Samsung’s newest laptop comes with hundreds of AI features

tl;dr

  • Samsung's new Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, launching later this month, will feature over 300 AI-accelerated functions.
  • Key AI features include Circle to Search, Chat Assist, and Live Translate, with a powerful NPU handling up to 40 TOPS.
  • The laptop sports a 16-inch AMOLED display, Intel Core Ultra processors, and a slim design with a battery lasting 25 hours.

Samsung announced Sept. 4 that its newest laptop will feature “more than 300 AI-accelerated features”. The company also confirmed it will be the first of a new series of laptops.

The Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is not a huge departure from Samsung’s last laptop, the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360. One of the Book5’s main upgrades is to Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) which the company says will make it “one of our most powerful PCs.”

Which AI features are included on the new Samsung laptop?

Samsung is already riding a wave of AI development, with many AI features already included in its line of smartphones and wearables. Many of these features will also be included in the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 thanks to Microsoft Phone Link. This allows users to connect their Galaxy phones to their PC for a larger display.

Popular Galaxy AI features like Circle to Search let users quickly Google search whatever is on their screen, whether it be text, image or video. Chat Assist, Live Translate and Transcript Assist will also enhance users’ communication in real time.

The laptop’s neural processing unit (NPU) will be capable of handling up to 40 trillions of operations per second (TOPS).
