Samsung Galaxy Book Pro
From £1100/$1000 https://www.samsung.com
Samsung’s Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360 laptops are available in 13.3-inch or 15.6-inch screen sizes, but the Pro 360’s display can hinge right back and around to sit against the rear of the laptop to create a tablet-like device. Both run Windows 10 and feature 4G and 5G connectivity for mobile internet without the need to tether to your smartphone. Portability is key. The smaller Galaxy Book Pro 13-inch weighs only 870g and measures a mere 11.2mm. Despite this, Samsung is claiming military-grade durability, as each device is constructed from 6000series aircraft-grade aluminium. Viewing photos should be a real pleasure thanks to the devices sporting a Super AMOLED display. Another potentially invaluable feature for photographers is Samsung’s Intelligent Color Engine feature, which can automatically change the screen’s colour profile to suit the current open software.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
These are the first Windows laptops to be equipped with AMOLED screen tech but the 1920x1080 resolution may feel a bit lacklustre.
