Samsung wants to compete with Apple by emulating its ecosystem play. Over the past few years, the company has been slowly expanding its Galaxy ecosystem of devices and custom software features. Today, during the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event, the company revealed its most advanced and ambitious laptop ever, the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra.

The Galaxy Book 3 Ultra is among the most feature-rich Windows laptops and aims to compete with Apple's latest MacBook Pro. It will be available starting February 22, 2023, but its pre-orders have started already.
