Samsung Electronics launched its first AI laptop of the year, the 'Galaxy Book5 Pro,' on 2nd.
After being sold exclusively on Samsung.com since its release in October of last year, the 'Galaxy Book5 Pro 360' also began sales in major offline stores and online marketplaces starting from 2nd.
The 'Galaxy Book5 Pro' and 'Galaxy Book5 Pro 360' (hereinafter referred to as 'Galaxy Book5 Series') target domestic consumers with the latest processor 'LunarLake,' which is an essential element of AI laptops, along with differentiated 'Galaxy AI,' and have set out to seize the market.
As the peak season for laptop purchases and gifts approaches with graduations and enrollments, the number of customers seeking the 'Galaxy Book5 Series' is expected to increase even more.
The 'Galaxy Book5 Series' features the latest processor suitable for complex AI computations, providing an outstanding AI experience.
To use smooth AI functions and future support for MS 'Copilot+ PC', a minimum of 40 TOPS (the highest 40 trillion operations per second) of NPU performance is required. The 'Galaxy Book5 Series' is equipped with an Intel 'LunarLake' processor with a maximum performance of 47 TOPS, realizing optimized AI performance.
A high-capacity battery that can be used for up to 25 hours on a single charge is also an advantage, allowing long sessions of work without charging based on excellent power efficiency.
Additionally, it supports a fast and accurate touchscreen to intuitively use various AI features. The high-resolution 'Dynamic AMOLED 2X Touch Display' enhanced by vision booster improves content immersion.
In particular, the 'Galaxy Book5 Pro 360' offers various AI PC usability, such as drawing and refined handwriting, with its 360-degree rotatable display and S Pen.
Alongside this, the new product features the 'AI Select' function based on 'Galaxy AI,' the first of its kind in the Galaxy Book series.
Similar to the 'Circle to Search' feature found in Galaxy smartphones, users can quickly search desired results by drawing a circle on the touchscreen or dragging with a mouse whenever they find an image or text of interest.
Users can extract text from searched images or videos for document work, and by simply drawing a circle around a QR code on the screen, they can easily execute the URL.
Online reviews have appeared, stating that it is convenient to solve issues related to obtaining image information from other sites or recognizing QR codes without going through a smartphone.
The 'Photo Remaster' feature, which allows for meticulous enhancement of old photos or quick upscaling of low-resolution photos using improved NPU performance, is also useful.
Even without separate editing programs, users can open low-resolution photos and select the 'Photo Remaster' function from the menu to improve the quality, with the ability to save the enhanced image.
It is expected to be highly useful as it can clearly enhance low-resolution images found on the web, childhood photos, old business cards, and more.
In addition, the 'Galaxy Book5 Series' enhances convenience and work efficiency through strong consolidation with smartphones and tablets.
By connecting the 'Galaxy Book5 Series' with smartphones through 'Link to Windows', users can utilize 'Galaxy AI' features supported on smartphones, such as 'Circle to Search', 'Photo Assist', 'Note Assist', and 'Real-time Translation' on their laptops.
Samsung Electronics is holding the 'Galaxy Academy Festa,' where consumers can experience the 'Galaxy Book5 Series' with special benefits until March 31.
Customers purchasing either the 'Galaxy Book5 Pro' or 'Galaxy Book5 Pro 360' by 16th will receive a complimentary MS Office Home 2024.
Additionally, various benefits are provided, including a limited-time giveaway of Starbucks laptop pouches and discounts on Galaxy Buds 3 Series.
A representative from Samsung Electronics noted, "If you are searching for a true AI laptop, you must carefully check whether it has a LunarLake processor, native AI function, and support for future Copilot+ PC," expressing the intention to lead AI PC leadership with the Galaxy Book5 Series that encompasses all these elements.
