The Galaxy Book Pro’s screen features an AMOLED screen with a 1080p resolution. Deeper blacks and vivid colours are rendered by a mix of integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics.

The webcam also captures unauthorized users with photo evidence after too many login attempts.

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 adds a few more premium features on top of its similar specs in CPU, memory and integrated graphics. Its fully foldable display is easily the biggest feature which turns the laptop into a hybrid tablet. This is powered by a capacitive touch screen with 15.6-inch or 13.3-inch super AMOLED displays at 1080p. Despite the lack of higher 2K or 4K resolutions, the screen is backed by a higher-end i5/i7 processor and integrated Irix Xe graphics. The Book 360’s screen is also compatible with Samsung’s S Pen, which comes included to let users write, draw and screengrab on the fly. Just like the Note series and Samsung’s other tablets, the S Pen features its own toolbox with shortcuts at the press of a button. The pen will be compatible with content creation apps like the Adobe Suite and Microsoft Office, while it substitutes as a click mouse with accessibility options.

Samsung will be integrating Windows 10 with its own software like Smart Switch, Quick Share and Gallery. Each let phone users upload their data into a cloud for seamless transfer into their Book Pro and Pro 360. Galaxy Tab owners can also use their tablets as a second screen with their laptops. As an added bonus, Samsung Notes will also be unified as an app on Windows 10 between the Book laptop and currently supported Galaxy Note phones.
