
Hey, thanks for stopping again, appreciate you! Oh yeah, they definitely know that they messed up with the previous models. The screen was way too thin for most folks, so hopefully this new one is less of a problem. I keep hearing about 32GB options too, but have yet to see one as well.
It's going for $1,299 on Amazon in the US. I tried finding it on Samsung's US site, and I saw mention of all models except the 3. Seems kind of strange. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi, thanks for stopping by again! When I first heard it had HDMI 1.4, I was like WTF? You gotta be kidding me!?! Even the Ultra is only getting 2.0 instead 0f 2.1, Samsung is bonkers with this one. Thankfully it doesn't impact me personally since I just dock in, but it's still really dumb of them.
Thanks for stopping by. The thickness difference is very small, probably about 1/2 mm larger at the hinge. I've used for quite a while now, and I actually is a pretty big upgrade in a couple key areas. Thermals and battery life. But, I still recomment you hang on to that gb2 pro 360 becuase of the trackpad. The trackpad on the newer model is too darn big for me, and a lot of other folks. I wish they would have left that alone.

It has been a year, and the galaxy book 2pro 360 has served me well, but I noticed that the battery life has taken a hit now that I have had it and used it aggressively for a year.
I look forward to your review/updated video and will decide if it's worth pulling the trigger and buying a new one.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! Last year's model is great, but yeah, the battery life isn't so great after some time. So far, it seems like this year's model is doing a little better in that department, but it's still very early to tell for sure. Full review will be out in about a week or so. I like to use it for a bit before doing reviews.
U makes such good perfect videos reviews, i have only subscribed to 4 channels and one is urs❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much very much, this comment just made my day! I appreciate you!
They did significant upgrades that I feel bad for people that bought last year laptops.
Sir can you suggetion for book 360 pro3 ultra book 3
@Aatma Ram rohra roy go 360 if you want a touch screen, the ultra is if you have money, want power, and a dedicated gpu.
@@AG-fv4wd largest screen i m lover of screen
I got one for cheap.. I just need the spen ability. Very little Windows with EMR stylus
Well I think this 3rd model is significantly pricier than last year and I don't like the design
While showing UA-cam video both from Book 2 Pro and Book 3 Pro you must bring the screens of both the laptops closer to the camera so that it fits the entire screen of the viewer's pc. You can separately show the video from both the laptops in 1080p as well as 2160p resolution for 30 seconds duration of each laptop.
Hi, thanks for watching! Don't worry, I'll be doing a full side by side comparison with a bunch of close up footage in the full review coming up. This was just a quick unboxing type video to show some quick differences. Thank you kindly for the great suggestion too, it's definitely important to show them side by side.
looking forward to your book3 ultra review great content as always.
Thank you so much, I appreciate you stopping by and watching again. I'm hoping to the Ultra soon, I'm looking forward to trying it out. I hope you're having a great day!
What about the pressure point of the keyboard? Can the keyboard keep up with the Microsoft Surface?
Hi, thanks for watching! I have an old surface pro from about 3 years ago, and it keeps up with it fine, they feel similar in a lot of respects. It's a chiclet style keyboard, so you just have to be cool with this type of key press and in that case I think you'd like it. Travel is minimal, and there's just enough of a tactile feedback to be reassured of each keypress.
@@RADERTECH Thanks for answering.
1rsrt ideo of the day for me... big thump up...now i am watching and will return later for comment....hoping that video wont sway me into upgrading :-) Thanks again for taking the time of making those videos and to answer some of our questikns!
Ok I will nitpick but I don't like the new design...I think Samsung will propose a more compact version next year. ...I am not sure why thee Book 3 keeps this huge chin (is it for the digitiser electronic) while dell XPS have no bezels and rounded corner on the screen??? Is it a new trend now for PC?
So still room for improvement
Howdy Joe! I'd say at this price point, it's A-Okay to nitpick! I know what you mean, the new design is a bit different. I noticed that there's a grey color under the hinges now, and that part looks a little strange. The corners are also more rounded this year, but I actually like that part. I think you're good with the book2 pro 360 my friend, no need to upgrade. Next year's will be even better, and maybe the prices will be a little better by then as well, this year seems rough from a pricing perspective.
It looks great, but I'll wait for a while to buy it. The audio sounds better. I'll be waiting for the next video. Thanks.
Thanks for stopping again, I appreciate you! It sure is pricey, waiting for the price to come down is a good idea, as it'll surely happen.
Good stuff, thanks for putting this out. A question. You mention that increased tightness and decreased wobble of the new Book3 Pro 360, do you think 4-5 years from now that will noticeably loosen up, or do you think it will still stay reasonably tight? I have been torn between the 16" i7 Book3 Pro and Pro 360. Someone raised the concern that the Pro 360 might be looser and not hold its extended open position as well beyond 90 degrees say up to roughly 160 degrees versus the Pro. Do you think that should be a concern here? My idea is when going mobile in my suv, with the tent of the Pro 360 I might tent it over the gear shift between the two front seats while monitoring the market, and just put it back into clamshell shape to actively do something; while with the Pro though I can't tent it, I imagine I could open it as much as possible, maybe up to around 160 degrees or so, and then just place it behind the gear shift with the back side of the screen leaning against the dash higher up, in both cases being able to monitor streaming quotes with it in some position over and behind the gear shift. I am inclined to get the 360 for the added flexibility of what it can do, but maybe not if the 360 won't hold the roughly 160 degree open position very well, thus my questions to you. Hopefully I've explained that well. Thanks.
Hi Nate, thanks for watching, and my apologies for slow reply. Been a little under the weather and am a bit behind on comments.
I get what you're saying. It's tough to answer for sure, because these galaxy books have only been out for 3 years, and I sent the first one off to my daughter so she could use it for college. But I still have the book2 pro 360, and so far the lid and hinge feel exactly the same, at least as far as I can tell.
I doubt if the book3 pro (non 360) opens all the way up to 160 degrees, but I could be wrong on that. That would be almost flat, and I don't think it gets even near flat, maybe closer to about 140 degrees, or even slightly less.
On the Book3 Pro 360, once you open it all the way up to around 160 degrees, it's starts to feel a little bit loose and wants to lay flat over a little bit of time. But anything less than roughly 160 degrees, it holds it's position just fine. Just mentioning in case you're looking to also use the 360 at a 160 degree angle.
How the new book 3 competes with the Asus Flow X16 (except gaming and 3D)? Especially the display and sound.
Hi, thanks for watching! Taking gaming out of the equation, I'd probably lean on the book3 pro 360, unless you use your machine outdoors often. It has a higher resolution panel and is priced more reasonably. Both great machines though, especially the higher spec'd Flow X16's with TI based gpus.
@@RADERTECH Thanks for your anwer. I'm looking for my broken LG Gram 2in1 replacement and thinking that both book3 pro 360 and Flow X16 are good candidates. Display of the book3 has a higher resolution but X16 is brighter and it's miniLED and some reviewers say it's close to MacBook Pro 16 screen (but IDK for sure). My concern about book3 AMOLED is that it could have too vibrant colors and with it's PWM the both could cause faster eyes fatigue, also I'm thinking how long it will last without visible degradation. Do you have any eyes fatigue when working all day long with book3? And thinking of the audio, the both laptops have 4 speakers but X16 is thicker and more tough so it may sound better, but I'd like to hear a real comparison. Another impotant thing to me is a keyboard but I suppose the Samsung's one is better.
How's the battery life compared to the last year one?
Hi, thanks for watching! I'm putting it through its paces now, and should have a good idea of battery life within the next couple of days.
GREAT REVIEW!!!! PLEASE clean your poor Galaxy Book2 Pro 360! I'm Loving my Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 15.6 16/1tb in Burgundy!!! GREAT TIP DON'T PICK IT UP FROM THE CENTER! I did'nt know there was a problem w/screens cracking.
Hi, thank you so much for watching! I know, it's super dusty! I didn't really notice until halfway through recording, and I'm like "just roll with it", lol!
There's quite a few reddit posts about the screen cracking on folks, so hopefully this thicker screen will help with that. Never had any problems myself, but I guess it's a thing for some folks.
That a very nice video thank you for that. I see a lot of videos about the book 3 360 pro but what do you think of the book 3 360 classic? Do you plan on making a video about this model?
Hi, thanks for watching! It's a great all arounder if you're not looking for the s pen included, since not everyone likes using it anyways. I don't intend on reviewing it though. The only other option I might consider picking up is one of the Ultra's, but only after seeing detailed benchmarks with heating results.
Ugh, I totally decided the book2 was just as good until I saw the display on the book3. It's $600 cheaper!
Everything else I would be happy with the book2.
That's the thing, it really is all about the display with this year's model. To be 100% honest though, it's not $600 better. It's better, but not that much better. Thanks for watching!
*URGENT info !* Sir Is Lenovo yoga 9i 1 TB 13th Gen 14inch 300 dollar costlier better or this Samsung book 3 pro 360 ? There are few differences now in both and the LENOVO in discount still costs me like 300$ More than samsung 16 inch and Lenovo is 14 inch ..STILL which one is better now ?
Hi, thanks for watching! Both great machines, but considering the price difference and that the s pen comes with book3 pro 360, I would probably lean on it. The new alumunim build this year is nice as well.
Lenovo yoga screen quality doesn’t even come close to the book 3. Also the battery is much better on the book 3
how much do you guys in the US pay for that i7 16gb 1tb version?
here in germany samsung wants 2100€ :(
Hi, thanks for watching. I paid $1,699 for it during the preorder period, it's now up to $1,899.
Great quick review. I personally like the larger size. Looks all in all like a great package.
Howdy James, thanks for stopping by again! I'm diggin' it too, 16:10 16" is feeling right at home, and the increase in resolution with 120hz really makes for a nice screen upgrade this year. I'm hoping they come down in price soon.
@@RADERTECH I just got the Galaxy tab s8 ultra last week and wondering if I'm missing out on the Galaxy books 3 pro cause I can still return. Or will I be fine keeping the tab? I just need something to listen to music on, watch UA-cam and Netflix, and do emails and web browsing.
@@Johnmims65 i sold my s7+ to buy the book 3 pro 360. The book now has all the good things that the tab has (good display, quad speakers etc) and a real computer instead of the costly tab.
@varun dhir I couldn't afford the 360 probably would get the 14 inch or 16inch pro
Just wondering if I sold return ? I got my 256gbtab s8 ultra for $1079.99 on sale total was $1,159
Is there HDR support on Book 3 pro 360? If it is then which one. HDR10 or HDR500?
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, it has full HDR support and supports HDR500.
Will pixelization of texts (both from Website and MS word) and UA-cam Videos matter if I sit from 2.5 feet distance from both these laptops? Will there be any difference in display quality?
Hi, thanks for watching. For youtube, you won't notice the difference the at all, unless you're sitting right on top of the displays, so to speak. But for Word and reading text on websites, it's noticable. It's not a huge difference or anything, but you will notice the difference. If you're typically sensiteve to resolution, the 3k on the newer model is the way to go. It should go down in price within a couple of months, in case you're able to wait.
Not sure if this has been mentioned or if you knew but was 120hz on ? Perhaps that's where you might see a difference with the pen (as far as latency is concerned) if it wasn't already on.
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, I had 120hz enabled in the Display settings. There's a dynamic option that auto switches between 60 and 120hz, a 60hz option, and a 120hz option. I had the 120hz option selected, I enabled that shortly after setting it up. It's cool there's the dynamic option to help save battery life. I'll do some more pen testing soon, and I'll be doing a S Pen latency test with slo-mo footage between both models soon. I did that for last year's and the original book pro 360, and the slo-mo footage showed the book2 coming out on top. I won't be surprised if we see the same result this year.
@@RADERTECH oh ok thanks for reply looking forward to more videos of this 2 in 1.
Please compare book3 360 vs book 2 pro 360 because their prices are similar
Hi, thanks for watching! If I get my hands on the book3 360 at some point, I'll gladly compare them for you.
I am confused between surface laptop 5 and book 3 pro. Any suggestions?
Hi, thanks for watching! If you're looking for a smaller size screen, then the surface pro 5. Otherwise, if you're cool with a 16" screen, the gb3 pro 360 for sure, it's just a more capable machine.
Can you add an additional 16 gigs of memory to the device since it is indicated on the spec sheet that there are two slots?
Same as with storage.
Hi, thanks for watching. No, you won't be able to add additional RAM, as it's soldered on directly. It mentions 2 sticks so you know the DDR bandwidth is split between them, that's what we want.
For the storage, there's an addition NVME slot, but I'm not sure if it's 2230 or 2280 yet.
@@RADERTECH According to the spec sheet it is 2280.

Always love your stuff.
Looking at the size the touch pad, you'd be tempted to utilize it as a multitasking s-penpad$$. (i can see that in the non 360 versions more so)
Sadly though (not really), i shall hold on to this beautifully engineered PinkPro360 1st gen.
however If i was to look for a next luxury purchase, i would say it's the idea, of an arm based pro360 that pikes my interest the most. Which is an exciting prospect.
All the best.
Hi, thanks for your kind words and for watching! It sure is a huge trackpad, it would be good for that. An ARM based 360 with full 5g nanosim support would be awesome.
Great video. Can you comparize Samsung Galaxy Book 3 ultra (i7) vs Dell Xps 15 (2022)? Pls
Hi, thank you so much, and thank you for watching! If I end up getting my hands on the XPS this year, I''ll gladly compare both models. It won't be for at least a couple of months though, I just spend way too much $ on items from the Samsung Unpacked event, lol.
Great review - How is the brightness of the screen (only 400 nits compared to last year 500) with the glossy display and fingerprint retention on the chassy?
Hi, thanks for watching! So this year's and last year's models are the same brightness. 400 nits regular, 500 nits HDR. For indoor use, they both get plenty bright enough, I rarely put the brightness even close to 100% indoors. For outdoor use, it can be a struggle, especially with the reflective screen.
I actually like it being a glossy screen (personal preference of course) since it's an OLED panel. It makes the colors appear more vibrant and the blacks seem a little darker, but of course you have to be in good lighting conditions. It can be a mixed bag, but in controlled lighting, it looks amazing. For fingerprints, a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth does the trick.
@@RADERTECH Matte screen protector is a good option for those who don't like glossy screen. I used it for LG Gram and was happy
@@RADERTECH does the screen have gorilla glass
@@RADERTECH Very interesting - the whole 400/500 nits thing is quite misleading. You see a lot of paid reviewers promoting 500 whilst the independents say 400.
With a glossy screen - 400 seems a little low to me.
@@mgalove I saw a couple tests where it's coming in it at around 412 nits for regular content. If you're indoors, it's definitely plenty bright unless you're next to an open window. It's not so great outside though.
Hey Mr. Rader how do I pay..... not available yet in India am in India for time being.....
Hi, thanks for watching,. If I recall correctly, the Book2 had a slight delay in availability last year, so that's likely happening again this year. I think you'll just have to wait it out for a little bit, but it will eventually come.
Not book 2 man book 3 pro 360 I mean...🤦♂️
hello! I really like your content about Samsung.
Could you make a comparison video between the Book2 pro 360 and the Book3 pro 360 on the strength of the magnet on the chassis to hold the Spen,
positions, strength, etc.
I'd be really grateful
Hi, thanks for stopping by again! I'll make sure to include that in the full comparison for you, it should be out in about a week or so. Thanks for the suggestion, very much appreciated. I can describe it quickly here for you as well. You'll have 2 spots on both machines, the back of the lid and towards the front along the trackpad. Both spots hold it well, and the magnetization seems to be the same on this year's as last year's model.
Is 1080p on the 13,3 inch enoth ? or just get the 16 ?
Hi, thanks for watching. Well, that's tough. So the 13.3" model has a PPI of 165, whereas the 16" has a PPI of 210. That's quite a big difference, even considering the difference in screen size. I think 1080p is enough on 13.3", but just barely. I would personally lean on the 16", it would handle thermal throttling better as well. But 13" would be fine, I didn't really mind 1080p on the 15.6" version much.
@@RADERTECH what about the 60Hz ? it's my first PC I need it for university and drawing technical stuff
What do you know about the battery life ?
Hi, thanks for watching. So far, it seems on par with last year's model, and I expect it to improve a bit more as updates finish up over the next few days. But to be honest, it's really too early for me to give you an answer. I had a busy work day, so my time with the machine has been limited so far. I'll have a much better idea in another couple days or so.
@@RADERTECH we need review of battery backup and heating issues
Thank you for this awesome video, I think it's the best review I have watched for book 3 pro 360 until now, could you tell me wich device I should go samsung book 3 pro 360 or macbook pro 16?
Hi, thanks for watching. If you're comparing it to the latest MB Pro 16 M2, then the MB all day. It's a better machine in almost all regards, but is also quite a bit more expensive. But, if pen input is important to you, then that switches things up drastically.
@@RADERTECH MB Pro is amazing machine but it's not for everyone. For me as a .NET developer, it's not an option. I really tryied and it was a big pain even with Parallels, unfortunately. But it's probably the best option for those who are not tied to Windows development.
Is samsung book 3 pro 360 good for video editing 4k videos?
Hey Rader! Loved the video btw. Hows using the big touchpad? Im thinking of moving from a MacBook Pro 16 to this (I recently switched from an iPhone to an S23 Ultra), and Im curious if you think the trackpad can hold its own or compete with the Macbooks?
Im a trackpad only user, so accuracy and responsiveness are huge to me. I havent seen any videos exporing the touchpad much on this machine. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Either way, subscribed! 👊
Thanks for subscribing, and my apologies for the slow reply. We're just getting settled in to a new place, so I took a little break from youtube.
Honestly, I think you'd be disappointed with trackpad on the book3 pro 360, the macbook trackpad blows it away. It's not very precise at time, and it's too darn big really. I would probably stick with the MB given this.
@@RADERTECH Thanks for the confirmation and reply! I'll skip this generation 🙏
Which is faster book 2 has a higher processor speed… idk if I want the new one if it can’t handle much
Hi, thanks for watching! Where are you seeing the 1260p as having a higher clock speed? The base and max (turbo) speeds on the 1360p are both higher, 1.7 and 5ghz, compared to 1.5 and 4.7 max on the 1260p. So far, it looks like the new CPU beats it in nearly every test imaginable, here's some testing data points for you - www.notebookcheck.net/i7-1260P-vs-i7-1360P_14064_14731.247596.0.html
Is the huge price difference really justified??
I don't think so, not at the current price. It's now up to $1,899 here in the US, and that's just ridiculous. It was over $200 cheaper than that when I pre-ordered it, and also traded in a watch 4 to get the cost down more. It's not worth $2,000, I'd just get last year's model on the cheap. I see them going for really low prices on ebay, even brand new. Thanks for watching!
I would have just wanted burgundy to be a color option again 😞
It is too bad they don't offer it anymore. I almost got it last year, but there was a delay in shipping on burgundy units during the pre-order time. it looks so nice! Thanks for watching.
Great unboxing bro, I think I want to sell mine but I don't know how much to sell for, I have the 2 pro 360 but that screen man, sucks. If I do get this, I will decide by tomorrow it will definitely be for 2 or 3 years or longer but I won't be looking to upgrade next year haha
Thanks for stopping by again bro, I appreciate you. I know what you mean by the screen on the book2 pro 360. It's the achilles heel of that machine unfortunately. Such a great machine otherwise though. But man, this new screen is where it's at, it should have been on last year's model. The difference is very noticable.
The resale value on the book2 pro 360 is sadly very low. I'm seeing the maxed out version right now going for around $650 average price, some a little higher. It's hard to believe the price on them has plummeted that much, even considering them being used.
@RADER TECH So I tried to pre order this but for some reason it didn't go through. That being said I work graveyard shift( drive a concrete mixer) and now that I look at the prices it actually looks like it might be better for me to buy it now! Another huge reason for me wanting to get this is to add samsung care , I didn't add it last time and actually broke my screen and had to pay to put a new one and now samsung care is half price ! It's crazy and I'm guessing that the s23 ultra is going to be way cheaper
@@michaelmarquez6133 where is Samsung care ..there is no mention when you buy the book 3 .. and how much will it cost and can be taken later or just when you purchase in our country i see no care package accidental damage
The hinge wobbles less because it's brand new while book 2 pro is old
Hey, thanks for watching! You could be totally right, that's a very good point. I think the new one is a little "tougher" built, all in all though. Not by a huge margin or anything, just a little bit. The part that is quite a bit different is with the thickness of the lid. It's quite a bit thicker on the newer mode.
Good comparison - and looking forward to your full blown review! Giving once again more rigidity to the display seems like an admission of too much flex in 1st gen devices, and still too much in the 2nd generation.
Like with the 2nd gen, there are claims of more than 16gb Ram available, but I´ve yet to see an online store offering that.
Hey, thanks for stopping again, appreciate you! Oh yeah, they definitely know that they messed up with the previous models. The screen was way too thin for most folks, so hopefully this new one is less of a problem. I keep hearing about 32GB options too, but have yet to see one as well.
What is the $ price for this baby?
It's going for $1,299 on Amazon in the US. I tried finding it on Samsung's US site, and I saw mention of all models except the 3. Seems kind of strange. Thanks for stopping by.

They lost me with the thickness and the USB-A port. Seems more retro than an upgrade. No thanks. I'll keep my GB2 pro 360.
Thanks for stopping by. The thickness difference is very small, probably about 1/2 mm larger at the hinge. I've used for quite a while now, and I actually is a pretty big upgrade in a couple key areas. Thermals and battery life.
But, I still recomment you hang on to that gb2 pro 360 becuase of the trackpad. The trackpad on the newer model is too darn big for me, and a lot of other folks. I wish they would have left that alone.
