Samsung has launched a new affordable laptop—Galaxy Book 3 Go—featuring the Windows 11 operating system and 5G connectivity. It is a successor to the Galaxy Book 2 Go, which was launched last year, and has the same Snapdragon processor that powers the newer model. It isn't clear what new features the Galaxy Book 3 Go brings compared to its predecessor. From what we can tell, it is just a repackaged Galaxy Book 2 Go, and has been launched to complete the Galaxy Book 3 lineup.
The Galaxy Book 3 Go is priced at KRW 557,700 ($430) in South Korea and will be available from January 2, 2023, through the Samsung Store (online and offline) and three mobile network carriers (KT, LG Uplus, and SKT). The laptop is designed for students and as a secondary laptop for office goers.
