Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 13 (2021) — the folding featherweight
The Galaxy Book Pro 360 13 at $739 is the convertible of the 2021 Samsung trio: a Core i5-1130G7 with 16 GB of RAM in a 1.04 kg folding body — the flagged strength, 28.8% below the class median. The flagged weakness is the 16 GB memory ceiling, half the class median.
Where it holds up
Portability posts 88 (top) — the highest reading of the $739 shelf and second only to the Prestige 13 machines on this batch's whole ultrabook shelf — and mobility reads 81 (+26.6%). The fold at 1.04 kg is the product: five years on, the carry formula still outperforms most of the newer field.
Where it falls short
The 16 GB ceiling is the flagged weakness, and the platform reads its age honestly: performance 33.66 (low), gaming 23 (low), modeling 19 (low), engineering CAD 22 (low), with office at 62.75 (mid) and value 48.5 (mid). Like its fixed-body siblings, this is a light-duty machine whose entire case is the weight and the hinge — nothing in the data argues otherwise.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2021 cohort rate is 9.44% per year — five years of decay already in the $739 price.
Alternatives to consider
The Galaxy Book Flex 2 Alpha at the same $739 is the fixed sibling at 1.2 kg-class with the same sheet; the Galaxy Book Pro 15 at the same price adds the MX450 and photo design 84 for a little weight; the Galaxy Book 2 360 at $840 brings the 1235U generation to the fold for $101 more.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The folding featherweight: a top-band portability reading at a five-year-old price — bought for the carry and the hinge, with the low performance bands the accepted trade.
