Both the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360 are powered by 11th generation Intel processors.
Galactic Book Pro 360
For the Galaxy Book Pro 360, there’s the Intel Iris X graphics card on the i7 and i5 models, and the lower-end Intel UHD Graphics on the i3 model.
While you can’t do graphics-intensive tasks with an Iris GPU, both options have a Thunderbolt 4 port, so you can connect an external GPU and push those 11-gen CPUs to the limit.
Galaxy Book Pro
The Galaxy Book Pro offers identical specifications in terms of processor and GPU. However, an Nvidia GeForce MX450 option is available for the 15-inch model.
These variants also have a Thunderbolt 4 port, so external GPUs can also help hide GPU usage.
Both models have the same memory and storage capacity, with minor differences.

The 13-inch variant has two options in terms of RAM, namely 8GB and 16GB LPDDR4x memory. For the 15-inch model, there is also an additional option of 32 GB.
From a storage perspective, you get up to 1TB of NVMe SSD storage, which should be fast enough to keep up with the rest of your system.

Memory options are identical here, with users having the choice of 8, 16 and 32 GB LPDDR4x RAM. Again, the 13- and 15-inch variants feature NVMe SSDs with a maximum capacity of 1 TB.
Samsung has equipped these devices with connectivity options ranging from Wi-Fi 6 to 5G capabilities.

The 13-inch variant features 5G and 6E Ready Wi-Fi capabilities to help users take full advantage of current 6GHz Wi-Fi connections. As you would expect, Bluetooth 5.1 is supported.
The 15-inch variant decodes identically, except it doesn’t have 5G capabilities.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features are carried over from the Galaxy Book Pro 360 with Wi-FI 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, but the 13-inch variant gets LTE support instead of 5G; the 15-inch version forgoes this altogether.
In the news: Security flaws in Apple AirDrop can lead to user data leaks.
Both models and all four variants feature an AMOLED screen with FHD (1920×1080) resolution. On paper, this may not seem like much, but given AMOLED screens, it should be pretty sharp.
The screens are SGS certified for eye protection and produce less blue light than standard LCD screens. DCI-P3 or AMOLED color profiles are also available.
The audio system is also identical on both models and in all four variants. You get AKG speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
The two models offer two different battery capacities. The 13-inch variants of the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 36 come with a 63 watt-hour battery, while the 15-inch variants come with a 68 watt-hour battery. All devices in the range support 65W USB Type-C fast charging.
Both laptops are pretty well equipped with a number of ports.

They look like ports in both versions: Thunderbolt 4, two USB Type-C, a 3.5mm combo headphone and a microphone. The mobile variant has a nano-sim lock. The Galaxy Book Pro 360 also has a microSD card slot in both variants.

Again, there’s a Thunderbolt 4, two USB Type-C, a microSD slot, a 3.5mm headset-microphone combination, and an option for mobile connectivity – a nano-sim slot.
The difference is that the Galaxy Book Pro has an extra USB 3.2 port on the 13- and 15-inch variants.
The new Pro keyboard is also available in all four variants. They also share their ports, namely a Thunderbolt 4, USB Type-C, classic USB 3.2, a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo, and mobile connectivity options benefit from a nano-sim slot.
The only difference is that the Galaxy Book Pro 360 has a MicroSD card slot in both variants, while the Galaxy Book Pro has a MicroSD card slot only in the 15-inch variant.
Both models feature a fingerprint sensor on the power button to support Windows Hello and have the same 720P camera with a built-in dual array microphone.
And of course, being a convertible, the Galaxy Book Pro 360 supports the S Pen, which is included.
At the end of the event, Samsung also announced a budget variant, the Galaxy Book, which will be released in Canada in 15.6-inch with the 11th Gen i3 for $859.
