Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 vs Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro
The Verdict
Samsung's Galaxy Book5 Pro delivers superior value for creative professionals and power users, featuring a larger 16-inch AMOLED display with 2880x1800 resolution, 500 nits brightness, and better port selection including SD card support. Battery life extends to 18 hours versus 14 hours on the Book4 360. However, the Book4 360 excels as a versatile 2-in-1 with its touchscreen convertible design, lighter 1.65kg chassis, and more USB ports (two USB-A connections). Performance differs meaningfully: Book5 Pro uses the newer Intel Core Ultra 7 265V (8 cores), while Book4 360 packs a 16-core Ultra 7 155H offering more computational horsepower. For $100 more, the Pro model's superior display, extended battery, and modern chipset make it ideal for content creators and all-day workers. Choose Book4 360 if hybrid tablet functionality matters or you prioritize processing power; otherwise, the Book5 Pro is the more balanced recommendation for most users.
