"Pro" means trackpoint, TPM, and repairability. Samsung preys on clueless consumers who don't know better.

Yep touchpad buttons or trackpoint are to be expected in business/pro laptops. Those who still brand them as such without including them are clueless.

First, it was Notebook 9 Pro, then Notebook 9 Pen, then Galaxy Book Flex, and now it's Galaxy Book Pro 360?
Samsung's marketing department is switching their laptop name every year! XD.

I know a few people who got Samsung laptops for work, and they HATE the keyboard. So I tried one, to me it felt a lot like Apple Butterfly switches from 2016. I couldn't get used to it.

As always, I know some people will buy these for the S-Pen. Again I tried that, iPad is still years ahead, even the non-pro iPad models have better Pen experience than Wacom EMR on a 60Hz IPS Windows laptop.

Some things other people mentioned - the Display AR, Touchpad buttons, Trackpoint, etc - I believe these are so much more subjective.
Me? Having tried multiple laptops, it's nice to have options, so ideally I'd prefer 3:2, 3 buttons and a trackpoint (even though I would barely use it, I'm pro-choice).
While many others still prefer 16:9 - for videos and spit-screen multitasking, no buttons for bigger touchpad area, and no trackpoint that might distract typing.

Above everything else though, Samsung laptops are some of the most overpriced laptops in the market. I have no idea why.
