Apple has made great strides in the laptop market since releasing their Macbook Pro M1, with its revolutionary new processing chip, but Samsung is not far behind them. Being the unquestioned number 2 in the world of laptop manufacturing, Samsung has something to prove, and this is reflected in their newest model. Everything from the aesthetics to the internals of this device are very impressive, and we are going to explore these features in more detail.
Here are some of the coolest features of the new Samsung Galaxy Book Pro:

2-in-1 design
This is a trend that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, as many laptops are now using this convertible design. 2-in-1 designs are very popular with customers, as they receive both a laptop and a tablet for a single price. This means you can work on your laptop as normal, then switch to the tablet configuration for design work or to watch movies.
The 2-in-1 design makes this device incredibly well-suited to design work because it acts as a high-tech drawing pad. The device also comes loaded with design software to really bring your digital artwork to life.
Lightweight and durable
Samsung claims that this laptop is as thin as a smartphone, yet uses military-grade materials for maximum durability. The device measures just 11.5mm in width and weighs slightly over 1kg, making it one of the most compact laptops Samsung has ever designed.
Display
The display of Samsung’s Galaxy Book Pro is also impressive. Boasting a true-to-life, 15.6” touchscreen display with 120% colour volume, you won’t be sure whether you’re looking at a screen or through a window.
Another great aspect of the display is the integrated protections from blue-light and eye strain, as this device is SGS Eye-Care Certified.
Galaxy ecosystem
Much like how Apple’s products are designed in such a way that they can work together and communicate, Samsung also designs its products to be compatible with each other. You can quickly pair all your various Samsung devices, using tablets as additional screens and syncing your data across all devices. You can also connect your device to various home appliances and create a ‘smart home’.
Ergonomics
This computer doesn’t just focus on performance, much care and attention has been paid to the ergonomics of the design, making it a pleasure to operate. The keys on this notebook are curved and wide, which allows you to type faster and more comfortably. It also has the easy-on-the-eyes display, in addition to noise cancelling features that enable you to make calls without the annoying background noise.
After looking at this impressive list of features, I’m certainly considering selling my laptop and purchasing an upgrade.
