Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360
The Verdict
Samsung's Galaxy Book3 Ultra and Book4 Pro 360 target different priorities despite similar 16-inch AMOLED displays and identical 2880x1800 resolution. The Book3 Ultra ($2399) features Intel's 13th-gen Core i9-13900H with 14 cores and 32GB RAM, delivering superior raw performance for demanding creative work and multitasking. Its 1TB storage is double the Book4's 512GB, though neither offers expansion. Battery life tells a different story: the Book4 Pro 360 stretches to 15 hours versus the Ultra's 8 hours, making it better for travel despite identical 76Wh batteries. The Book4 uses newer Intel Core Ultra 7 155H architecture with 16 cores, offering better efficiency per watt. At 1.66kg, the Book4 is noticeably lighter than the Ultra's 1.79kg. Both include 2 Thunderbolt ports and touchscreen capability, though the Book4's Dynamic AMOLED 2X may have superior color accuracy. The $650 price gap reflects the performance difference. Choose the Book3 Ultra if you need maximum processing power for professional tasks; pick the Book4 Pro 360 if battery endurance and portability matter more while still maintaining solid performance for everyday computing.
