Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled the brand new 2021 Galaxy Book laptop series – the Galaxy Book, Galaxy Book Pro, and Galaxy Book Pro 360 – a new generation of Samsung computing technology. With brilliantly vibrant screens and ultralight designs, the completely redesigned 2021 Galaxy Book portfolio combines the power of a PC with the mobile DNA of a Samsung Galaxy smartphone to deliver stunning entertainment, creativity, and mobility.
In collaboration with industry-leading partners Microsoft and Intel, Samsung designed a new approach to mobile computing where PCs, Galaxy, and IoT devices work together with seamless continuity. Built to live at the center of your Galaxy ecosystem, these new Galaxy Book devices are tailor-made for today’s multi-device world backed by a vast ecosystem of connected devices and services. Additionally, both the Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 are Intel® Evo certified.
“Over the last decade, we at Samsung have pioneered countless exciting mobile experiences. New hardware, new software, new ways to stay connected and give you the freedom to live your life to the fullest,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “The new Galaxy Book, Book Pro and Pro 360 are true mobile computing for the connected world, enabling ultra-light, yet mighty portability, boundless connectivity, and a window into your wider Galaxy ecosystem.”
The 2021 Galaxy Book portfolio is designed around the needs and routines of modern mobile-first users to help make day-to-day experiences simpler, smoother, and more intuitive. These laptops are Samsung’s most portable yet — with Galaxy Book[1] weighing 1,610g and measuring 15.4mm, Galaxy Book Pro[2] weighing 870g[3] and measuring 11.2mm, and Galaxy Book Pro 360[4] weighing 1,063g and measuring 11.5mm. That compactness doesn’t come at the expense of durability either, as both PCs are built with the same 6000-series aluminum alloy trusted by leading aerospace manufacturers around the world.
Battery life is also crucial to mobility, and the newest Galaxy Books are built to keep you going through the day. With long-lasting battery[5], you will rarely have to worry about pausing your task to track down an outlet. But if you do need to charge up in a hurry, the Galaxy Book, Book Pro, and Book Pro 360 support 65W Fast charging[6] through a USB-C adapter[7].
You can also experience up to 3x faster Wi-Fi with these next generation Wi-Fi 6E Ready[8] Galaxy Books. Users can enjoy more bandwidth and a fast 6GHz internet connection at home or in the office, making it easier to connect and complete work on the go.
Equipped with cutting-edge hardware, the Galaxy Book Pro and Book Pro 360 are built to take your entertainment to the next level. With Galaxy Book Pro, enjoy your favourite movies on a brilliant AMOLED display, and on the Galaxy Book Pro 360, design, create, and experience everything on a rich, Super AMOLED display complete with touch screen functionality. AMOLED is Samsung’s leading technology featured across the entire mobile portfolio from smartwatches and smartphones, to tablets and PCs.
The Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 also feature an Intelligent Color Engine that automatically fine-tunes your colour depending on the task.[9] Movies and games will also appear vivid and intense in DCI-P3[10] or AMOLED Native colour profiles. For tasks like photo editing where you want your pictures to look true-to-life, the Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 will automatically shift to Adobe RGB, and offer a vibrant, cinematic 100 per cent colour volume[11]. Both displays are also SGS Eye Care-certified[12], producing up to 70% less blue light emissions (comparted to previous Galaxy Books) to reduce eyestrain.
All that beautiful content is complemented by crisp sound from AKG speakers and Dolby Atmos sound to deliver an immersive experience.
All three 2021 Galaxy Book laptops are powered by next-generation hardware, including an 11th Gen Intel® Core processor and Intel® Iris® Xe graphics. The Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 are also certified on the Intel® Evo
platform, providing a leading balance of power, immersive graphics, always-on connectivity, and long-lasting battery life.[13]The Intelligent Performance Manager even adapts to your computer position, environment, and system load, automatically modulating fan noise, temperature, and battery usage to balance performance and power consumption. This helps deliver a smooth experience so you can avoid lag and multitask seamlessly.
“Intel and Samsung are delivering premier computing experiences built on mobility, blazing fast connectivity, and real-world performance – all to help unlock people’s potential,” said Gregory M. Bryant, Intel executive vice president & general manager, Client Computing Group. “With Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360, Samsung is launching some of the best Intel EVO designs on the market, paving a new standard for computing.”
Samsung’s new Galaxy Book devices are also packed with performance-boosting features that make daily work more productive and enjoyable. The reengineered Pro Keyboard increases your speed and comfort with wide keys and rubber domes to provide a satisfying 1mm of travel length in near silence. The keyboards are also equipped with a 23% larger touchpad[14] (than previous 15-inch Galaxy Books) for more room to scroll through websites or pinch to zoom for greater detail. Quick Search software can scan documents for key words, recognize the phonetic equivalent for word characters, and sift through all your files – pulling up relevant results so you spend less time digging through folders.
With Studio Mode, you can create ideal video call environments that help you look your best. Intelligent Noise Cancelling that eliminates ambient noise from your microphone, you will be seen and heard with clarity. With Screen Recorder and Samsung Studio Plus, you can record your screen in combination with your voice, and then polish your videos afterward with easy editing tools.
Galaxy Book Pro 360 also comes with an upgraded S Pen[15]right in the box—now 2.2x thicker[16] for a more true-to-life writing experience. S Pen is great for taking notes during important meetings or classes or unleashing your creativity when you’re off the clock. Sketch freely in the preloaded Clip Studio Paint[17]application that offers professionally styled brush options that mimic real-world creation.
Do more and save time with devices and ecosystems that work better together thanks to close collaboration with Microsoft.
“We’re excited to take the next step forward in our partnership with Samsung,” said Panos Panay, Microsoft chief product officer. “This exciting Windows PC portfolio builds on Samsung’s strength in highly mobile and connected devices and solutions. Together, we’re integrating Windows even deeper within the Galaxy ecosystem to create experiences that are simple, smooth, and stunning. I’m proud to be working together to help our customers stay connected, be more productive, more creative, and discover brand-new possibilities with Samsung and Microsoft.”
This expanded portfolio of 2021 Galaxy Book laptops also works effortlessly with your other Galaxy devices for increased productivity and efficiency. Second Screen[18] allows you to expand your display onto your Galaxy Tab for easier multitasking and productivity with Duplicate and Extend modes. With Link to Windows and Microsoft Your Phone[19] integration, stay focused by taking calls, checking notifications, accessing photos, messages and running up to five apps simultaneously from your smartphone directly on your desktop[20]. You will also have access to your photos from every device in one place, so you can take Super Slow-Mo or Single Take content from your Galaxy smartphone and check them out on the bigger screen of your Galaxy Book, Book Pro or Pro 360. Content will appear on your Galaxy Book laptop in the same format as your Galaxy smartphone.
Galaxy devices are now more connected inside the ecosystem. Easy Bluetooth Connection[21] connects your Galaxy Buds to your Galaxy Book device immediately so you don’t have to change Bluetooth settings back and forth between devices. With Galaxy Book Smart Switch[22], quickly transfer your favourite photos, movies, files, apps and even settings from your existing Windows PC to your Galaxy Book device so you can get back to creating and connecting faster. Quick Share[23]on the Galaxy Book laptops allows you to share content between your Galaxy devices or with classmates and coworkers with just a few clicks. Simply drag and drop multiple files and content between your Galaxy Book device and your Galaxy smartphone with near instant transfer. Additionally, with the auto-synced Samsung Notes between Galaxy devices, you can jot down an idea and view it on any other compatible device whenever you have a moment of creative inspiration.
The new Galaxy Book portfolio also doubles as the ultimate smart home hub with seamless SmartThings integration. With the SmartThings app on Galaxy Book, Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360, turn off the lights, change the temperature, or even start kitchen appliances – all from your own couch. With SmartThings Find, quickly locate Bluetooth-paired Galaxy smartphone, tablet or wearables so you can worry less about losing devices.
