Samsung introduces Galaxy Book2 Pro and Book2 Pro 360 with S Pen in April
Samsung will release two new laptops in April: the Galaxy Book2 Pro and the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360. The Book2 Pro 360 has an S Pen and the Book2 Pro has a 5G variant. However, no release date is mentioned for the latter, so it may not be on the market here.
The two models that will come on the market are the 13.3″ variants of the Book2 Pro and the Book2 Pro 360. There are also 15.6″ variants. The Pro and the Pro 360 in question come with an unspecified twelfth generation Intel Core i7 processor, a 16GB lpddr5 memory and a 512GB SSD.
There are also a few other differences. The 360 variant has a super-amoled screen that can flip further, while the non-360 variant has to make do with an amoled screen without HDR support. In addition to the display, the 360 variant seems to have a faster SSD on board. Furthermore, there are small differences in dimensions and weight and the 360 variant is available in an additional color. Finally, the 360 variant swaps a USB-A port for a USB-C port. There doesn’t seem to be a storage lock for the S Pen.
The 15.6-inch variants of the Book2 Pro and Book2 Pro 360, for which no release date has been announced, will offer optional Intel Arc GPUs, 5G support, numpads and a slightly larger battery with a capacity of 68Wh in addition to larger screens. Furthermore, there is a variant of both the 13.3″ and 15.6″ models with a twelfth generation i5 instead of an i7. The working memory can vary from 8GB to 32GB. The storage varies from 256GB to 1TB.
The 13.3″ variants of the Galaxy Book2 Pro and Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 will be available from April 1, for suggested retail prices of EUR 1449 and EUR 1549 respectively.
