Samsung Electronics announced on Wednesday that it will release its new AI-powered PC, the “Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360,” in South Korea on October 28th, 2024. This device is equipped with Intel’s Core Ultra Processor Series 2 (codenamed “Lunar Lake”) and features built-in Copilot+ AI capabilities.

The Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 comes in a 16-inch size and will be available in two colors: gray and silver. Prices will start at 2.42 million won ($1,780) and 2.57 million won, depending on the processor and memory configurations.

By leveraging Microsoft’s “Phone Link” feature, users can connect their Galaxy smartphones to the PC, enabling access to Galaxy AI functions such as “Circle to Search,” “Note Assist,” and real-time translation directly on the laptop screen.

The device boasts a high-resolution Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 3K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, providing users with a sharp and clear viewing experience. It also includes an anti-reflective panel for improved screen clarity. The 360-degree rotating display also allows the Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 to function as both a laptop and a tablet thanks to its 2-in-1 convertible design.

Exclusively available through Samsung’s online store, pre-registration promotions will be held from October 17th to 27th leading up to the official launch. Customers who purchase the product between October 28th and November 3rd will receive a bundle of gifts, including a Neikidnis brand pouch, a one-year Microsoft 365 Personal subscription, a 12-month Samsung Care+ plan, and the Hancom Samsung Office Pack. Samsung will also offer a trade-in program, running from October 28th to December 31st, where customers can receive up to 250,000 won in compensation when they trade in their old laptops for the new Galaxy AI PC.
