While the last series of Samsung notebooks were primarily designed for mobile use, Samsung is now presenting a real powerhouse for on the go with the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra. The focus here is on creators who edit images and videos on the go and need a lot of power for this.
Here, Samsung installs a 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels. The refresh rate can change dynamically between 48 and 120 Hz to always enable a smooth display.
Depending on the configuration, either an Intel Core i7-13700H or an Intel Core i9-13900H is used. When it comes to the graphics card, you can choose between the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 or RTX4070.
The Galaxy Book 3 Ultra measures 355.4 x 250.4 x 16.5mm and weighs 1,799kg. Let’s take a look at the connections. 2x Thunderbolt 4, 1x USB-A, HDMI 2.0, microSD and the audio port are available here.
If you also use a Samsung Galaxy smartphone in addition to your Samsung Galaxy Book notebook, you have the option of sharing the touchpad and keyboard with the smartphone to enable seamless work. For example, you can drag and drop files from your smartphone to your notebook or share the clipboard. Thanks to Instant Hotspot, you can use your smartphone’s Internet connection with your notebook with just one click. What is particularly practical here is that the last pages used with the smartphone are then displayed in the notebook browser, which of course makes the workflow easier, since you can simply continue where you left off with the smartphone.
