Samsung recently unveiled its latest budget-friendly laptop, the Galaxy Book 3 Go, featuring the Windows 11 operating system and 5G connectivity. Serving as a successor to the Galaxy Book 2 Go launched last year, it maintains continuity with the utilization of the Snapdragon processor from its newer counterpart. The specific enhancements introduced with the Galaxy Book 3 Go in comparison to its forerunner remain somewhat elusive. Initial impressions suggest it might be more of a refined iteration of the Galaxy Book 2 Go, strategically positioned to complement the Galaxy Book 3 lineup.
Pricing for the Galaxy Book 3 Go is set at KRW 557,700 ($430) in South Korea, with availability scheduled from January 2, 2023, through the Samsung Store (both online and offline) and three major mobile network carriers (KT, LG Uplus, and SKT). Primarily designed with students in mind, it also targets professionals seeking a supplementary laptop for office use.
Delving into the specifications and features of the Galaxy Book 3 Go 5G reveals a 14-inch IPS LCD screen boasting Full HD resolution and an anti-glare coating. Accompanied by a 720p webcam, a tenkeyless keyboard, and an expansive trackpad, this laptop harnesses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3 processor. Comprising four Cortex-A78 CPU cores, four Cortex-A55 CPU cores, and an Adreno GPU, the chipset is meticulously crafted using TSMC’s 6nm process. The device is equipped with 4GB LPDRRx RAM, 128GB eUFS storage, and a microSD card slot.
