Now that you have been introduced to the Book3 Pro and the Book3 Pro 360, it’s time to dive into the Ultra model of the lineup, which claims to offer the ultimate, “unrivalled Galaxy-connected experience.”
First up, let’s look at the specs. In terms of display, it is similar to the Pro and Pro 360, offering a 16in 3K Dynamic AMOLED display with a 16:10 ratio. This laptop also runs on Windows 11 but where the real difference is seen on the CPU and GPU front. The Ultra packs on 13th Gen Intel Core i9 or i7 processors alongside the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU or the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU.
Other improvements on this model include the increased RAM and ROM, with the base model offering 32GB RAM and 512GB ROM going up to 32GB RAM and 1TB ROM (expandable via expansion slot). The laptop is also the heaviest of the new models weighing in at 1.79kgs. On the audio and camera front, everything remains the same with the 1080p FHD camera accompanied by the studio-quality dual-mic. The AKG quad speakers with Dolby Atmos make an appearance here as well.
You get an HDMI slot, a USB-A port, a microSD card slot, a mic slot, and two USB-Type C ports with Thunderbolt 4 for connectivity. The device supports 5G Sub6, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.1. The 76Wh battery is charged with a 100W Type-C charger.
So what makes this device so seamless, you ask? There are essentially four new features. The first feature on the list is the Second Screen feature, which allows you to use your Galaxy tablet as an extra monitor. The Samsung Multi Control feature, on the other hand, allows you to control your Galaxy phone and tablets using the keyboard and trackpad on the Galaxy Book3 Ultra. While the Phone Link feature allows you to connect to a hotspot with a single click and resume your journey from phone to PC. Finally, the Expert RAW Auto Share feature allows you to sync RAW photos taken with your Galaxy S23 series with the Galaxy Book3 Ultra for professional editing. Convenient, eh! (provided you have the whole ecosystem that is)
So if you are ready to dive into the seamless integration that comes with the Samsung eco-system, try and get your hands on the Book3 Ultra, available in a Graphite colourway.
