Snapshot

The 30-Second Version

The Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 nets a mediocre 53.3 overall score, weighed down by integrated graphics (18th percentile) and just 16GB of RAM (36th percentile). Its 16-inch OLED touchscreen is a stunner, but at $2499-$4020, you're paying a huge premium for the display rather than the performance. For nearly any demanding task, there are far faster machines at the same price.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Vibrant 16-inch 120Hz OLED touchscreen, top-third quality 82nd
  • Above-average reliability (78th percentile) for peace of mind 77th
  • Generous 1TB SSD (68th percentile) gives plenty of room for files 65th
  • Solid port selection with Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.0 (69th percentile)
  • Convertible 2-in-1 design with pen support for tablet use

Cons

  • Weak integrated GPU (18th percentile) tanks any gaming hopes
  • Only 16GB RAM (36th percentile) is a glaring omission at this price
  • Steep $2499-$4020 price tag doesn't match the performance
  • Below-average compactness (33rd percentile) makes it less portable than rivals
  • CPU lands at just the 60th percentile, average for the class

The proof

Performance

The i7-1360P's 12 cores and 2.2GHz base clock get the job done for everyday tasks, but our benchmarks place it smack in the middle of the laptop pack. That's fine for spreadsheets and streaming, less so for compiling code or raw photo exports. The real choke point is the memory: 16GB of DDR5 is what we'd expect in a $800 ultrabook, not a $2500+ flagship, and the 36th percentile ranking confirms it's behind most competitors. When you start juggling dozens of browser tabs or a couple of virtual machines, that ceiling gets annoying fast.

The 1TB SSD (68th percentile) delivers snappy boots and fast game loads, but the Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics are a drag on anything GPU-heavy. Our gaming score hit a rock-bottom 12.6 out of 100, and the GPU sits at the 18th percentile, which means even older titles will need to be dialed way down. On the bright side, the 16-inch OLED panel runs at a smooth 120Hz and made our test videos pop with color, though it's not quite the brightest we've seen. The port array is above average (69th percentile) with Thunderbolt 4, USB-A, and HDMI 2.0, so dongle life isn't mandatory.

vs Competition

When you line it up against the competition, the Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is the stylish convertible that showed up to a muscle car meet. The Apple MacBook Pro M4 Max obliterates it in CPU and GPU performance while staying in the same price ballpark. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA403WW-G14.R95080 brings a discrete GPU in a compact 14-inch frame, making it the clear pick if you want real gaming muscle without a bulky rig. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 and HP OMEN Transcend 14-fb1023dx both post higher gaming and developer scores, and the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro NP940XHA-KG3US shows Samsung itself has moved on with better internals. The Book3 Pro 360's one ace is that it's lighter than most gaming rigs and has a knockout OLED, but for $2500+, you're sacrificing an awful lot of speed for a pretty screen.

Price

Value & Pricing

A $1521 spread across vendors tells you Samsung hasn't nailed down the price on this one. At $2499, you're mostly paying for that OLED touchscreen and the 2-in-1 novelty, but the guts struggle to justify even that floor. The moment you cross into $3000 or $4020 territory, the value argument crumbles. For that kind of money, a MacBook Pro M4 Max or ASUS ROG Flow delivers an order of magnitude more compute and a dedicated GPU, leaving the Book3 Pro 360 looking like a designer handbag with a netbook's heart. If you're set on Samsung's ecosystem and can find it at the low end of that range, it's a passable indulgence, but there's no scenario where the top-tier pricing makes sense.

Overview

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 lands with a 53.3 overall score in our database, putting it squarely in the middle of the road. Credit where it's due: the 16-inch 120Hz OLED touchscreen is the star here, and our display ranking at the 71st percentile means it's a solid panel for binging shows or sketching. But the spec sheet tells a different story beneath that pretty glass. An average i7-1360P processor (60th percentile) and just 16GB of RAM (36th percentile) keep this convertible from punching above its weight, and its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics sit in the bottom fifth of all laptops we've tested.

This is a 2-in-1 built for consumption, not creation. If you need a flexible Windows 11 machine for Office apps, video calls, and media, the thin-and-light design works. Just don't confuse it with a workstation. The 78th percentile reliability score is a comforting plus, suggesting you're getting a well-built device, but that doesn't make up for the lack of muscle when you step beyond light duty. For a laptop that can range from $2499 to $4020, we expected more firepower.

Common Questions

Q: Is the Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 good for gaming?

No. The integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics rank at the 18th percentile and our gaming score is a dismal 12.6 out of 100. You'll struggle to run modern titles even at low settings.

Q: Can I use this for video editing or creative work?

Light edits are doable, but the 16GB of RAM (36th percentile) and weak GPU will bottleneck 4K or complex projects quickly. The i7-1360P is average for its class, so a MacBook Pro M4 Max or ASUS ROG Flow is a better bet for serious work.

Q: What ports does it have?

It includes Thunderbolt 4, two USB-C, one USB-A, and HDMI 2.0, ranking in the 69th percentile for port variety. Wi-Fi 6E rounds out a solid connectivity package.

Who Should Skip This

Gamers, developers, and anyone who multitasks with heavy apps should look elsewhere. The 12.6/100 gaming score is abysmal, and the 52.8/100 developer rating reflects the RAM and GPU ceiling. At $2499 and up, a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10, ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, or MacBook Pro M4 Max will run circles around this Samsung without costing much more, all while leaving you room to grow. Even Samsung's own Galaxy Book5 Pro has leapfrogged it. If you need a machine that can pull double duty for work and play, the Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is a non-starter.

Verdict

Samsung's Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is a luxury media tablet disguised as a laptop. The 16-inch OLED screen and convertible design are genuinely lovely, and if your daily grind peaks at Netflix, Word, and some light sketching, the $2499 entry price might be worth it just for the display. But our numbers don't lie: the integrated GPU and 16GB of RAM bottleneck any serious ambition, and the overall 53.3 score reflects that. You're better off grabbing a MacBook Pro M4 Max or an ASUS ROG Flow unless you absolutely need Samsung's specific mix of two-in-one design and OLED brilliance.
