The two clocks

A device dies twice: once when the hardware wears out, once when the manufacturer stops patching it. Whichever arrives first is the one that actually ends its life. For the Samsung Galaxy Book3, that is the manufacturer’s security-update cutoff.

Estimated. After this date the Samsung Galaxy Book3 keeps working but stops receiving patches, which is the point to stop using it for banking and email.

Lifespan by how hard you use it

Usage moves the hardware clock, not the security one. Worked hard, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 wears out before its patches run out, so how you use it genuinely changes when it needs replacing.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Book3 worth repairing?

Battery
~$150
Screen
~$275
Replace
~$1270

A Samsung Galaxy Book3 still has about 2 years of supported life, so a $150 battery works out to roughly $5 per remaining month — well under what replacing it now costs per month over the same span. Run your own numbers in the valuation tool.
