I told myself “man, I really hope there’s a Brad video today” then saw the notification pop up saying there’s a new video 😂😂

16GB RAM in an almost $2k laptop? 32GB DDR5/5600 is about $120 at retail, there's no excuse for less than 32GB on a 'pro' level machine, especially if it's soldered in.

No 32GB RAM option on the Pro360 will be a deal-breaker for many pro users (along with no dGPU). Samsung has done this to upsell to the Ultra but that has no pen support. The 360 should not be compared to Macbooks as they do not offer touch let alone pen support! So, comparisons with Dell, HP, LG, and Lenovo would be sensible. It is a premium laptop so the price as expected is very high but comparable though nearer the top-end of premium 2-in-1s rather than the cheaper end. Should be up there when choosing a 2-in-1.

i have a Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 for 2 years and is going strong. I put a matt screen plastic protector but it started to eat the nib. Searching on the internet i found out that the Spen and the Wacom One(the one with display, in black and white) has the same pen tech and they work with each other. So i have use that pen from ONE with the plastic matt screen protector. It still has some resistance but not so much because the nib is a hard plastic. But it has been good so far and the screen will never get scratches.

Awesome. There is a lot of info here! Thanks

That was a looooong sponsor spot lol

I got the GBP2 Pro 360 on your recommendation and I love it so much! Not only is it a great drawing tool, it handled my research too (which was a ton of data)! My only gripe was that the screen has cracks from travelling, but that can be remedied by buying a good case before taking a flight or so. All in all, I love it, and I'm curious about the newest version!

You can rotate the screen so the blower is at the top. Which is what I do. You can also replace the SSD. It's a standard nvme.

It would be awesome if it had video in so you could use it as a drawing tablet when the specs get outdated

I have the non-pro of last year's model and I love it the small size and lack of numeric keypad. I have mine paired with a shortcut remote and Lamy EMR pen and draw on the couch or at cafes a lot!

Hey Brad! This was helpful. Also, what's your opinion on Minis forum V3... Right now, I have narrowed my upgrade down to galaxy book pro 4, Surface pro 10 but very tempted to see how AMD hails for this space (of digital art) ... Or perhaps it's more of an option as a gaming tablet pc than a drawing one.

I heard it has screen cracking issue. Let me know if you have any problems with that. I am looking to buy one.

Have you had the chance to explore other 2-in-1 laptops, such as the ROG Flow X16 or MSI Summit E16? As a 3D artist, I'm seeking a 2-in-1 laptop with robust GPU power, and I've noticed these models boasting an RTX VGA, which seems ideal for my profession. However, I'm uncertain about the quality of the stylus pen. I hope you have the opportunity to review 2-in-1 laptops with high-performance GPUs. :)

First, thank you so much for your review. I have Samsung S8 Ultra, and I'm super happy with it. What I miss (as it is an android) is working in Rebelle 7. That is the reason I'm considering to buy Book4 Pro 360. Did you try Rebelle on it? I'm asking because Rebelle is resource intensive.

YES!!!! I've been waiting for an artist to review this! My school is sending me a MacBook Pro 16 in a few months. I already have one, so I think I'm going to sell it to get a Galaxy Book to replace my current MBP.

Hey Brad, I really like the Galaxy tab and the s pen. Cuz the s pen there is just so good and unmatched. Does the s pen with the book 4 work just as well? Or bc it's windows, maybe it's not the same and has some lag? Cuz I'm thinking about potentially selling my s9 ultra to get this instead

Hi! Does the screen wobble if you have it on your lap and you type? I mean using as laptop, not trying to draw or anything, just type. Im more interested in the touchscreen only in the full tablet mode so what you showed is not necessarily a dealbreaker for me, even tho it's a bit concerning.

I've been watching this unit since it came out. Bought it on sale. About the price 13 ipad pro and pen. The aspect ratio is 16 :10 a much better drawing experience. I'm really happy with it!

Hey, Brad. I was wondering if you could review the Zenbook Duo UX8406 from 2024 for artists? I feel that this is the successor of the Surface Pro form factor.

At that price Sammy could’ve done 32gb instead of 16 😂

looks great as a portable sketch device. I would be worried about damaging the keyboard in 360 mode on my lap though... If they made this like a surface pro with the guts behind the screen instead of the keyboard it would be allot more versatile for lap sketching.

do you know the differences of using Adobe Fresco on an Ipad vs Windows? I'm considering one of this or the surface pro 10, but also a new ipad is coming so I want to see what differences are on Adobe Fresco as that's the one software I use the most. It's not the only factor deciding on buying, but I may stillwant to know

Great review as always. Got my GB4 pro 360 a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Great screen & colors. Don't like the s-pen that much, seems a bit small, but I use the one I got with the Tab s4.

I am planning to buy book4pro ultra7, 32gb. Is it good for product designing like Adobe XD, figma, photoshop, Illustrator. Will this laptop handle this well. Some reviews are telling it is lagging while using Photoshop, figma...have u felt any lag while working?

Not sure if you’ve seen, but apparently there’s a 2024 version of the tab s6 lite that just got quietly announced, could be worth checking out perhaps?

Do you prefer fresco over all the other drawing apps?

Hey brad,for drawing,do you prefer the galaxy tab s9 ultra,or the galaxy book4 pro 360? Im trying to see which is better for my birthday,i mostly use it for animation and coding

The non pro at 1100 looking like a nice deal. Can install pro software like in any Windows or Mac, that's a huge plus. The S Pen non wobble lines and feel, and surely you can use any Wacom EMR compatible pen. Oh, and the secondary screen (using a samsung tablet as such), even if not super well sync, would rock for looking at references while doing a project.

I was considering the Samsung Book 3 360 last year, but went with a way cheaper Lenovo 7i that had a dedicated Arc GPU. The active pen actually works really well and I'm happy with it. It would be cool if you reviewed/compared the latest Lenovo 9i and 7i yoga 2-in-1s though!

Wow! Really nice. However, $1,900?!? 😮 Brad, have you thought about pitting the top-of-the-line Tab S9 against this laptop from an artist's perspective? I've been really leaning towards using my Samsung tablet as a laptop replacement especially when paired with the Dexnor Magic Style Keyboard case. As an artist, I'd rather have the flexibility of a tablet for art than I need a laptop that I use for "productivity" every so often.

Been thinking about one of these as a replacement for my decrepit PC, and a supplement to my Tab S7+, to do the windowsy things that android can't. (Like run that copy of Rebelle I bought) Gotta say you did a good job selling it to me. Just have to decide if I want the 3K resolution, or an extra $800 in my pocket. 🤔

I have a Book3, and it's a great laptop, but I thought I should mention a couple of things. The S-pen does not have a programmable side button. I like to use the side button as a right click and the s-pen only allows you to use it to open certain programs and whatnot, so that hampers the useability of the pen, which is otherwise great. Also, the second screen function with Galaxy Tabs can be used with any Windows computer, not just Samsung computers. I am disappointed to hear that the Arc GPU doesn't have more of an effect on performance. I'd heard good things about the Arc, and I was hoping for more. The graphics performance is the one thing that I find really lets me down compared to the Yoga 720 with an nVidia 950gtx that I had previously.

Does it have any paralax? What kind of games can you play on it?

Thinking of trading in my 9+ ultra for this is that a good trade in? Thanks

Could you test if the Wacom One pen works with the Samsung Galaxy Book 360? It might be a more appealing alternative to the S pen pro as far as price goes.

Does it have a real wacom control panel and the ability to customize the pen side switch? (Right click) If not, no sale. Galaxy Tab S9 ultra + superdisplay and any laptop you please ftw.

I would love to know how Clip Studio runs on it!

Thanks Brad. I left my ipad pro in favor of the Samsung Notebook Pro 6 years ago. I might buy this one or wait one more year. New Windows chips are coming this year, M chip competitors. I'm dreaming for a Windows Samsung tablet or a Mac Pad. ,

Does additional keyboard work in the tablet mode if i want to use it for shortcuts in Photoshop?

So, real Question... Value for money, and actual practicality of use, what would you choose; a Galaxy Tab S9+ or the 360 Book 4 pro? I am really considering the Tab S9fe 12.4 at less than $500. Currently I am using the Tab S6 22 and love it, but would also love the extra screen space. I already have a decent computer so the Tab seems more appealing than the laptop. What compromises would I need to be aware of when making this decision? Other thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

What do I think? Well, my zBook g2 X4 screen is starting to suffer from 7 years of drawing, it can't be upgraded to Windows 11 and I need a new laptop for Photoshop / Illustrator and Adobe Animate this looks good but I am also tempted instead by the 19 inch Huion Pro and a small desktop Windows machine instead (which would struggle less with Blender) Ideally, I'd prefer a new HP zBook but I'm open to looking at this laptop instead.

Does this have a heating issue at all?

Hey Brad, it has been a lot of reports of screen cracking of the Book 360 across all generations of laptops... since you reviewed all of them, have you experienced this? How are they lasting over the years? Samsung's warranty does not cover these cracks, blaming the users for poor usage (all user claim have take care of the laptop and there is some report that this happens with a few days of use and out of nowhere...)

Can u review the new Miniforums v3 tablet ?

Can you make a video about HP Envy x360?

How about 4 pro. Is it possible to use S23Ultra SPen on 4 pro?

what software is being used for drawing

Tried a regular wacom pro pen on These tablets and laptops? Bit confusing sometimes s pen needs charging on some devices in reviews I've read. Battery free pens tend to be better, not just convenience but just better ( less wobble etc). Also more options on UK and throwing in an S9 fe tablet with some models.

It does have the ability to turn off the palm detection FYI. Great so far (day one)!

welp i bought it. lol gonna use fresco after I finish my current pic on my tablet.

Really hoping the new iPads with a pencil & new keyboard case won’t add up to more than this laptop, if that’s the case, I’m getting this instead.

I wish I could say there was a solid value proposition here, but there just isn't. Android does phones better, but as soon as any of the droid companies make a device that's bigger than a Samsung Note, all of the value seemingly disappears. For the same price someone can get an iPad Air for drawing, and a PC that can handle real work AND real gaming 🤷

Samsung really needs to use full wacom drivers go allow us complete control of the pen and button settings

I have a question to Brad or could anyone here whose drawing tablets expectis like him okay. So im not a drawing pro i just draw, sometimes as hobby but as for tablets and computers i like high speeds tech like apple but im considering later (thinking about it) in life buying a starter pack per say of a really drawing tablet (doesnt need to be pro) but like a xp pen or cintiq or huion all by 14 or 16 inch so the question/debate is which one is better most recommended and takes mac os? Thank youu!

Looks like a nice laptop for drawing. For me no point in the Micro SD Card Slot. I use an iPhone. Maybe Samsung or other android phones use Micro SD Card Slots that would be an advantage. One thing that may be a concern for drawing is needing the keyboard while in drawing position. Would need an external keyboard. No big deal. I still would prefer the duo drawing laptops like the Asus Zenbook Duo though the needs is still for a great pen and looks like the S-Pen is good enough. Hopefully Samsung will come out with a Duo Screen Laptop that can also have all the capabilities of the Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360.

Anyone has any idea about replacing samsungs s pen? it's a little bit too thin...

Shame they didn't do a 13.3 or a 14inch. The 16 is just a little too big. Plus they should've done a version with a rtx 4070 or 4050. Love that pen.

I feel u don't to say 'I review tech for creative professionals' and I want to see more creative intros like 'I'm Brad, wait... I reviewing this?'

is it "2 thunderbolt 4 ports ports" of should it be "2 thunderbolt 4 ports"

For windows go to Control Panel/ device manager. Disable touch. Now you can draw without worrying about palm rejection.

unlike microsoft that has shitty carpenter style pencil stylus, its good to have an actual apple pencil like stylus

If you are a student this laptop cost just 1,199.99. So, is definetely worth it. I bought thr first Flex made by Samsung and it was a GREAT laptop BUT! HINGES ARE THRASH. After two years of use they stop working and destroy the screen. I bought a new screen and the experience was worst, it last a year or less..

Can wait for galaxy book to have snapdragon X elite chip

A samsung ultra without s pen support is a fake ultra

16Gb or RAM? Too bad, I'm out of here, that's only half of that I need for my art. Looks great, specs seem decent and having Intel Arc is nice, just a bit more power than the regular intel graphics. For the price there should really be 32Gb in it. I'll stick to Lenovo, they work very well and you pay less for good specs and choices. Their pens are surprisingly good. Sure not as lightweight as the s-pen, but they work well.

According to Samsung the non pro display is FHD not 3K, thats another difference

I wish Samsung would offer AMD options again.

I wouldn't like the wobbly screen and having to charge it using a usb c port to do it. It's kikd of a waste of a usb port. It whould have a plug in to charge it. as it is i would need more ports so i could connect the things i have connected to my laptop now which is a HP. The fan is pretty loud too. I would like to get a samsung though as i have other samsung devices. ... phone and tablet. A

How about a samsung galaxy bool4 pro 360 (tablet mode) vs tab s9 ultra review? It'd be great to see that

Hello

Now I’m irritated I bought my first Mac book air 2 years ago. But it was for programming not art so meh.

Best for sansumg ecosystem

If it only had a decent gpu, would be perfect.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Too much money for a mediocre notebook. For 2499 euros (that's how much I paid for my SGB 4 Pro 360) there are significantly better alternatives. Therefore, think carefully about whether you want to buy such an overpriced device. Unfortunately, I missed my return deadline and unfortunately have to keep the SGB 4 Pro 360 or sell it at a loss.

There are THREE glaring things that keep me from considering these: 1) Lack of a 32 GB RAM option. As someone who's a 30+ year Professional Graphic Designer who uses Adobe Products, 16GB especially for a "PRO" model is not good enough. It will never be. 2) Windows 11 Home. A "PRO" version should have a "PRO" operating system. This is just total bullshit on Samsung's part. 3) This last one is cosmetic, but that awful large chin on the bottom of the screen is absolutely useless and serves no purpose except highlighting Samsung's poor design. They really need to get rid of it. It's not on their phones or tablets, so it contrasts with their design language. EXTRA CREDIT: The price is outrageous!!! I have a Dell XPS 7390 2-in-1, 10th Gen i7, 4K with 32GB of RAM, and the thing is still really good. The Dell Premium Active Pen - PN579X is also a Wacom Stylus and it works very good, but honestly it's not the S-Pen. I'm thinking about the new ASUS Duo with the two 3K OLED panels. It comes with 32GB of RAM, Ultra 9, a stylus and other extras for the exact same price. I'm not familiar with the ASUS Stylus with Microsoft's Pen Protocol (MPP) 2.0. so we'll see...

Can’t even use Vroid Studio, Blender and After Effects on here lol

yooooo wsg 3 or 4th comment or sum

first comment....UwU

Hey man, I just bought a book4 pro 360 for 1899.00 us. A week into using it and the dual window and android experience is a nightmare. The s pen destroyes text editing. I have a s8+ and the s pen text editing is a breeze, but on the book4 I have ruined several docs with wild s pen text editing. The touch pad is ok and the screen is wonderful. That said, getting this as a tablet device is really painful. The tablet keyboard is huge and the way it covers over half of the document is just ridiculous. The book4 is a solid piece of hardware with an amazing screen. However the whole s pen editing is a joke. I really can't recommend this to anyone without feeling bad.

Korean. Erosion comes with 32gb of ram
