Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra

The new generation flagship laptop from Samsung, which, according to the Korean giant, is designed to break Apple's hegemony in the professional and creative laptop market by competing with the MacBook Pro. In the production of this line, all the most modern technologies and the most powerful hardware that can only be found on the market were used. The 16-inch screen is based on an AMOLED matrix with a fixed resolution of 2880x1800 pixels, which is not quite usual for this field, overclocked with a 120-Hz refresh rate, which is more common to see in gaming laptops.

It supports HDR10 format and stands out from other laptops of the company due to the extended 120% coverage of the DCI P3 gamut. This set of features makes this series an interesting choice for creative users involved in graphic design, programming, professional photo / video processing of high and ultra-high resolution. Through the use of the Intel Evo platform, representatives of this line are capable of small feats in terms of performance and autonomy.

The manufacturer claims an impressive 17 hours of operation without recharging in video viewing mode (with a screen brightness of 45%). The motor is a hybrid 14-core Core i9 13900H chip, which is actually the most powerful model in the Raptor Lake mobile line. A key feature of the processor is the division of cores into 2 types: P-cores are activated under heavy load, E-cores are responsible for simple casual tasks that do not require anything beyond the norm from the processor.

All this allows the device to manage power more efficiently and enable Turbo Boost in a timely manner when it is really needed. A worthy company for CPU is the near-top discrete GeForce RTX 4070 video card with 8 GB of video memory, support for advanced ray tracing and the third generation of DLSS. To prevent the accelerator from wasting precious battery power, the manufacturer set a 50-watt power consumption limit.

In this regard, the Galaxy Book3 Ultra is seriously inferior to gaming laptops, in which the RTX 4070 has a TDP of 130 to 150 watts. The list of additional features reflects current trends and includes a convenient chiclet keyboard with a full-size Numpad and solid white backlighting, a network module with Wi-Fi 6E support, 2 pairs of stereo speakers from the Austrian manufacturer AKG, a built-in card reader and an advanced webcam with a 1080p sensor and multiple microphones for better voice transmission. In addition, the manufacturer took care of data security by equipping each laptop in this series with a TPM cryptographic module and a fingerprint scanner.
