Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360

For creatives who want a large convertible, this 16" AMOLED Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 pairs pen‑accurate 3K colour with Copilot AI performance most Windows 2‑in‑1s can't touch.

If you spend your day sketching, editing photos, or juggling lots of browser tabs, a 16" convertible that actually feels like a creative tool is what you want — not a stretched laptop. The Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 gives you a roomy 16‑inch 3K AMOLED touchscreen, an included S Pen for precise input, and on‑device AI features (Copilot+) to speed up repetitive tasks and content tweaks. ## What makes it worth it The 16" Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel (2880×1800) with 120Hz and Gorilla Glass delivers vivid colour, high resolution and smoother motion than most productivity convertibles, so retouching and note‑taking feel accurate and fast. Samsung pairs that screen with Intel Core Ultra 7 silicon and 16GB of RAM, which reviews show handles multitasking and AI‑assisted workloads significantly better than older ultralight Intel chips. You also get modern connectivity — Wi‑Fi 7 and PCIe Gen4 SSD support — and a large 76Wh battery Samsung rates for very long video playback, which reviewers say translates into all‑day real‑world use for typical office and creative tasks. ## Where it falls short The machine is expensive for what you get compared with equivalent Apple Silicon laptops, and reviewers have flagged that webcam and some bundled software can feel weaker than the otherwise high‑end hardware. If battery claims are a priority, note that manufacturer video playback figures tend to be optimistic versus mixed‑use workloads. If you need a colour‑accurate, pen‑friendly 16" convertible for photo, design or heavy multitasking, buy this; if you want the absolute longest battery life or prefer macOS apps, look at Apple’s M‑series laptops instead.
