Black Friday is now in full swing, bringing with it the biggest discounts of the year for goods you've always wanted but could never afford.
One such lucky product to be graced with these discounts is the highly-rated Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, which is currently having its Intel Ultra 7 Processor 258V configuration sold for $1,549.99 at Amazon instead of its usual MSRP $1999.99.
Why buy the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 laptop?
In her Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 review, our resident laptop connoisseur, Rebecca Spear, gave this laptop a high review score of 4/5 stars, praising it for its mighty performance and intuitive compatibility with drawing programs.
This is because the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is one of the first 2-in-1 Copilot+ AI laptops to feature a Lunar Lake Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processor.
With this component, it's able to run programs with near flawless execution, so you can go about your day writing documents in Microsoft Office apps, browsing the internet for research with AI assistance, or editing photos/videos with Adobe programs without any fear of technical difficulties.
As for its intuitive compatibility with drawing programs, this is thanks to the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 featuring a 16-inch OLED touchscreen and an S Pen Pro stylus.
The touchscreen has a fantastic gamut of striking colors and contrasts with full HDR+ support, brightness of 400nits, a crisp resolution of 2880 x 1800, and incredible touch-responsiveness whether you're tapping it with fingers or the S Pen Pro.
Speaking of which, the S Pen Pro is a superb PC stylus pen, which is durable, feels good to wield, and offers satisfying feedback and responsiveness when used on the touchscreen that will make you feel you're using a real pen.
Combine these aspects with a long battery life of 12 hours and a built-in camera, mic, and speaker combo, and you have a wonderful 2-in-1 laptop that will help you create stunning works of digital art in Photoshop or Adobe Fresco and ace upcoming art exams at university with ease.
The only major drawbacks of the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 are that its keyboard feels shallow, there's no magnetic holder for the S Pen Pro while it's in tablet mode, it's difficult to insert microSD cards into it, and its configurations can run at very high prices.
Its most powerful configuration of an Intel Ultra 7 Processor (258V) and 3GB RAM is especially pricey, with an MSRP of $1,999.99.
However, Black Friday has chopped down that price tag to somewhat more affordable levels at $,1549.99 at Amazon, so that any university student majoring in art or a professional desktop worker can have a better chance at grabbing it for less.

FAQ
Is the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 good for gaming?
