1 SAMSUNG GALAXY BOOK PRO
• From £1,099, samsung.com
Every so often a company looks at an established market sector and asks why it is the way it is. With the Galaxy Book Pro, Samsung has narrowed its eyes at laptops, and determined that these things just aren’t mobile enough by half. And that doesn’t just mean portable; with the Galaxy Book Pro (and the Pro 360, its flip-top cousin) Samsung is tapping into its considerable experience with smartphones and transferring some likely technology across.
This is not a hybrid as such – the ARM CPU of the thin and light Galaxy Book S is gone, replaced by a slightly more Windows-friendly PC processor – but the DNA of phones is there in the super-thin AMOLED display, in the incredibly skinny case design, in the blue or white styling, and in the weight, an absolutely minuscule 870g in the 13.3-inch version. That’s almost 100g lighter than LG’s Gram, previously the benchmark ultra-light laptop.
