Samsung’s new Galaxy Book is official and offers a choice of five CPUs
Samsung has announced the Galaxy Book, a.k.a.
the most powerful Galaxy device earlier today, though that’s somewhat of a broad statement given the wide variety of Galaxy Book configurations that have been revealed today.
At best, the Galaxy Book can be equipped with a CPU as powerful as the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 / i5 / i3, but the same notebook will also be offered with a more budget-conscious Intel Pentium Gold or Intel Celeron processor under the hood.
Graphics performance will vary depending on the CPU and / or whether or not the notebook has an on-board or a dedicated GPU. The Intel i5 and i7 models will ship with an Intel Iris Xe GPU, whereas the Intel i3 / Pentium Gold / Celeron processors will offer Intel UHD Graphics. Samsung will also sell a variant with a dedicated GeForce MX450 graphics chip.
Quick Share finally comes to laptops with Samsung’s latest range
Quick Share is a short-distance file sharing service that Samsung originally introduced with its Galaxy smartphones. The feature is quite similar to Wi-Fi Direct.
It can be used to share images, documents, videos, links, etc now between compatible Samsung laptops as well as between these laptops and Galaxy devices.
Samsung brings Quick Share to laptops
Quick Share greatly simplifies the way files can be shared between compatible devices. It eliminates the need to connect the devices via the internet or through physical cables.
Usually, when we’re out and about, it can be a pain to transfer files from phone to PC. Most users would just email the file to themselves or use a cloud sharing service. The entire process is cumbersome and time-consuming.
The Galaxy Book Pro is officially one of the world’s lightest laptops
Samsung has unveiled its trio of Galaxy-branded notebooks earlier today, consisting of the Galaxy Book, the Galaxy Book Pro, and the Galaxy Book Pro 360. The first is an entry-level notebook that can be powered by Celeron / Pentium Gold CPUs, while the latter is a convertible device with a 360-degrees hinge.
The Galaxy Book Pro is the more conventional notebook with decent specs and a non-touchscreen design, though it’s almost breaking conventions thanks to its lightweight construction. It’s launching in two sizes (13.3-inch and 15.6-inch) and three CPU configurations. The laptop can be equipped with an 11th Gen Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 processor and 8GB / 16GB / 32GB of LPDDR4x RAM. Storage can go as high up as 1TB NVMe.
This is what the Galaxy Book Odyssey with GeForce RTX graphics costs
Tech launch events rarely hold any surprises nowadays, but somehow Samsung had managed to keep one new Galaxy device under wraps up until today when it was unveiled for the first time at Galaxy Unpacked April 2021. As expected, the device is part of the Galaxy Book family, and surprisingly enough, it’s not an entry-level device that Samsung was able to keep in secret. On the contrary, the Galaxy Book Odyssey is the costlier model from the bunch.
Samsung revealed today that the basic Galaxy Book model will go on sale for $549, whereas the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360 with 13.3-inch displays will hit the shelves for $999 and $1,199, respectively.
