For those who are shopping for a powerful laptop but want to look beyond the best laptop brands, why not try the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360? It’s currently available from Samsung with a promotional trade-in credit program that can get you up to $500 off its sticker price of $1,700, so you can potentially pay as low as $1,200 for this device. You’re going to have to hurry if you’re interested in taking advantage of this offer though, as there’s no telling how much time is remaining before it ends.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 laptop

The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is a 2-in-1 laptop in the convertible category, which means it transforms from laptop mode to tablet mode by flipping its 16-inch AMOLED touchscreen all the way back to below the keyboard, as explained by our laptop buying guide. The device maintains its portability though, as it is incredibly thin and offers excellent battery life. The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is also pretty quick in terms of performance, as it’s equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processor, Intel Arc Graphics, and 16GB of RAM. It also ships with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in a 1TB SSD, which should provide more than enough storage space for the software and files that you’ll need.

We compared the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 versus Apple MacBook Air 15 as they’re both remarkably thin and light machines. The advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 over the Apple MacBook Air 15 include its 2-in-1 capabilities, a touchscreen that works with Samsung’s S Pen stylus, the presence of both modern and legacy ports, and a more spectacular display with 2.8K resolution.

If you’re in the market for 2-in-1 laptop deals, you should check out the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360. If you’ve got some eligible devices that you can trade in, you can get up to $500 off its original price of $1,700, possibly dropping its price to $1,200. The boosted trade-in program isn’t going to last forever though, so if you want to enjoy more credit than usual towards buying the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, you’ll need to proceed with the transaction as soon as possible.
