Last week one leaked product roadmap revealed several of Samsung’s upcoming gadget launches this year, including the arrival of new conventional laptops. Now some pictures of the devices Hbird too appeared, giving us a peek at Samsung’s new Galaxy Book Pros a few weeks earlier.
In the most recent images posted by the well-known leaker Evan Blass, we can see a relatively minimalist laptop design available in standard and 2-in-1 clamshell bodies, with the latter featuring a 360-degree hinge that allows your screen to transform into various configurations .
According to Blass, the Galaxy Book Pro will be available in 13 and 15-inch sizes with at least two color options (blue and silver), with the regular Galaxy Book Pro being charged as a replacement for the previous year Galaxy Book Ion, while the Galaxy Book Pro 360 serves as an update to the Galaxy Book Flex.
In keeping with Samsung’s plan to expand pen support to a wide range of devices, both versions of the Galaxy Book Pro will also come with an integrated S-Pen and, presumably, the typical range of Samsung pen apps for drafts ,taking, and more.

Based on previously commented information of WalkingCat (@ _h0x0d_), the Galaxy Book Pro line should feature a range of 11th generation Intel CPUs, integrated Intel graphics (or Nvidia MX250 or MX450 GPUs on some 15-inch models), full HD AMOLED touch screens and potential support for Thunderbolt 4, which suggests that at least some versions of the Galaxy Book Pro may be participating in Intel’s Evo Program.
WalkingCat also hinted that there may be another, smaller, more portable Samsung laptop on the way. Tthe Galaxy Book Go it will feature an ARM-based CPU courtesy of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx platform and probably support for 4G LTE or possibly 5G integrated connectivity.
Unfortunately, as the leaked script from Samsung indicates that these laptops are still about three weeks from being officially announced, there is no information about the final price or availability for the new Galaxy Book Pros.
Meanwhile, Samsung continues to provide other devices, including a new line of high resolution productivity monitors which come with support for HDR 10, have integrated blue light filters certified by TÜV Rheinland and come in a variety of sizes and configurations. The S8 is at the top of Samsung’s new line of monitors featuring 4K UHD resolution in 27 inches and 32 inch models, while step S7 and S6 up to 3440 x 1440 or 2560 x 1440 resolutions with screens ranging from 24 inches to 34 inches, with some models even offering a curved design or support for AMD FreeSync.
The only problem with these monitors is that, although they support HDR 10, they are not true HDR panels, since they achieve 300 nits of brightness, which is 100 nits less than VESA’s lower HDR400 requirements. However, for monitors designed primarily for office work and not for games or entertainment, the lack of full support for HDR400 is probably not a big problem.
Unfortunately, Samsung has not yet revealed the price and availability for these monitors, so like its next laptops, we may have to wait a while to see how much they will cost.
