Samsung Galaxy Book 6 laptop

Samsung recently hit the stage at CES to show off its newest laptop lineup: the Samsung Galaxy Book6 laptop series. These 2026 models are all about staying cool, lasting longer, and packing more power than ever before. Whether you’re a casual browser or a heavy-duty creator, there’s a version for you. If this piques your interest, here is the lowdown on what makes these new laptops worth watching.

 

 

The Lineup

Samsung is sticking with its three-tier approach, so you can pick the one that fits your lifestyle (and budget): The Ultra, the Pro, and the Standard models. Starting with the ‘Standard’ model, this is the entry budget-friendly model that is available in either the 14-inch or the 16-inch models. Next is the ‘Pro’ model, which comes with better features than the standard model, and also comes in either the 14-inch or the 16-inch models. Then lastly, there is the ultimate powerhouse, the ‘Ultra’ model, which will come with even better features and specs than the ‘Pro’, but will only be available in the 16-inch size. This one will most likely be the most expensive of the three but will be created to cater for those who prefer a laptop with the best performance.

Gorgeous Screens with Less Glare

If you go for the Pro or Ultra models, you’re getting a Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen. These screens are smart—with an adjustable refresh rates to keep the display looking smooth (from 30Hz to 120Hz) based on whether you’re playing a game or just reading an article. Samsung also included ‘Gorilla Glass’ that cuts down reflections by a massive 75%. This means you won’t be staring at your own reflection while trying to work in a bright room. The standard model uses a solid IPS LCD screen, which is great for everyday tasks but lacks the deep blacks of the AMOLED versions.

 

Serious Power Under the Hood

The Pro and Ultra models are using Intel’s latest “18A” processors. In plain English? The chips are much more efficient, which helps the Samsung Galaxy Book 6 laptop run faster without getting as hot. For gamers & content creators, the Ultra model will include Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 or 5070 graphics cards, making it a beast for video editing or gaming. For everyday users, the Intel Arc graphics will be included in other models with a guaranteed 70% faster performance boost than last year’s versions. In terms of storage, most models come with plenty of space (up to 2TB) and even have an extra slot if you want to add more storage later.

 

 

Battery Life That Actually Lasts

No one likes hunting for a power outlet every two hours. The Pro and Ultra models now promise up to 30 hours of video playback on a single charge. That’s five hours more than last year’s models. If you do run low, the Ultra model supports super-fast charging, getting you to 63% battery in just 30 minutes.

 

Slim Designs and Better Cooling

Samsung redesigned the insides to make sure these laptops don’t sound like a jet engine taking off. They used a new “vapor chamber” cooling system and bigger fans to move more air quietly. The Pro is the featherweight of the bunch, with the 14-inch version weighing just 1.24kg and measuring a tiny 11.6mm thick. Even the beefy Ultra model stays under 2kg, so it won’t break your back in a backpack.

 

Sound and Connections

In terms of other features the Ultra features a 6-speaker system with “force-cancelling” woofers. This basically means you get great bass without the laptop vibrating on your desk. And with input ports, you’ll get high-speed Thunderbolt 4 ports on the Pro and Ultra, while the standard model keeps an Ethernet port for those who prefer a wired internet connection.

 

When Can You Get One?

The Galaxy Book6 series is launching in select markets later this month. We’re still waiting on the official price tags, but expect more info to drop very soon. If you’re looking for a work-specific “Enterprise Edition,” those should start appearing around April. Be sure to check out the review in the near future of the Samsung Galaxy Book6 laptops.
