The latest flagship Samsung Galaxy laptop is the Galaxy Book 3 Pro series. It improves on its predecessors thanks to a 16:10 aspect ratio screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and newer 13th-generation Intel CPUs under the hood. We can’t forget the jump in screen size to 14 and 16 inches, too.
While we haven’t gotten our hands on them yet, these are shaping up to be great devices based on specs. However, no laptop purchase is complete without some accessories. There’s a lot that you can buy, from monitors for enhanced multitasking to docking stations that’ll help you connect to multiple displays. There are even cheap basics like sleeves and spare chargers. Here’s a look at just some of the best accessories you can buy for the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro series.
Docks and adapters
Both the 14-inch and 16-inch Galaxy Book 3 Pro have a lot of ports. You get Thunderbolt 4, USB Type-A, HDMI, a microSD card slot, and a headphone jack, which is more than the average laptop offers. However, if you plan to use your Galaxy Book 3 Pro at your desk, then a dock, dongle, or adapter will be a great extra buy since you can enjoy even more ports for peripherals like printers, extra monitors, and external storage.
