Samsung lines up new family of thin and light Galaxy Book models, including Pro 360 model with S Pen support
Samsung has updated the Galaxy Book family of laptops, with a selection of new thin and light notebooks designed to address a range of needs.
These notebooks are designed to expand Samsung's ecosystem, providing a seamless interaction between Samsung devices, using services Link to Windows to get your phone appearing on your laptop and easy connectivity for accessories like the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro.
With a new 65W USB-C charger to power these notebooks, you'll be able to use the same charger for all your Samsung devices, meaning there's less to carry when you're on the move.

collection: Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360
Then you have the Galaxy Book Pro 360. This model is slightly different, offering a 2-in-1 display, with touchscreen and S Pen support, meaning it's a lot more versatile. It's also an AMOLED display - and is available in 13.3 and 15.6-inch models.
Power still comes from the 11-gen Intel Core i5/i7, up to 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD storage. In terms of connectivity things are slightly reduced from the regular Pro, with USB-C (3x, one supporting Thunderbolt 4) and microSD.
The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 will start from £1199 for the 13.3-inch i5 8/512GB version and range up to £1499 for the 15.6-inch i7 15/516GB model.
All Galaxy Book models offer a 3.5mm headphone socket, 720p camera and dual array mic, while all also offer Dolby Atmos sound.
They're also finished in aluminium, but the Galaxy Book Pro also uses magnesium to keep the weight down.
We're expecting a range of other variants of these models to come in different regions - and Samsung also told us that options for 5G connectivity would be introduced later in 2021.
The new Samsung Galaxy Book family is up for pre-order from 28 April 2021, with general retail availability from 14 May.
