Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 13 (2021)

Samsung Galaxy Book Pro redefines the PC for users who prioritize mobility, bringing next-generation connectivity, an ultra-portable design, and enhanced performance.

April 28, 2021 – Samsung Electronics introduced the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro series, a new generation of computing devices that combines powerful performance with the mobility of the Samsung Galaxy smartphone line. With an enhanced Galaxy ecosystem, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro works seamlessly with your other Galaxy devices and IoT products, making your workflow and entertainment across devices smoother—and making life easier. As a key element for the Galaxy Book Pro series, Samsung has seized the opportunity to collaborate with major industry partners Intel and Microsoft to build a new approach to mobile computing, where smartphones and PCs work together perfectly across operating systems without ever sacrificing performance for portability.

Inspired by mobile design, built for modern life

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro is designed based on the needs and habits of users who prioritize modern mobile devices, engineered to make your daily experience simpler, smoother, and more intuitive than ever. These are Samsung’s most mobile Galaxy Books to date, with the 13-inch Galaxy Book Pro weighing only 0.87kg and measuring just 11.2mm thin. This compact design allows users to easily slip it into a backpack or handbag. Additionally, device durability has been improved despite the smaller size, utilizing military-standard 6000-series aluminum³, the same alloy trusted by the world’s leading aerospace manufacturers².

Furthermore, the Galaxy Book Pro series features Wi-Fi 6E⁶, so you can enjoy more bandwidth and faster 6GHz internet connectivity at home or in the office.

Battery life is crucial for highly mobile devices, which is why both the Galaxy Book Pro 13-inch and Galaxy Book Pro 15-inch are designed to help you stay active all day long. With long-lasting battery life, you won’t have to worry about pausing your work to find a power outlet. But if you need a quick charge, the Galaxy Book Pro series supports 65W fast charging, allowing you to quickly power up your device using a USB Type-C adapter.

Immersive entertainment experience with Super AMOLED display

Equipped with advanced hardware, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro series is built to take your entertainment to new heights. These are Samsung’s first Windows PCs to feature a Super AMOLED⁷ display, meaning this advanced technology is now available across the entire mobile device category—from smartwatches and smartphones to tablets and PCs. The SGS-certified Eye-Care display⁸ emits less blue light than standard LCD screens to help keep your eyes comfortable during long periods of entertainment after work. Smart Color Tool will automatically fine-tune your color space depending on the tasks you are using⁹. Movies and games will become more vivid and powerful with DCI-P3 or AMOLED Native color configurations; and for tasks like photo editing, where you want your images to look real, the Galaxy Book Pro series will automatically optimize colors.

All that stunning content is complemented by crisp audio from AKG speakers. By enabling Dolby Atmos, you can immerse yourself in an even more vivid and realistic audio experience.

Do more without interruption with high-performance hardware

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro series is equipped with next-generation hardware, including 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and Intel® Iris® X^e graphics. The Galaxy Book Pro series is compatible with the Intel® Evo™ platform, demonstrating an industry-leading balance of power, vivid graphics, seamless connectivity, and long battery life.¹⁰ Smart Performance Manager is also cleverly integrated to adapt to the device’s position, environment, and system load. By automatically adjusting fan noise, temperature, and battery usage, it balances performance and power consumption to provide a smooth experience throughout the day, so you can say goodbye to lag and multitask with ease.

Additionally, the device features enhanced performance tools to make daily work more efficient and enjoyable. The Keyboard Pro features an improved scissor mechanism that increases speed and comfort, with wide, rubber-coated keys providing a wonderful 1mm key travel that is nearly silent. The keyboard also comes with a touchpad that is 23% larger, providing more space for scrolling through websites or pinching to zoom in on details. The Quick Search software can quickly search for documents by keyword, so you spend less time searching through your folders.

With Studio Mode, you can customize your video call environment exactly how you want without worrying about settings. Combined with the Smart Noise Cancellation feature, it helps eliminate ambient noise so you can enjoy clear sight and sound. With the Screen Recorder and Samsung Studio Plus features, you can also create gaming tutorials by recording your screen along with your voice and easily edit videos using the built-in tools.

The Hub of Your Mobile Ecosystem

Thanks to the Galaxy ecosystem and the close collaboration between Samsung and Microsoft, you can accomplish more and save time.

Panos Panay, Chief Product Officer at Microsoft, stated: “We are excited to take the next step in our partnership with Samsung. This Windows-based computing product is built on Samsung’s strengths in highly mobile and connected devices and solutions. Together, we are integrating Windows even more deeply into the Galaxy ecosystem to create a simple, seamless, and sharp experience. We are proud of this partnership, which aims to help our customers stay connected, do more, create more, and explore entirely new possibilities with Samsung and Microsoft.”

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro series works effortlessly with your other Galaxy devices to increase productivity and efficiency. Second Screen allows you to extend your screen onto a Galaxy Tab for easier multitasking and enhanced productivity with Mirroring and Extended modes. With the integration of Link to Windows and Microsoft Phone Link, stay active by receiving calls, checking notifications, accessing photos and messages, and running up to 5 apps from your smartphone directly on your screen—all at once. You can also organize all your photos from every device in one place. Capture super slow-motion or record once from your Galaxy Smartphone content and view it on the larger screen of the Galaxy Book Pro or Galaxy Book Pro 360. The content will appear on your Galaxy Book Pro series in the same format as your Galaxy smartphone, including special effects.

Galaxy devices are now more connected within the ecosystem. Easy Bluetooth Connection¹⁸ instantly connects Galaxy Buds to your Galaxy Book Pro series so you don’t have to switch Bluetooth settings between devices. With Galaxy Book Smart Switch¹⁹, quickly transfer photos, movies, files, apps, and even your favorite settings from your existing Windows PC to the Galaxy Book Pro series so you can get back to creating and connecting faster. Quick Share²⁰ for the Galaxy Book Pro series allows you to share content between your Galaxy devices or with classmates and colleagues in just a few clicks. It offers near-instant transfer when you drag and drop multiple files and content between Galaxy Book and your Galaxy smartphone. Additionally, with Samsung Notes auto-syncing²¹ between Galaxy devices, you can jot down an idea and view it on any other device whenever inspiration strikes.

The Galaxy Book Pro series also serves as a smart management hub for your home when integrated with SmartThings. With the SmartThings app integrated into PCs for the first time in the Galaxy Book Pro series, tasks like turning off lights, changing the temperature, or even starting kitchen appliances²² can be done even while you are sitting in your chair. With SmartThings Find, users can quickly locate their Galaxy smartphone, tablet, or Bluetooth-connected wearable devices and never fear losing a device again. With the complete integration of the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, the Galaxy Book Pro series is now the final link between your devices, comprehensively connecting your digital world.
