Samsung just released its new Galaxy Book Pro series back in May, and its flagship convertible version (Galaxy Book Pro 360 15") has dropped by $150 at Best Buy, bringing the price down to just $1,350.
For that price, you're getting that latest 11th Gen Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM, and a massive 1TB of zippy SSD storage. The Galaxy Book Pro 360 15" features a gorgeous full HD AMOLED touch display with an included Samsung S Pen for taking notes or drawing. In addition, it has a massive Microsoft Precision touchpad, solid battery life, weighs a remarkable 3.06 pounds (1.39kg) and has a full number pad.
We gave the Galaxy Book Pro 360 15" a 4.5 out of 5 stars in our review for a good reason.

The Galaxy Book Pro 360 is one of the only thin-and-light 15-inch convertible PCs on the market with an excellent AMOLED display and inking experience. It's sharp-looking, fun to use, and has performance when needed.
For ports, there are three USB Type-C with one (on the left) reserved for the higher-performing Thunderbolt 4. There is also a MicroSD slot for multi-media and a combo microphone/headphone jack. While a Type-A port would have been nice, the laptop is simply too thin to house one – a good problem to have.
Usually, we would dump on Samsung, including so much of its own software, but its apps totally enhance the experience of the Galaxy Book Pro. Samsung Security lets you digitally lock the microphone and camera so the software cannot be used to spy on you. It can even email you a pic of someone trying to hack your laptop (for real). PENUP is a coloring app for adults, which lets you use the included S Pen in a fun and relaxing way. Apps like Gallery, Notes, TV Plus, Live Message, and Air Command are mirror images of Samsung's Galaxy phone apps and often sync to them via your Samsung account. Live Wallpaper lets you choose premade wallpapers that slightly change based on current weather and whether it is day or night.
But really, you are buying this laptop for the color-accurate AMOLED display with support for HDR. It's a jaw-dropper. And thanks to the 68WHr battery, you can expect 8 to 10 hours of real-world usage from Samsung.
The Galaxy Book Pro 360 15" is ideal for those who don't need a heavy-hitting GPU for gaming but do want a very portable, elegant 15-inch laptop with an outstanding display. It's perfect for watching movies, drawing, taking notes, or even using it as a tablet.
