The Galaxy Book Laptop Series series that Samsung updates every year has a niche but faithful below. After all, it is not every year you buy a super premium laptop. And, neither do everyone looking for something exactly like this. However, the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro (14 inches) this year seems to walk the line between the wonderful shape and function. I have been using this to see and burn some editions, and this is what I think of the flagship laptop.
Design
All underestimated metal. All gray. Soft, less glam. I have the 14 -inch version of the laptop, which is surprisingly light to 1.23 kg. It is also super intelligent with a thickness or 11.6 mm. In general, it is designed to be subtle, but it will surely make the heads turn with how elegant it looks. Making the screen from the central notch, it does not make the base lift, so there are no bamboles or a general weight distribution in general.

The 14 -inch AMOLED touch screen is brilliant with 50 percent, which is what I am through my review. Whether watching movies or updating with reading, I have never felt that the need to boost brightness adjusts to 60 percent. I indicated the new Whodunnit in the residence, a intelligent and fun fictional thriller focused on a death that occurs in the White House and involves staff. The super talented Uzo Aduba plays Cordelia Cupp, a recognized and eccentric detective that has brought to solve the murder. The screen is a delight to see. The bad mood is perfectly presented, with the shady parts of the scene captured precisely. The quad speaker configuration on the laptop makes multimedia attractive, although expanding the volume is what adds to the audio sound stronger. The dialogues and the combined background score were better rendered when the volume was beyond 60 percent of the brand. The anti -reflective coating on the screen also helps keep distractions while immersing itself in a mystery of murder.
The touch screen is fast and receptive, although I must say that I prefer to use the keyboard most of the time. In addition, the hinge does not allow the screen to be thrown back to bed on a desk or a work surface. I can push it back to say about 145 degrees instead. Therefore, using the touch screen to collaborate with colleagues as a flat tablet screen will not happen.

The Samsung Galaxy Book5 PRO presents a full -size keyboard with a backlit system that allows me to alternate by 30 percent, 60 % or 100 % brightness, separated from keeping it off. I have to say that the three -step option is very useful when I am using the laptop until late at night and it is not because a super bright background light.
Chiclet keyboard feels firm and comfortable to write. However, I would like the keys to have a little more travel, they would have made a writing experience even more satisfactory.
The trackpad is quite large, although in this price range it would also expect intelligent characteristics such as sliding controls enabled for gestures for volume and brightness. The ignition button is doubled as the fingerprint reader and is agile with the unlocking of the laptop.
There is a Microsoft co-driver button dedicated to the laptop, which facilitates access to Ai-Oid ideas, the collection of information and more. There is also a dedicated selection function on the dock, which is the equivalent of ‘circle to search’ on this laptop.
In case you work a lot with the media, both to share staff and professional, there is Samsung Studio that allows you to quickly add elements such as text, music and more to the images. You can also use the Chroma key for virtual funds, as well as reduce background noise with an “audio draft.”
The 1080P webcam is good enough for virtual meetings, it is updated with calls with friends and family. It really makes warm skin tones touched, in a pleasant way. You can say that there is a certain level of beautification because my skin is not seen by default when I have the camera on. Windows Studio Effects come into operation when it joins the meetings, which allows me to access the automatic frame (singios of soft zoom zoom, easy), automatic visual contact (it works strangely well!) And a bottom blur.

The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro review unit is executed in the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. The multitasking on the device is soft. Through multiple open tabs, reproductive videos and incessant navigation, he gave an experience with any collection or stuttering on the device. In terms of connectivity, there are two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB type C) and an HDMI port on the left. On the right, you will find a USB type A port, a 3.5 mm connector and a microSD card reader. I would say that this configuration is quite rounded for most needs.
Battery
The Galaxy Book 5 Pro works with a 63.1Wh battery and admits a quick USB-C charging of 65W. Samsung states that the battery can go to 25 hours. In the use of real life, for every hour or netflix (and, without chill), the battery decreased by approximately 10-12 percent, with the brightness established by approximately 60 percent. Without video consumption, the much slower drain battery, even with the webcam on. For example, two hours of writing, editing and attribution of a 25-minute informative session saw a battery doll or work of 6-8 percent. It means that if you are using this mainly for work, which is much to watch or edit many or video, or simply watch videos in general, you will get more than a day duration of the battery with a single load.
Verdict
A ₹ 1.31,990, the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro is not cheap. What works in your favor is super light and elegant construction, a vibrant screen that does not reflect your own face towards you and a decently long battery life. I would like Samsung to have added at least one more color option, and also included a physical shutter for the webcam. In addition, with all the buzz around its phones, there is space for smarter characteristics here. However, if you are on the market buying a Windows premium laptop that looks elegant, travels with light and works as a professional, it marks most of the right boxes.
Price: ₹ 1,31,990
PROS: Brilliant anti -reflective grinding screen, elegant, light but resistant construction, long battery life.
