The Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is a high-end 2-in-1 laptop with a 16-inch 3K AMOLED touchscreen, 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, up to 1TB SSD. It's priced at ₹1,63,990 in India for i7/512GB.

Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 Review: Best 2-in-1 ultrabook?

The Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is a high-end 2-in-1 laptop with a 16-inch 3K AMOLED touchscreen, 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, up to 1TB SSD. It's priced at ₹1,63,990 in India for i7/512GB.

This is the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360. Its predecessor laid a solid foundation for the company's laptop ambitions, and this latest iteration starting at almost 1,64000 Rupees, builds on and refines what was there last year.&nbsp;
There are some issues here too, and I'll cover all of them in this review but before I get into all of that, please do subscribe to our channel. &nbsp;Also, if you enjoy this video, please give it a thumbs up as well.
DESIGN &amp; S-PEN
If you're someone who values portability in a laptop, then the Book 3 Pro 360 is definitely one to consider when looking for the best 16-inch options. Sure, it's a bit thicker and heavier than the previous 360 model, but everywhere else it's so slim and lightweight that sometimes I forgot I was holding a 16-inch laptop in my hand.&nbsp;
That being said, it's still a very big device, and using it as a giant tablet can prove to be a bit cumbersome... A more logical choice would be to use it in tent mode, which is a great way to enjoy content.

Nonetheless, the 2-in-1 design serves a clear purpose as it invites you to draw on its vast canvas.
The inclusion of an S Pen makes this a great choice for creative individuals and while I don't possess the artistic skills to fully take advantage of it, I do appreciate the buttery smooth responsiveness that it offers.
The only aspect that worries me is Samsung's continued lack of a dedicated storage compartment for the S Pen
Of course, the stylus can be attached magnetically to the lid but this solution is not ideal for ensuring that it remains securely housed within the device. Therefore, misplacing the S Pen is a very real possibility.
Apart from that, I am generally pleased with the overall construction of this laptop. It comes with a robust aluminium chassis that has very little flex, and the hinges are quite strong, keeping the display securely in place, no matter how aggressively you type. Although I'm not sure how well it will hold up against screen touches in the long run as there is a bit of wobble, &nbsp;so you might want to use it in tablet or tent mode if you&rsquo;re going to be using the touchscreen a lot.
The design itself exudes a sense of minimalism, featuring either a light beige hue or this graphite shade. You won't see any unnecessary bling here, resulting in a refined appearance that complements any setting.
UTILITY
The Pro 360 comes with a decent range of ports, including both modern and legacy options. On the left side, you'll find two thunderbolt USB-C ports and a full-size HDMI plug. On the right side, there is a headphone jack, a full-size USB-A port, and a microSD card slot.
This is pretty versatile for an ultraportable but it would have been better if the laptop had USB-C ports on both sides for increased charging flexibility.
Also, the decision to include a microSD card slot instead of a full-sized SD card slot seems perplexing, especially if the target audience comprises creators who often store camera photos and videos on SD cards.&nbsp;
Additionally, there's a 1080p webcam, which can be a bit finicky in low lighting and the image quality appears somewhat cloudy, yet it serves its purpose for the occasional video conference.
Similarly, the AKG tuned speakers on this device are satisfactory for video calls, but they lack depth when playing music or watching YouTube, and I was expecting something with a bit more clarity in this price range. On the other hand, the fingerprint sensor is very reliable and always quick to unlock.&nbsp;
DISPLAY
The best feature of the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 is the screen. It truly stands out. This year's model boasts a 16-inch, 3K AMOLED display with a more practical 16:10 aspect ratio and a 120Hz refresh rate. That's a significant upgrade from the previous model's 15.6-inch 60Hz 1080p panel, and the difference is stunning.
The only downside here is that the screen has a highly reflective and extremely glossy surface, which can make it challenging to use in direct sunlight. I had also hoped that the 16:10 aspect ratio would have reduced the size of the bottom bezel, but unfortunately, that isn't the case.
Despite these inconveniences, I still think this a fantastic display and it's definitely one of the biggest reasons why anyone would buy this laptop, even though it comes with a higher price tag.
SAMSUNG ECOSYSTEM 
Another major reason to consider purchasing this product is if you already own a bunch of other Galaxy devices.&nbsp; Samsung has been focusing on enhancing the connected experiences between its devices. A great example of this is Samsung's Multi control feature, which allows you to use the laptop's keyboard and touchpad to control your Galaxy smartphone. It also lets you easily copy, paste, or move files between devices.
Then there's the second screen feature, which transforms Galaxy tablets into an additional monitor. I tested this with the Galaxy Tab S8+, and its spacious display made for an excellent secondary screen. These tools are incredibly useful, so, if you own a recent Samsung phone or tablet and can integrate them into your workflow, I highly doubt that you will be disappointed.
PERFORMANCE&nbsp; &nbsp; Now, let's get into the technical side of things. The Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 boasts an Intel Core i7-1360p processor with Iris XE graphics, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to 1TB SSD.
Over the past few weeks, I have been using this machine for my daily workflow, which includes multitasking with several Microsoft Edge tabs, streaming YouTube videos and Spotify in the background, and writing on Google documents. I am happy to report that this laptop is able to handle all these tasks without any hiccups.&nbsp;
It works really efficiently for all sorts of productivity tasks but it is important to note that this is not a graphical powerhouse, and therefore it is not ideal for tasks such as heavy gaming and 4K editing. I did notice that it got a bit warm when I tried to export a video on Adobe Premiere Pro but thankfully, the hardware did not have to throttle clock speeds drastically.
Battery life is another aspect where the Pro 360 comes up short. I often needed to plug it in for a charge after just a few hours of use. The battery saver warning typically appears after around 6-7 hours of use, which is not ideal. On the bright side, the power brick is compact enough and convenient to carry around, and it charges the laptop quickly at 65W.
KEYBOARD &amp; TOUCH PAD
Finally, let's talk about the keyboard on the Pro 360. &nbsp;It offers well-sized keycaps that are spaced out nicely and while I wouldn't say it's on par with Dell's XPS line or Apple's Magic Keyboard on their latest MacBooks, I still found it comfortable for typing for extended periods of time. The ability to adjust the backlight to adapt to ambient lighting conditions is also a big plus.
My only gripe with the keyboard is the actual layout itself. Samsung decided to include a number pad on the right side of the keyboard, which may disrupt your muscle memory if you are accustomed to a more conventional laptop layout.
The touch pad is now 39 percent larger than the one on the Book 2 Pro 360 and significantly larger than a lot of its competition. Adapting to its size and off-centre placement was a bit of a learning curve for me, but with some time and practice, I found that navigating with it became quite effortless.
 VERDICT
When all things are considered, the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 &nbsp;is a solid follow-up to its predecessor, and I must say that my experience with it has been mostly positive.
Despite the average battery life, the enhancements made in the display and performance departments make it a worthwhile contender in the premium laptop segment.
Those who own the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphones will particularly appreciate the seamless software integration, but most importantly, if you require a spacious screen for both work and content consumption, then this bad boy should be at the top of your list.

A quarter of jobs could soon be automated as a result of breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, says investment bank Goldman Sachs&nbsp;

Will a bot take your job? Well, the chances are quite high, says Goldman Sachs.&nbsp; Research by investment bank, Goldman Sachs highlighted that &lsquo;generative&rsquo; AI systems such as ChatGPT &ndash; a computer program able to create writing and other content indistinguishable from that of a human &ndash; could spark an economic boom and increase global gross domestic product by 7 per cent in a decade.
Two-thirds of jobs in the US and Europe could be affected, report authors Joseph Briggs and Devesh Kodnani calculated &ndash; with administrative and legal sectors are expected to be the most impacted, with 46% of administrative jobs and 44% of legal jobs being substitutable by AI.
Meanwhile, more complex jobs are expected to remain the sole preserve of humans &ndash; making court rulings and checking the health of critically ill patients are unlikely to be replaced by AI. Physical and outdoor roles such as construction are also unlikely to be affected.

Twitter source code leaks online on GitHub

Twitter is in the news again, this time for a rather unexpected reason.

Twitter is seeking information from Microsoft-owned platform GitHub on the person responsible for leaking parts of the social media platform's source code.
The code is used to power Twitter's online network, and was reportedly uploaded to GitHub by a user called "FreeSpeechEnthusiast".
Twitter has filed a case with the US District Court for the Northern District of California to request that GitHub hand over all information relating to the user.
The code was removed from the platform at Twitter's request last Friday. Twitter has not commented on the issue, nor has GitHub.

The new Nothing Ear (2) promises to sound better and be superior in every way compared to the Ear (1). Is it refined enough to compete with established rivals at ₹9,999?

Nothing Ear (2) review: A worthy sequel

The new Nothing Ear (2) promises to sound better and be superior in every way compared to the Ear (1). Is it refined enough to compete with established rivals at ₹9,999?

Nothing is still considered a new brand, but it has been around for long enough to launch its second-gen product.
With these new Ear 2s, the company also believes that it can compete with established players in the market, because they are priced at ₹9,999.&nbsp;
Confidence in engineering or just overconfidence? Time to find out!
Design
The Nothing Ear 2 looks almost identical to the Ear 1s, because this time around, the focus has been on refinement, and not breaking new ground with design.&nbsp;
So, you yet again get a semi-transparent aesthetic with these earbuds. In fact, the earbuds are exactly the same as their predecessors, except for the Ear (2) branding.&nbsp;
However, the charging case has shrunk marginally. But it is still too big and thick. This becomes all the more apparent when you compare it to its rivals.&nbsp;
For me, earbuds are considered portable if they pass the coin pocket test, and this case isn't even close.&nbsp;
However, while the case might be bulky, the buds themselves are supremely comfortable, and you can easily wear them for extended periods of time. You also get additional eartips in the retail box to customise the fit to your liking.&nbsp;
Moving on, the Ear 2s have an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. But what&rsquo;s awesome is that the charging case has an IP55 rating, and that&rsquo;s something you do not find on most TWS earbuds.
Connectivity
The Ear 2s have Bluetooth 5.3, and connect to your Android or iOS device via the Nothing X app. This app is quite intuitive to use, with all the controls laid out in a straightforward way.&nbsp;
These buds also feature Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair for quick connectivity.
When it comes to Bluetooth codecs, you get support for AAC, SBC and the new LHDC 5.0. However, aptX support is still missing.&nbsp;
There is also a low-lag mode on these earbuds. I highly recommend switching it on if you intend to use it with a Windows 11 computer to avoid latency.&nbsp;
Controls
Controls are my favourite part of the Nothing Ear 2.&nbsp;
Gone are the swipe-based gestures of the Ear 1s, you now get pressure sensitive squeeze controls on the stems. Each earbud has a dedicated pressure sensor which can be easily located while wearing since it is slightly recessed.&nbsp;
This leaves zero room for accidental triggers and adds to the overall user experience.
The squeeze-based gestures for each earbud can also be individually customised in the Nothing X app.
You also get wear detection on the Ear 2s, which, in my experience, worked pretty well.
Audio &amp; Call Quality
The Ear 2s come with 11.6 mm custom drivers and are 24 bit hi-res audio certified.
Out of the box, the More Bass setting is enabled by default.&nbsp;
However, the overall sound signature of these earbuds is quite bright. This means that irrespective of the EQ setting you&rsquo;re in, the treble always makes its presence felt.&nbsp;
But, the only time the high frequencies can be overpowering is when you are in the More Treble setting.&nbsp;
Despite the high emphasis on treble, these buds are also capable of producing rich and deep bass in the aforementioned More Bass mode. The balance between bass and treble in this mode will be enjoyed by a lot of Gen-Z folks.
You get 5 EQ settings in the app, including a custom one. The custom setting looks extremely simple with dedicated sliders for bass, treble, and mid frequencies. However, playing around with these sliders does not alter the audio output as dramatically as you might expect.
But, things get really interesting from here. You also have a personal sound profile in the app, for which, you have to take a rather annoying hearing test so that it can adjust the sound profile of these earbuds according to your ears.&nbsp;
It looked very gimmicky at first, but it positively changed the audio performance of these buds for me.&nbsp;
The same EQ setting sounds drastically different with the personal sound profile enabled and disabled, with the former sounding better.
I can just hope this custom sound thing works as well for everyone as it worked for me.
Anyway, at full volume, the sound also does not get distorted at all.
Also, the call quality via the in-built mics of these earbuds was pretty impressive, with good environmental noise cancellation.&nbsp;
ANC
The Ear 2s feature both, ANC and transparency modes. The ANC is also adaptive and can set its intensity automatically.
However, the ANC performance is mediocre at best. It's decent for fans and AC hums, but that&rsquo;s about it.&nbsp;
On the flipside, there is no artificial suction in your ears with ANC on, so there is no ear fatigue.
The transparency mode is also very impressive. It sounds extremely natural, without giving you a feeling that noises around you are force-fed into your ears.&nbsp;
Battery Life
Nothing claims 4 hours of battery life per earbud with the ANC switched on, and I could easily hit that number during my testing period. However, do keep in mind that using the higher-res LHDC codec all the time will have an adverse effect on the battery life.&nbsp;
If you have ANC switched off, and are not using LHDC at all, you can extract a combined 36-hour battery life from these earbuds, but what&rsquo;s the point if the key features of the earbuds are not put to use?
Just like the Ear 1s, you also get wireless charging as standard here.&nbsp;
Verdict
The Nothing Ear 2s are a well-rounded pair of earbuds that excel in most areas, while offering good audio performance.&nbsp;
It is worth noting that achieving the best audio output requires some effort, but this also means you have control over the sound quality.&nbsp;
At ₹9,999, these earbuds offer a fantastic value, especially if you appreciate Nothing's unique aesthetics.
