Engineered for Unmatched Performance
 

Pairing cutting-edge hardware with immersive visuals and audio in a slim and portable design, the Galaxy Book6 series delivers Samsung’s most advanced PC performance yet. Powered by Intel^® Core^™ Ultra Series 3 processors — the first client system-on-chips (SoCs) built on Intel 18A — Galaxy6 delivers efficient, high-speed CPU, GPU and NPU¹ performance, enabling lightning-fast processing, seamless multitasking and more responsive AI.    

• The new Intel® Core^™ Ultra Series 3 processors² , built on Intel 18A —1.8-nanometer class node — deliver up to 16 new performance-cores (P-cores) and efficient-cores (E-cores), enabling 60% faster CPU performance³  than previous generation. And with an integrated NPU that delivers up to 50 TOPS, AI-driven tasks like image cleanup, instant translation and intelligent search happen instantly, without relying on the cloud.
• With the latest NVIDIA^® GeForce RTX^™ 5070/5060 Laptop GPU, Galaxy Book6 Ultra unlocks next-level creativity and entertainment experiences with high-speed AI image generation, super-smooth video playback and editing, and deeply immersive gaming.

To maximize performance, powerful hardware must be supported by an equally advanced thermal system. Samsung meticulously designed cooling architecture that delivers efficient and consistent operation, without the trade-off of excess noise. The newly optimized vapor chamber and airflow system enhance heat dissipation while maintaining quiet operation across Galaxy Book6 Ultra and Pro models, marking the first time the Pro series uses a vapor chamber.

• The vapor chamber is newly introduced in Galaxy Book6 Pro and redesigned with a larger surface area in Galaxy Book6 Ultra, distributing heat more evenly to keep the devices cool and ensuring responsiveness under heavy workloads.
• Galaxy Book6 Ultra and Pro have increased the size of their fins, thin metal components attached to the vapor chamber that increase surface area and allow air from the fan to carry heat away. By expanding the surface area, heat is transferred and released more effectively, improving cooling efficiency by 35%⁴ compared to the previous generation.
• In Galaxy Book6 Ultra, a newly added dual path outlet fan and heatsink absorb heat from the processor and other internal components and dissipate it, preventing overheating and performance slowdowns.   
• The re-engineered fan has an optimized angle that releases heat quickly and efficiently, a larger inlet grill that improves airflow by allowing more heat to be expelled through the fan, and Samsung’s proprietary uneven blade spacing technology, which minimizes fan noise.

Performance combines powerful capability with long-lasting battery life, so Samsung designed Galaxy Book6 to deliver the lasting power required for truly seamless, all-day operation. More efficient power management extends real-world usage, giving users extra time to stay productive and connected, wherever the day takes them.

• Engineered with Samsung’s longest-lasting Galaxy Book battery yet, Galaxy Book6 Ultra and Pro series deliver up to 30 hours⁵ of video playback, extending everyday usage by approximately five additional hours compared to the previous generation.

• Super-fast charging on Galaxy Book6 Ultra restores up to 63% of battery life in just 30 minutes, so users can plug in during a quick coffee break and power through hours of meetings, classes or creative work without slowing down.

The screen is what users engage with all day long, which is why Galaxy Book6 Ultra and Pro introduce a significantly upgraded display that delivers vivid, high-contrast visuals with exceptional clarity in any lighting, minimizing glare while maintaining rich detail and depth.

• With an HDR peak brightness of up to 1000 nits, the advanced Dynamic AMOLED 2X display⁶ with touch screen offers clear contrast and vivid color indoors or outdoors, while an SDR peak brightness of 500 nits ensures exceptional clarity for everyday tasks. Users can easily interact with the touch screen and can edit content directly on the screen
• Vision Booster⁷ intelligently adapts the display to outdoor environments by analyzing ambient lighting and on-screen content, enhancing visibility and color accuracy even in bright sunlight. Combined with advanced anti-reflective technology that minimizes glare, it ensures clearer, more comfortable viewing experiences wherever you are.  
• True Bright 1300⁸ certification ensures the display achieves perceived brightness levels that enhance clarity and vibrancy, while the True Black 0.0005 nits enables real black levels for immersive viewing — perfect for creative work, entertainment and productivity.
• An adaptive 30Hz to 120Hz refresh rate delivers smooth, fluid motion that’s ideal for animation, gaming and video streaming.
• Corning® Gorilla® Glass with DXC⁹ enhances durability with improved drop and scratch resistance, while reducing front-surface reflection by up to 75% compared to standard glass. This advanced glass composite ensures improved viewing clarity even in bright environments while maintaining the renowned resilience of Gorilla Glass for long-lasting performance.

A truly complete PC experience balances striking visuals with powerful, high-quality sound. To match their displays, Samsung equipped Galaxy Book6 Ultra and Pro with optimized speaker placement that delivers balanced sound, keeping voices clear during meetings and classes and bringing rich, immersive bass to movies and gaming.

• In Galaxy Book6 Ultra, six speakers with Dolby Atmos®, including four force-canceling woofers and two tweeters, deliver high octaves and powerful bass for crisp and clear room-filling sound that’s perfect for immersive movie watching, gaming and music playback.
• A balanced, back-to-back woofer design in Galaxy Book6 Ultra cancels vibration to reduce distortion, keeping sound clean and the laptop stable, even at higher volumes.
• Across both Galaxy Book6 Ultra and Galaxy Book6 Pro 16, up-firing tweeters enhances clarity and openness for calls and dialogue, while side-firing woofers produce deeper, more dynamic bass, adding impact to music and entertainment.

Samsung’s hardware heritage is reflected in a design in which performance is matched with purposeful craftsmanship, resulting in slim, premium PCs built for everyday versatility. Every element down to the smallest unseen detail has been thoughtfully engineered to achieve harmonious balance and effortless usability.

• Through reconfigured internal and external components — including a wider vapor chamber, thinner fan, redesigned display structure, refined bezels and a precision-engineered hinge — Galaxy Book6 Ultra and Galaxy Book6 Pro 16” achieve a noticeably slimmer profile that’s sleek, portable and easier to carry throughout the day. Galaxy Book6 Ultra measures just 15.4mm, delivering a 1.1mm reduction in thickness¹⁰ compared to Galaxy Book4 Ultra. Galaxy Book6 Pro 16” measures just 11.9mm, delivering a 0.6mm reduction in thickness compared to Galaxy Book5 Pro 16”.
• Perfect symmetry defines the Galaxy Book6 series design, creating a unified, premium look with clean, balanced lines complemented by Galaxy’s signature curved corners and classic centered logo.
• The centrally designed two-tone keyboard¹¹ and haptic touch trackpad create visual balance while enhancing comfort for hand placement and enabling precise fingertip control. This ensures smooth navigation and a consistent typing experience, enhancing usability and allowing users to type naturally and effortlessly while minimizing the occurrence of typos.
