How to pre-order the Galaxy Book 3 computers
Getting your order isn’t all that hard, but there are a few details that you’ll want to pay attention to. For starters, go to the pre-order page. There, you’ll see the different models that you can choose from. You have the option to grab a Galaxy Book 3, Galaxy Book 3 Pro, Pro, Galaxy Book 3 360, Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360, and Galaxy Book 3 Ultra.
First, go to Samsung.com. On the landing page, you’ll see the Galaxy S23 front and center. On the top bar, look for the Computing section. Under that section, you’ll want to navigate to the Galaxy Book 3 computers. Select which model you want from that drop-down menu.
When you select the model you want, you’ll be taken to the landing page for the Galaxy Books. On this page, you can look at a bunch of the specs and features that the company is hyping up. On the top right of the page, you’ll see the blue Pre-order Now button. Clicking on that will bring you to the pre-order page. Just make sure you chose the correct mode that you want.
When you see the pre-order page, then you’ll all of the options available for that model. Now, don’t be fooled by the price that you see at first. Samsung will present you with the lowest possible price for the device. This includes promotions and trade-in deals.
Customizing your computer
On the right side of the screen, you’ll see the options for customizing your Galaxy Book. Going down the list, you’ll see the options for your model, operating system (there’s only one option for this computer), processor, screen size, memory configuration, and color. Depending on the model you’re looking to get, you may only see one option available.
Extra stuff
Under that, there are some other options that will have an effect on the price. For starters, the company is heavily pushing the trade-in program. If you have an old device that you want to trade in, you’ll have the option to do so. Doing this can knock some money off of the price.
When you first enter the page, the price you see at first will be the price you pay if you have a trade-in. That’s why you shouldn’t take the first price you see to heart. If you do have an eligible device to trade in, you can choose what type of device it is, its condition, and what brand it’s from. You’ll see the price change depending on what device you choose. If you choose the No Trade-in option, you’ll see the price shoot up to the full price.
Under that, you’ll see any special promotions that the company is having at the time. If any of those appeal to you, you can add those to your order. 
Next, Samsung will present you with the Samsung Care+ membership. This is an insurance policy for your Samsung device. This plan ensures that your device is covered in the event of damage. It costs $89/year, and with it, you have unlimited repairs for drops, spills, and mechanical breakdowns. It also promises you 24/7 customer service. If you want to make sure you’re protected in the case of an accident, you might want to consider it.
Short on cash? There’s financing for your Galaxy Book 3 pre-order
Lastly, you’re able to finance your new Galaxy Book. Let’s not mince words here; these computers are expensive. Not everyone just has $2k lying around to buy fancy laptops. Because of this, Samsung offers you the option to split your payment up into installments.
You have the option to pay off your computer using monthly payments. If you can swing a bit more and you want it to get it over with faster, you can choose to split your payment into four installments paid every two weeks.
Just know that you’ll be subject to a credit check if you choose these options. If you don’t have good credit, you may be denied.
After that, you’re good to go. Just press the Pre-order now button and you’ll be able to complete your order. Above it, you’ll see a summary of your order. Be sure to check it and make sure that you’ve customized your Galaxy Book to your liking. Also, look at the price.
When you press the pre-order button, you’ll be able to enter your payment information. If you have an account, then you should have your payment information saved. If not, then you’ll enter your credit card information.
Just know that, since you’re pre-ordering this device, it will be a bit of a while before you can get your hands on it. The Galaxy Book 3 Pro and the 360 models officially launch on February 17th, so you’ll get your computer around that time. As for the Ultra model, that one will officially launch a bit later on February 23rd.
