Samsung unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Book, Samsung Galaxy Book Pro and Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 this week showing its continued commitment to releasing new laptops after a long spell of being out of the European market from 2014 until last year.

Samsung says that the 2021 generation mobile PCs have the power of a PC with the mobile DNA of a Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

For the Samsung Galaxy Book Series, Samsung embraced open collaboration, working with industry-leading partners Microsoft and Intel, to build a new approach to mobile computing, where smartphones and PCs work together flawlessly across operating systems while allowing no sacrifice in power or portability.

“With the Galaxy Book Series, we have addressed some of the wider industry pain points associated with computers, including connectivity, battery and file sharing to give a truly mobile-first experience,” said James Kitto, vice president of Sales, Samsung UK & Ireland.

“Connecting seamlessly with our Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, we believe the Samsung Galaxy Book Series will future-proof our customers as the UK gradually opens up — providing power, connectivity and portability in the new era of how we work and play.”

Battery life is crucial to mobility, and the new Samsung Galaxy Book, Samsung Galaxy Book Pro and Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 are built to keep you going through the day. Samsung Galaxy Book Series supports 65W Fast Charging, so you can generate up the device quickly with a USB-C type adapter. This all-in-one adapter means you only ever need to carry one charger for all of your Galaxy devices, all perfectly portable to pop in your bag.
