Having owned (and still use) a 2017 model Samsung laptop (convertible with s-pen), I have confidence that these devices too would be good (fingers crossed). I would love to go for the Ultra: with its 16 inch AMOLED display, full HDMI out, headphone jack (yes, it does matter still) amazing NVIDIA GPU options, ample RAM and CPU power and overall and light and sleek compared to the standard gaming fare. If there are no thermal or throttling issues, then what is there not to love this model? Perfect for some data science and 3D visualisation work and yet light enough to carry around everywhere! Waiting for some more in-depth reviews before making a decision!
Has there been any models since that have all the features of yours? (The fingerprint sensor, wireless chsrging touchpad, the folding screen to convert to a tablet and a built in s pen) just wondering cause as far as ive seen the original (i think it was called the flexbook) is the only interesting one
@@SuperMelphis I haven't been keeping track but I think Samsung did have a range of convertible laptop models with s-pen and touch screen over the years. I bought mine in late 2017 (unfortunately just before they released the 2018 range) while I lived in Korea and still use it quite often.
The Ultra looks very interesting, but I'm concerned on how Samsung is going to deal with temperatures and throttling with a Core i9 and RTX 4070 in such a small factor.
@@-_YouMayFind_- I don't trust it until i see it. I've managed to test powerful laptops that could not stand long work sessions. Previous Gen. Dell Precision laptops, with Quadro GPU for examples had terrible heat dissipation systems, and when I had to render long video files, sometimes I was experiencing forced shutdown for excessive temperatures.
In these new books because of higher resolution, the power-hungry Processing and the Dedicated GPU, It will be intresting to see how long the Battery will last ? I own the Book pro 2 whcih has 1080p resoultion & intel i7 12gen with 68Wh battery gives me around 7~8 hrs on average usage. looking forward for battery test video.
Can i have it with linux? Can I have a laptop which I can upgrade myself Is it repairable so ir wont end up in landfill within three years because it stuck toether ? Has it go spytelemetry onboard or on the chip so its too insecure to meet the new EU CE certification ? Since samsung is producing ARM chips and risc 5 chips why use intel chips anymore? Has it got two ssd slots? Has it got a full size SD slot ? Has it got a replaceable ram and wireless card ?
I suppose these laptops are made for people who do not want a lot of flexibility in lieu of the portability - more like a mobile phone or a tablet - but with Windows. There are lots of options for people who like their devices to be very user-configurable even if they are a bit clunky: would suggest going for one of those. The customer base for Galaxy Book/Macbook kind of laptops are happy to forego the configurability and ports for the sleekness and lightness.
Hum. No windows hello, something that lives happily in my super think and light 13" spectre from a couple years ago. IDK man. Maybe they couldn't work around the OLED w/o a notch
The 360 is fairly Niche IMO. I know 2 people with convertable laptops and they never use the feature. You also are just guessing on the heat. The ultra has extra venting. Back up your claims with data or gtfo.
@@Itsjustanopinionchill Having owned a convertible Samsung with s-pen myself for more than 5 years, I totally agree about the infrequent use-as-a-tablet part. Though I still would love a near 180 degree hinge as it makes it so much more convenient to work propping the laptop up on a stand: helps keep your neck straight without needing to use an external display - though you still would need a keyboard and mouse pair, for which I love using a small, low-profile mechanical.
What do you gain not having a dedicated power port? How common is a dongle that can deliver even 100W. And there are notebooks that has 140W power over thunderbolt, with up to 240w to come.
Yes, my 1,4 K $ Asus V has HDMI 2.1, and slightly better - 600 maximum brightness (candela) but I felt like robbed, about the same resolution, slightly heavier 1,6 Kg, and 14,5 inches diagonal.
It is not a regular LED display. Of course an AMOLED display would have a limitation on the total brightness and for a longer life of the display, I would not even push it up to 400 ever. For people working with their laptops predominantly outdoors, going for a LCD display would be a better option than these devices anyway.
They're putting RTX 4000 chips in these. RTX 4050 & 4070. Have fun paying $2,400 and $3000 for them; those are the official prices 😝 Thats why I went w/ a Razer Blade 14 w a 3070 (used but in excellent shape, way less $$)
@@zerocal76 If you bought used don't brag about how you got a better deal. Everyone can buy a thrashed up laptop for dirt cheap and call it a good deal.

@Darren Hankner dude 120hz is pointless. Before you say have you ever used one. Why would I want to? I have to 1440p monitors one at 144hz and one at 165hz. There are 4k monitors that go up to 144hz. So stop pushing for 120hz. Display port is also far better than HDMI
@@evacody1249 I'm still on 2k monitors 2 of them. 32 inch Samsung and AOC. 4k monitors still too pricy for me. So I dont worry about 4k or even 8k monitors for now. But of course Dan who does all the videos for Macrumors needs to have the latest and greatest 8k TV set in his house hooked up as a monitor. I'm frugal. I always will be.
It's oled so those blacks are as black as black will get on a display. Can't judge a display through a camera to youtube to whatever type of screen you're using

throttle big time....even with dedicated graphic card at half of the capacity wattage

@@Gabriel_Drake well on 17 feb lets just hope they got it right
The 4070 can be configured to use as little as 35 watts, so the moniker is misleading. It probably won't be all that quick
I don't understand how the 13th gen i-9 and rtx 4070 is light game play?

Gimped power delivery and choked thermals
Hows the Fan from galaxy book 3 pro 14" ? From book 2 it was laudly. It still often was high push
Awesome stuff

PSA: The Ultra's price class competition has HDMI 2.1, while this Samsung has HDMI 2.0.
Exactly. MacBook pros have 2.1
It's for occasional use anyways.
Buy Asus, MSI , or Razer, Acer. These Samsung people are Clever.
Does not matter about the HDMI when the locked the SSD and ram into the laptop.

Only 400 nits? Wtf, is this 2019?
Yea, my Asus reaches up to 600 !

@ArthropodSpidey but its Amoled
1.899,00€ for the 14" Galaxy Book3 Pro with 16GB RAM... MAC prices for Windows Laptops...
Yes so? so only apple is allowed to have high prices is that what you are trying to say. You can not even play proper games on MacBooks lol.

4000$ as starting price probably

When I hear HDMI 2.0 I raise my eyebrow, when I hear 1.4 I turn off the video.
When I hear HDMI and 120hz on a 4k TV I laugh
What is the problem with that?
Where is 5G connectivity for USA?
The display “chin” though 🥶🥶🥶🥶😱😱😱😱
They might have designed it in 2019 😂😂😂😂
2023 and no HDMI 2.1 is a proper flop :(
They all have hdmi 😂🤦🏻
@@jmoney19905 yes.. but 1.4 or 2.0 what ageing hardware without high refresh-rate support.
No Pause and Menu keys. ☹️
I use the Menu key a lot.
Also, I miss the HD LED on all newer notebooks...
No DeX keys either. Not even the Recents, Home, and Back keys.
Describe exactly how the word "professional" pertains to this device.
wow. no HDMI 2.1. just 2.0. A great laptop just flunked my test. Just like what Apple did with the M1 Macs. lousy 2.0 HDMI.

Do all of them come with an oled display?
Design looks like from 2010, and displays are without any anti-glare coating. blacks are gray. crap.
it’s oled, how would the blacks look gray
@@Jason-wl9rr ...due to light reflections on a glossy display. Samsung went cheap as some anti-glare OLEDs are out there but are more expensive.
