You get a lot of other great features for those prices like a 1080p webcam, a quad-speaker audio system, a fingerprint reader on the power button and a larger 76-watt-hour battery.

The good news is almost all of these things trickle down to the Pro models, with the big exceptions being the Core i9 processor and the discrete graphics.

The nice thing about that is the 16-inch Galaxy Book 3 Pro laptop is 4 millimeters thinner and it's about a half pound lighter than the 16.5-mm thick, 4-pound (1.8-kilogram) Ultra.

This extra layer of interoperability is something Apple does well with its iPhones, iPads and MacBooks, and Samsung is quickly catching up with help from Intel and Microsoft.

They're nice and clean, if a bit unexciting, especially compared to Samsung's phones, which come in several colors -- these come in graphite or beige.
