Amazon’s highly anticipated Big Spring Sale kicks off tomorrow, but Samsung has already rolled out discounts on two of its laptops. The 16-inch Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro is currently available at a staggering $700 discount, priced at just $1,350. Meanwhile, the 15.6-inch Samsung Galaxy Book 3 sees a substantial $380 price drop, now retailing for only $620. Let’s delve into each offer and explore why these laptops are worth considering.
Firstly, the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra, a predecessor to the Book 3 Pro, earned high praise in our reviews last year. Sharing many similarities with the Pro model, the Ultra boasts a sleek design akin to that of a MacBook and seamless integration with Samsung Galaxy devices, rivaling the ecosystem of a MacBook with iPhones and iPads. Even for users without Galaxy devices, the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra presents a compelling option, boasting features like a stunning AMOLED display, impressive performance and battery life, and an elegant design weighing just four pounds – remarkably light for a 16-inch laptop.
The Galaxy Book 3 Pro, currently discounted on Amazon, closely mirrors the Ultra model we evaluated. The primary discrepancy lies in graphics capabilities, with the Ultra boasting Nvidia RTX graphics while the Pro relies on integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics. Consequently, the Ultra caters more to creative professionals with its graphics prowess, whereas the Pro is better suited for general office tasks.
Both discounted Galaxy Book 3 models are powered by 13th-gen Intel processors, making them previous-generation models. Although Samsung introduced Galaxy Book 4 models featuring Intel Core Ultra chips towards the end of last year, these new models primarily offer processor upgrades while retaining the same design as their predecessors. Therefore, opting for the Galaxy Book 3 doesn’t mean sacrificing a sleeker design or superior displays.
