Samsung unveils Galaxy Book6 laptops featuring Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, AMOLED displays, and new cooling systems, with pricing from $1050 to $2500.
Samsung's Galaxy Book6 laptop series launches March 11, introducing Intel's Panther Lake Core Ultra processors across three distinct models. The lineup includes the entry-level Galaxy Book6, mid-tier Galaxy Book6 Pro (in 14-inch and 16-inch variants), and premium Galaxy Book6 Ultra. Pricing starts at $1050 for base configurations and reaches $2500 for the Ultra model, positioning Samsung's offerings in the competitive premium laptop segment.
The Galaxy Book6 Ultra stands as the flagship with its Intel Core Ultra X7 processor featuring Arc Pro B390 graphics and optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 discrete GPU. Its 16-inch AMOLED display delivers 2880x1800 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1000-nit HDR peak brightness. The Ultra model distinguishes itself with an advanced cooling system using dual-path outlet fans and enlarged heatsinks, plus a vapor chamber design that maintains performance during intensive workloads.
Mid-range options include the Galaxy Book6 Pro in both 14-inch and 16-inch configurations. Both feature AMOLED touchscreens (though at lower brightness than the Ultra) and Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7 processors. While sharing the vapor chamber cooling technology with the Ultra, the Pro models utilize a simpler heatsink design. They support up to 140W fast charging, enabling 63% battery replenishment in 30 minutes.
Entry-level Galaxy Book6 models offer 14-inch or 16-inch IPS LCD displays at 1920x1200 resolution, with optional touch functionality. These configurations use Core Ultra 5 or 7 processors without discrete GPU options and rely on conventional fan cooling. All models include WiFi 7 (Ultra) or WiFi 6E (others) connectivity and Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Notable ecosystem features include Samsung's 2MP webcam with AI-enhanced imaging across all models and multi-device integration with Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The Ultra and Pro models feature upgraded audio systems with six speakers (Ultra) or four speakers (Pro), while base models include dual speakers.
The March 11 availability positions these devices as early adopters of Intel's Panther Lake architecture, which promises improved AI processing capabilities through Neural Processing Units (NPUs) delivering up to 50 TOPS (trillion operations per second) in the Ultra model. Thermal design remains a key differentiator, with Samsung emphasizing sustained performance management through varied cooling solutions tailored to each model's power requirements.
All Galaxy Book6 models include military-grade durability certifications and Samsung's Knox security platform. Pre-orders begin February 20 through Samsung's website and authorized retailers.
