I do like this laptop. It's fast, stylish, and responsive. My two big issues with it: 1. Having two settings. Its a bit cumbersome to change Samsung setting and/or Windows setting separately. It would make more sense that Samsung settings live in the Windows OS app. 2. The function keys are not permanently locked. Having to turn the functions on/off is annoying when on Dell or HP, you simply turn the brightness up or down by hitting the key in the top section. With these laptops, I have to hit FN+F12 to then be able to simply adjust settings. Please fix Samsung!!
The Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 has turned out to be exactly the kind of do‑everything laptop I was hoping for: thin, premium, incredibly versatile, and surprisingly powerful for how light it is. From the first time I picked it up, the combination of the sturdy metal build and the gorgeous 16‑inch 3K Dynamic AMOLED touchscreen made it feel more like a high‑end creative workstation than a typical everyday notebook. Design and display The design is slim, solid, and feels genuinely premium in daily use, with the 360‑degree hinge letting me flip between laptop, tent, and tablet modes without any wobble or flex. The 16‑inch 2880 x 1800 AMOLED display is easily my favorite part: colors look rich, blacks are inky, and the 120 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling, drawing, and even just moving windows feel incredibly smooth. The anti‑reflective coating is a real quality‑of‑life upgrade, because I can comfortably use it in bright rooms and near windows where other glossy laptops usually struggle. Performance and Battery life For everyday productivity, the Intel Core Ultra processor and Intel Arc graphics handle my workload without breaking a sweat, whether I’m juggling dozens of browser tabs, office apps, or light creative work. Multitasking feels snappy and responsive, and the laptop stays relatively quiet and cool even during heavier sessions, which makes it easy to use on the couch or in a coffee shop. Battery life has been a standout: this machine is built to go many hours away from an outlet, which matches independent testing that shows very long video and productivity runtimes on this model. 2‑in‑1 experience and S Pen The 2‑in‑1 form factor feels thoughtfully implemented rather than gimmicky, and I actually use tablet mode more than I expected for reading, note‑taking, and media. The included S Pen is accurate and responsive, with good palm rejection, so handwriting, annotating PDFs, and quick sketches feel natural and smooth. Having pen support built in, without needing to buy anything extra, makes this laptop especially useful for students, professionals, and anyone who likes to think on a digital canvas. Audio, connectivity, and everyday use The quad‑speaker system with Dolby Atmos delivers clear, immersive sound that’s more than good enough for streaming, video calls, and casual media without reaching for headphones. I also appreciate the thoughtful port selection: dual Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, USB‑A, and a headphone jack give me the flexibility to plug into external monitors, storage, or peripherals without living in dongle world.[1] Features like the fingerprint reader for Windows Hello and modern Wi‑Fi 7 support round out the experience and make it feel like a truly next‑generation Windows machine. Overall impression Overall, the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 feels like a carefully balanced blend of performance, battery life, and portability, wrapped in a sleek 2‑in‑1 design that genuinely adds value instead of just checking a box. If someone is looking for a premium Windows laptop that can comfortably handle productivity, content creation, and entertainment while also doubling as a large tablet with an excellent pen experience, this is exactly the kind of device I'd recommend.
Overall im happy wiht this device. There are some build quality defects but nothing that stopping the computer from working. I use this for schoola nd so lighter gaming. it handles Forza Horizon 5 every will even on high graphics. The OLED screen wiht native 120hrz is amazing fro just about anything. I do wish i could option this with the 32 gigs of ram but so far I haven't needed more than 16. Havign the option to flip the screen into tablet mode is nice to have. I do wish the Spen it came wiht was bluetooth. The pen is just kinda usless and the magnets to hold it arnt the strongest so it gets lost regularly. I got mine on sale but for that price I would have expected the build quality to be better. But what this thing packs inside makes up for most of it. After writting this is see that they now offer 32gigs of ram for the por 360. kinda annoyed at that, dont see why couldn't offer that from the beggining.
