However, when purely streaming video it lasts a little over nine-and-a-half hours - better, if not nearly class-leading. It's not going to beat a MacBook Pro 16 or LG Gram 16. And in this top-end mode the laptop doesn’t reach the kind of peak performance you might see in a chunkier laptop with this CPU. In Geekbench 5 it scores 9455 points, where laptops with the same processor can score 1000 points more, around 10% extra.We conducted three separate battery life tests, which tasked the laptop with continuously surfing the web over Wi-Fi with the screen set to 150 nits of brightness. On average, the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 lasted for 7 hours and 46 minutes. This is an abysmal average on its own, but when compared to its predecessor which lasted four hours longer, it's horrendous.

This will be because Samsung keeps a lid on the turbo mode, to lower heat generation. And I'm hardly mad about this.Besides excellent color representation, this display also supports touch and inking via the Samsung S Pen. I find the S Pen often superior and more fun to use than Microsoft's Surface Pen, which applies here.
