Samsung‘s first Galaxy Unpacked event of 2023 is just a few days away. While the Galaxy S23 series will be the star of the show, the company will also unveil a bunch of new laptops from the same stage. It will launch no less than five Galaxy Book 3 series Windows laptops. Leaks have revealed the key specs of some of these machines recently. Today, we have visuals of the Galaxy Book 3 360, Galaxy Book 3 Pro, and Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 courtesy of tipster Ishan Agarwal (via), confirming the design.

As you might expect, the two “360” models are convertible laptops. The screens on these devices can rotate back (360 degrees), allowing you to use them as a tablet. That means their displays support stylus input.

We can see both Galaxy Book 3 360 and Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 have a USB port, a microSD slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. A front-facing camera can also be seen on the top bezel, while both appear to have bottom-firing speakers. Overall, these two devices don’t look much different.

However, one of them getting the Pro branding means it should pack beefier specs. Earlier rumors said the Galaxy Book 3 360 will feature a 15-inch display, though there’s also a possibility of it coming with a 14-inch panel. Under the hood, it will reportedly have a 13th Gen Intel Evo Core i7 processor. Unfortunately, that’s all we know about it as of now.

The Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360, on the other hand, is said to come with a 16-inch Super AMOLED screen of 3K resolution (2880 x 1800 pixels). It will also be available with a Core i7 processor with integrated Iris Xe graphics, up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 1TB SSD.

The Galaxy Book 3 Pro will come in two sizes

This leak also gives us our first look at the Galaxy Book 3 Pro. While this device isn’t getting a convertible display, Samsung will reportedly offer it in two screen sizes — 14-inch and 16-inch. The rest of its internals will likely remain unchanged from the 360 version. The smaller model will get a smaller battery, though. We are hearing of a 63Whr battery in the 14-inch model and a 76Whr battery in the 16-inch model. Both options will give you 65W fast charging.

These three Samsung laptops will be sandwiched between the Galaxy Book 3 and Galaxy Book 3 Ultra. The former is the least specced model in the lineup, while the latter is the highest specced. It is the first Ultra-branded laptop from the Korean behemoth. Just a few more days of wait and we will get our official look at all of these machines. We will keep you posted with any new information that emerges ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked next week.
