Samsung Announces New Galaxy Book6 Series Laptops at CES 2026
January 6, 2026
Samsung has unveiled its latest lineup of Galaxy Book6 laptops at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, promising what it claims are the most advanced devices in the Galaxy Book series yet. The new range includes the Galaxy Book6 Ultra, Galaxy Book6 Pro (14-inch and 16-inch), and the standard Galaxy Book6 (14-inch and 16-inch).
A Significant Leap Forward for Samsung Laptops
Historically, Samsung's laptops were seen as functional but lacked excitement. However, this perception is now changing thanks to the sleek design, high-performance specs, and innovative features showcased at CES 2026. The new Galaxy Book6 series aims to elevate Samsung’s standing in the premium laptop market, competing more directly with the likes of Apple.
Powered by Cutting-Edge Intel Processors
All models are powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra Series 3 processors, freshly announced at CES. These chips feature integrated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) capable of up to 50 TOPS, enabling rapid on-device AI tasks. This aligns with Samsung’s emphasis on AI features that enhance user experience, from smarter apps to more responsive workflows.
"Thanks to Intel’s new chips with AI capabilities, these laptops should deliver impressive performance and battery efficiency."
Focus on AI and Ecosystem Integration
Samsung remains a top proponent of AI technology, and these laptops put Galaxy AI features front and center. If you own other Samsung devices like Galaxy smartphones, the Galaxy Book6 series will include seamless ecosystem integrations, similar to Apple’s ecosystem but tailored for Android and Windows 11.
Design and Display Highlights
The Galaxy Book6 lineup is distinguished by stylish looks and stunning screens, further elevating Samsung’s reputation for design:
- Galaxy Book6 Ultra (16-inch): Features a 16.0-inch AMOLED touchscreen, WQXGA+ resolution (2,880 x 1,800), and a 1000-nit brightness.
- Galaxy Book6 Pro (14-inch and 16-inch): Both models include touch AMOLED displays with similar high-quality specs.
- Standard Galaxy Book6 (14-inch and 16-inch): Equipped with IPS anti-glare displays (WUXGA, 1920 x 1200), suitable for those who prefer traditional screens.
