Performance scores
Samsung Galaxy Book 5 360 (15.6") (2025) — the reliability-first Lunar Lake convertible
The Galaxy Book 5 360 15.6 at $1,232 pairs an Intel Core Ultra 5 236V with an Arc 130V integrated GPU and 16 GB of RAM. The flagged strength is reliability at 86 — 68.6% above the ultrabook median of 51. The flagged weakness is graphics, where the scoring pipeline has no matched entry for this integrated GPU (a coverage gap, not a literal zero) — treat graphics claims with hands-on verification.
Where it holds up
Office productivity posts 65.25 (high) and overall performance reads 37.7 (mid) on the efficient Lunar Lake platform. Photo design lands at 35 (mid), portability at 56.2 (mid) for the folding 15.6-inch format, and value reads 45.9 (mid). The reliability reading is the sheet's stand-out axis.
Where it falls short
The 16 GB memory ceiling sits at half the 32 GB class median, and the low bands are graphics-led: gaming reads 19, modeling 17 and engineering CAD 22 — integrated-graphics territory on the coverage-limited entry. No axis reaches the top band, and the price sits in the premium convertible tier.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2025 cohort rate is 12% per year — the still-steep early band of a current-generation tier.
Alternatives to consider
The Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 16 at $1,084 steps up to 32 GB and a stronger CPU reading (83.94, high); the Galaxy Book 4 360 15.6 at the same $1,084 is the conventional-platform route with reliability at 82; and the Galaxy Book 3 360 15.6 at $954 is the value-tier fallback.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. A reliability-forward 2025 convertible (86, high) with quiet office strength — bought for longevity rather than graphics, where gaming 19 and modeling 17 set honest expectations.
