Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 (Lunar Lake) - In the Studio!!

[@andrewmarcdavid]

**UPDATE** I ran some updates and have new benchmark for Geekbench 6: Single-Core 2,567 Multi-Core 10,454

[@NANA-qn8on]

It's black Friday weekend and this laptop is $1499 on Samsung's site. I almost pulled the trigger and bought it, but I'll wait for your future reviews as the best laptop reviewer on youtube. Thanks for this.

[@aakashbhosale9140]

Again they are only going to release 16GB version only, They did the same with Book 4 pro 360 as well. People really demanding 32GB variant but they are just ignoring it. Will go for Lenovo or Asus with Lunar lake😐 Also price point is too high compared to others.

[@harryp3804]

​@@galeaarkanderthis samsung shizz is maximum expensive and they put lowest power chips in the category to steal from us even more. Pathetic Samsung Korean Greed...

[@Jingz251]

They have a 32gb on amazon f9r book 4

[@akhmadbarizilhak2399]

Maybe Samsung wants more affordable laptop for their latest lineup, the more RAM the more money. Instead of it, you can upgrade by yourself

[@amigosan]

@@akhmadbarizilhak2399 RAM is integrated in the CPU with those core ultra 2xx so not possible and samsung have been misleading by marketing this laptop with the 258v (32gb ram) but only selling the 256v variant (16gb ram)

[@corneliusjermainehightower7539]

Why would you need 32? What type of job requires that much? I really don’t know that’s why I’m asking to get a bit of clarity.

[@bobzhu8528]

Love to watch your review. What a busy week for you!

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Thanks and yes its been busy for sure!

[@williamcohen3351]

For Samsung this appears to be a good pc. My usual gripe with this is the poorly designed numpad. They should redesign it or remove it. If they remove it they could then center the keyboard and TouchPad which would make the layout much better. Display looks very good. Camera looked good and speakers sounded good. Great preliminary review. With all the reviews you put out recently I guess it keeps you out of "mischief". Seriously appreciate all the hard work you put into these reviews.

[@akin242002]

This laptop with a Samsung phone is nice! Not great for power users, but good for most people with light or mid needs.

[@cuz129]

I'm watching this on my just received Galaxy book 5 pro 360. The video camera looked very good! I love mine! Nice content!

[@rafaelperez9652]

It looks like a very nice laptop from Samsung. Nice port selection, gorgeous AMOLED display, great overall build quality device. Not sure if your other viewers noticed it but I thought the colors of the webcam looked somewhat dull and washed out to me. Perhaps it needs a software update to fix it. You're right about the speaker quality sounding better on this laptop than on past iteration. The audio quality of the mics is clear. Interested in you putting this laptop through its paces in studio. Thank you Andrew for the first look of the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 (Lunar Lake) for 2024! 👍😁

[@samwise8731]

I am a heavy Samsung user. I have the ZFold5, Samsung earbud, but an ASUS laptop. I wanted the Samsung laptop but they didn't have a high RAM version. I need at least 32GB.

[@bassheadlife492]

Get the ultra

[@logicalpolice]

Same. I want a 14 inch with 32 GB of ram and 1 TB of storage,

[@zeussz1192]

Same requirements for me also

[@nero_kwadio9584]

Hi, Andrew, thank you so much for reviewing this laptop, I've been waiting for this since the official announcement, I hope you'll give as many details as possible about the performances, whether it's in Gaming, video editing and especially the fan noise, thanks again!

[@strummusic2561]

Seriously, the really dropped the ball if they dont offer a 32Gb version.

[@Pandahhhhhhhh]

​@@dankmemes3153apparently Korea gets it's. Annoys me different region features, UK got the book4 with 5g

[@DavidGillooly]

Thanks for the quick update. Looks like a fine laptop. But on a $1700 laptop wny did Samsung not include an IR camera for face recognition ? Touch pad has been a thorn in the side of some users. I don't even use a Mac M1's trackpad and prefer to carry and use a BT mouse. I am a bit of an odd user!

[@haorantao612]

Would you also test the MSI Summit A16 AI+ 2-in-1? It's the only 16-inch Zen 5 2-in-1 laptop out there.

[@gebauzchris]

Have the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 13 inch and love it, and Lunar Lake seems to solve the only issues I have with it (mostly battery life actually). I wish they'd still release a 13 or 14 inch version of it. The 13 inch GB2 Pro 360 is so light, just a hair over 1 kilogram.

[@thebluegeek1701]

no 32GB configuration and a diving board touchpad is a no go. I'm happy with the keyboard layout with the numpad. been waiting to buy one as my on the go device. but that 16GB of memory... not good. eager to so the performance of the chip and the cooling system. but I do have a question, what does it do when you just close the lid and leave it for several hours? does it go to hibernation mode or it stays in sleep mode. if it stays in sleep mode (opening it up shows lockscreen at once) how much battery it drains in 8 hours? btw, thank you for your videos bro, I watch all of'em I didn't even bother to ask other reviewers, cuz you know, you always do the detailed ones.

[@grace9688]

Always love your reviews!! The link in the description didn't work.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

I just check and it worked for me

[@AgoD17]

Could you test if the S Pen that comes with the Galaxy S24 Ultra works with it? Thanks!!!

[@RassamFanan]

Thank you for reviewing this, I’m waiting for your next on performance. I’m pretty sure the architecture can handle graphic design apps, but will it handle video editing?

[@TheNewCatacombs]

I am a MacBook Pro user that will need to purchase a Windows laptop soon. I am looking for build quality/keyboard that feels similar to the M series MBP's. I recently tried a Surface laptop at Best Buy, and it was the closest I've found to that. How close does this Samsung Galaxy Book5 get to that? Any suggestions?

[@crazyelf1]

The display is the strongest part about this laptop. I think that they need to offer more RAM options and I would like the touchpad to be fully haptic.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Fully agree

[@Stiitchjones]

They just need to do something about that screen wobble, especially for a flip convertible. Apple has that down on the Macbooks.

[@VladdyDaddy369]

Hi Andrew! The feedback I'm looking fwd to the most is regarding the trackpad and palm rejection issues. I have owned the 16" GB4P 360 as well as the 16" GB4Edge and the trackpad has been the Achilles heel for all Samsung 16" laptops, specifically the horrendous lack of palm rejection causing a miserable and frustrating typing experience with that comically oversized trackpad in the way.... If samsung somehow found a way to magically resolve this, it would be a game changer. Thanks!

[@MichałDejnas-z3p]

Could you please check if the fonts are sharp on that display and whether you can see pixels? To me, it looks like the resolution is not high enough for that screen size. How about the brightness?

[@adibzuhdi3786]

Does this laptop has their SIM Card slot and 5G capability?

[@Matt369oi]

Great review! I'm on the fence for pulling the trigger on this laptop, only because it doesn't have a full size SD card slot.

[@bravestbullfighter]

Remove the numpad since I use top row number keys and offer 32GB version and I'll consider it as a replacement for my 32GB Yoga Slim 7i Aura.

[@garycoleman8906]

Did the Book4 Pro and Book 4 Pro 360 also have the same anti glare coating?

[@azhyhama9649]

Does the screen move or bend when in 360 and palm on it for writing? I heard stories where previous ones broke.

[@StYfReX]

The 3 and 4 version hinges breaking the display and not being a 32gb is the deal breaker for me. I also watched the HP videos of the 14” one, but if wish it was 15 or 16” so it had more battery. I hope asus or Lenovo can make a good 360

[@ismaelrivera1999]

Loving it

[@curiousthor]

1)Cost and variants??? 2) does it come in ARM platform,? (to challenge surface pro?) 3) compare this with HP, DELL, LENOVO,, esp. 360° versions...

[@fakeaccount5349]

For 2) There's no point competing the ARM space when Lunar Lake is getting better efficiency and single core performance and has a much more powerful GPU. Unless you're looking for sheer multi-threaded power while not caring about poor arm compatibility, there's no point in releasing both a Lunar Lake and ARM platform

[@XiLiRTechnologies]

How better is sound from book 4 pro 360 sir

[@DolceArdore]

Does anyone know when the Asus Vivobook 16 Flip OLED (TP3607) will be available to purchase?

[@thebluegeek1701]

one more thing, do you prefer Ryzen AI chips or the new Intel ones and why?

[@hanooi7450]

Can you post the Geekbench number when it is running on battery only? I have a Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 and the 5’s Geekbench is almost the same as the 3’s when it is plugged in on max performance. However, when I unplug my Book 3 the Geekbench number drops by 35%.

[@viniciushoffmann-fotografo4797]

Im waiting for book 5 ultra with these new lunar lake chipsets, hope that it doesnt dissapoint us

[@axis0401]

How would you compare it to Lenovo Slim 7i Aura edition ?

[@Ninja_Samurai-dd3kq]

Samsung products are getting more expensive but compromises many things like ports, performance, cramped num pad, no IR camera etc.

[@sumitdasgupta6462]

Hi Andrew, please do Blender 3D and After-effects test on this device. Ask a professional artist for a real-life file to test them for practical use, Im sure there might be some curious artist willing to help you out. No one else is doing this atm. These kind of 2 in 1 devices are what Motion designers and Modern 2D artists would love to check out. All the artists will be flocking to check out the video.

[@scottdpeterstv]

Motion designers should buy the Ultra with 4079 dGPU and just use a professional pen tablet. I have the SGB4U and use a Xencelabs medium pen tablet that I place over the keyboard deck. Works good since the screen is multi touch enabled so you can draw in your lap and navigate the OS with your fingers. I would LOVE if they made a Ultra version of 360 though with 32 gb of ram and a dGPU

[@sumitdasgupta6462]

@@scottdpeterstv Makes sense. I use a wacom pentab with my PC. But was enticed to see the foldable form factor with the s-pen. Wish they made this with the ultra too.

[@scottdpeterstv]

​​​@@sumitdasgupta6462 I think the ultimate crearor device is probably the Microsoft Surface Studio Laptop 2. I kinda regret not getting that over the Ultra. I know it's not as powerful, but the form factor is perfect. It was just too expensive for the spec. Like over $3K for an i7 and 4060... but now looking back I wish I got that instead. Still, drawing with a tablet over my laptop and navigating the canvas with multi gesture touch is pleasurable and it's a really great display so I can't complain to much.. still not the holy grail but nice. There's always a sacrifice.

[@johnmartin8481]

Thank you for the review and I am a huge fan. I must disagree with you regarding the price and features of the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360. I am not saying that the price is not premium, but there is nothing in the market today that offers a 16-inch AMOLED display for less than $1700 with all the features you speak of. To stay at or under the $1700 price, you give up one or more features. If you want haptic touch pad and 2 terabyte of storage you are limited to a 13 inch display. Or if you want these features all in one laptop you are into the $1900 price range and higher. In my evaluation it will depend on what your requirements are, but Samsung has hit the right balance of price and features with the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360. Let me know if I am missing something here but I am thinking of upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360. Also from my experience the thin and light design of the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is wonderful for a 16-inch AMOLED display 2 in 1 laptop.

[@RAZTubin]

Man! I can't never get a laptop with the configuration I want. I am excited for this laptop but I need 32GB of memory. I am company agnostic, so whoever delivers the first 15" or higher screen, 32GB of memory, 2TB SSD, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and WiFi 7 will get my money. I know Asus has one (Model UX5606SA) on their website but it is not for sale yet.

[@gebauzchris]

Nobody sane is denying that Macbooks offer a massive advantage in performance and battery life, but there may be some additional individual requirements, like for me, the S Pen is absolutely THE selling point for the Galaxy Book 360 variants (their 2-in-1 line). Apple unfortunately does not offer any pen support in any Macbook, only in iPads which do not use full MacOS.
