Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 15 (2021)

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro redefines the PC for mobile-first users, delivering next-generation connectivity, an ultraportable design, and upgraded performance.

April 28, 2021 - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. introduced the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro series, a new generation of computing devices that pairs powerful performance with the mobile DNA of Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Thanks to the expanded Galaxy ecosystem, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro works smoothly with your other Galaxy and IoT devices, streamlining your workflow and entertainment across screens to make everyday life easier. Marking a pivotal step for the Galaxy Book Pro line, Samsung embraced close collaboration with key industry partners Intel and Microsoft to build a fresh approach to mobile computing - one where smartphones and PCs collaborate across operating systems without ever sacrificing power for portability.

Mobile-Inspired Design Built for Modern Life

Engineered around the routines and demands of today's mobile-first users, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro makes everyday computing simpler, smoother, and more intuitive than ever. These are Samsung's most portable Galaxy Books to date: the 15-inch Galaxy Book Pro weighs just 1.15 kg and measures only 13.3 mm thin. That compact profile lets you slide it effortlessly into a backpack or bag. Despite its trimmed-down footprint, durability is enhanced thanks to military-grade² 6000-series aluminum³ - the same alloy trusted by leading aerospace manufacturers worldwide.

In addition, the Galaxy Book Pro series features Wi-Fi 6E⁶, so you can take advantage of more bandwidth and faster 6 GHz internet connections at home or in the office.

All-day battery life is vital on an ultraportable device, so both the 13-inch and 15-inch Galaxy Book Pro models are built to keep you going throughout your day. Long-lasting battery life means you will not have to pause what you are doing to hunt for a power outlet. When you do need a quick top-up, the Galaxy Book Pro series supports 65W fast charging, letting you power up quickly using a compact USB Type-C adapter.

Immersive Entertainment on a Super AMOLED Display

Equipped with cutting-edge hardware, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro series is built to take your entertainment up a notch. These are Samsung's first Windows PCs with a Super AMOLED display⁷, bringing this advanced screen technology across Samsung's entire mobile portfolio - from smartwatches and smartphones to tablets and PCs. The display carries Eye-Care certification from SGS⁸ for lower blue light emissions compared to standard LCDs, keeping your eyes comfortable during long entertainment sessions after work. The Intelligent Color Engine automatically fine-tunes your color space to match the task at hand⁹. Movies and games come alive with vibrant punch in DCI-P3 or AMOLED Native profiles; for color-critical tasks like photo editing where you need lifelike fidelity, the Galaxy Book Pro automatically optimizes color accuracy.

All those stunning visuals are backed by crisp, well-defined audio from AKG-tuned speakers. Switching on Dolby Atmos surrounds you in an even richer, more true-to-life soundstage.

Accomplish More Without Interruption via High-Performance Hardware

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro series is powered by next-generation hardware, including 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and Intel® Iris® X^e graphics. Verified on the Intel® Evo™ platform, the Galaxy Book Pro lineup strikes an industry-leading balance of raw power, immersive graphics, constant connectivity, and long battery life.¹⁰ An intelligent Intelligent Performance Manager adapts dynamically to your laptop's position, surroundings, and system load. By automatically managing fan noise, surface temperatures, and battery draw, it balances sustained performance and energy efficiency for all-day responsiveness - saying goodbye to lag and letting you multitask with ease.

The lineup also incorporates productivity-focused features that make everyday tasks more efficient and enjoyable. The redesigned Keyboard Pro utilizes a scissor mechanism that boosts typing speed and comfort, featuring wide rubber-dome keys that provide a satisfying 1 mm of travel with near-silent keypresses. It pairs with a 23% larger touchpad, giving you plenty of room to scroll through websites or pinch to zoom into fine details. The Quick Search utility rapidly locates documents by keyword, minimizing the time you spend digging through folders.

With Studio mode, you can tailor your video call framing exactly how you want without fussing over settings. Combined with Intelligent Noise Canceling, which cuts out background noise, you get crisp audio and clear video on every call. Using Screen Recorder and Samsung Studio Plus, you can also record gaming walkthroughs with voiceover narration and refine your clips using the built-in editing tools.
You can also check other configurations in Samsung laptops. You can also compare it with the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 (2021) or the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 13 (2021).
