Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 laptop, featuring Intel’s latest Lunar Lake CPU. 

The Pro 360 is Samsung’s first device in its Galaxy Book5 series, and it closely resembles its predecessor—the Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360.

The main difference between the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 and the Galaxy Book 4 Pro is that the newer model features Intel Core Ultra 5/7 (Series 2) chips with an 8-core/8-thread design. These new processors feature Intel Xe2-based Arc 130V graphics, which, according to Intel, are the most powerful integrated graphics found in any Windows laptop, and an NPU capable of up to 47 TOPS for handling AI workloads. However, the Intel Core Ultra 5 chip supports only up to 40 TOPS.

The inclusion of the Intel Lunar Lake CPU means the RAM is LPDDR5X instead of LPDDR5. Additionally, the RAM is integrated into the chip, so you won’t have the option to upgrade the RAM on your laptop after purchase.

Samsung has confirmed that over 100 productivity apps will be able to leverage the onboard NPU for faster AI performance. In addition to this, other important specifications of the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 include:

  • USB-A (3.2), HDMI 2.1 (supports 8K@60Hz, 5K@120Hz), 2 x Thunderbolt™ 4, Micro SD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack
  • S Pen
  • 76 Wh battery offering 25 hours of video playback on a single charge
  • 2MP (1080p FHD) camera
  • 65W charging
  • Bluetooth v5.4
  • Wi-Fi 7

The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 will also feature all the Galaxy AI capabilities, such as Chat Assistant, Circle to Search, Live Translate, and Transcript Assistant. Additionally, you will have the benefit of Samsung Knox protection. The device will be available in select markets, including Canada, France, Germany, the UK, and the US.

Samsung has yet to announce an exact release date—the Samsung Newsroom only mentioned that the laptop will be available starting in September; however, the exact date remains unknown. Also, there is no official confirmation on the pricing of the laptop.
