At Samsung’s Unpacked event<\/a><\/span>\u00a0on Feb. 4, the electronics giant announced the new Galaxy Book 3 Ultra laptop alongside its latest flagship Galaxy S23 phones<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like Samsung’s top Galaxy Ultra phones<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablet<\/a><\/span>, the Ultra laptop will have powerful performance, a ton of features and a killer display. But like the other Ultra devices, the Ultra laptop might be more computer than you need. Samsung also has the Galaxy Book 3 Pro and Pro 360, which are a notch below the Ultra in performance, but have a lot of features in common, along with their own added extras.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Book 3 Ultra is undeniably the star, though, and thankfully it fixes two things I didn’t like about the otherwise excellent Galaxy Book 2 Pro models<\/a><\/span>. One issue was their displays. While they had great-looking AMOLED panels, they were 16:9, 1080p widescreens; most premium laptops use higher-resolution 16:10 panels that give you more vertical space. The 16-inch Galaxy Book 3 Ultra makes the jump to 16:10. It’s still an AMOLED panel, too, so you’re going to get amazing color and contrast. Plus it has a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother-looking video; its resolution is 2,880×1,800 pixels.<\/p>\n

The second issue I had with the Book 2 Pro was that Samsung didn’t offer a strong discrete graphics option for its laptop and none at all for the Galaxy Book Pro options for discrete graphics and frankly if you’re going to call something “Pro” you should offer something stronger than integrated graphics. That doesn’t change with the Book 3 Pro models, but the Ultra will have either an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 or 4070 graphics chip and they’ll be paired with a 13th-gen Intel Core i7 or i9 processor, respectively, giving the Ultra some pro-level laptop performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those components drive the price up considerably, with the Core i7 and RTX 4050 configuration starting at $2,200<\/a><\/span> and the Core i9 and RTX 4070 pairing going for $2,800<\/a><\/span>. (Pricing and availability weren’t announced for the UK or Australia, but the entry price converts to \u00a31,950 and AU$3,400.) You get a lot of other great features for those prices like a 1080p webcam, a quad-speaker audio system, a fingerprint reader on the power button and a larger 76-watt-hour battery. The Ultra also has more ports than the Galaxy Book 2 Pro, with a USB-A port and HDMI 2.0 output joining its two Thunderbolt USB-C ports, microSD card slot and headphone jack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
