The Galaxy Book 5 Pro features a four-speaker stereo audio system with Dolby Atmos. The built-in webcam supports Staggered HDR, delivering crisper images with a wide dynamic range.
Other highlights include a backlit keyboard, a large multitouch trackpad, one HDMI 2.1 port, one USB Type-A port, two USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card slot.
