Samsung’s beautiful new Galaxy Ebook 6 boasts 40 hours of battery life

Samsung launched the most recent Galaxy Ebook 6 sequence of notebooks on the heels of Intel’s Core Extremely Sequence 3 (“Panther Lake”) processor launch at CES 2026, boasting 40 hours of battery life and a “tuned” implementation of the processor.

Samsung’s Galaxy Ebook 6 will ship in three variations: the bottom mannequin, the Galaxy Ebook 6 Professional, and the Galaxy Ebook 6 Extremely.

The fundamental Ebook 6 has primary specs with 1200p 14-inch and 16-inch screens. The Ebook 6 Extremely, nonetheless, boasts 16-inch AMOLED screens with as much as 2880×1800 decision and creator-class RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 graphics beneath.

I had an opportunity to go hands-on with the Galaxy Ebook 6 Extremely, and the one disappointment I felt was studying that Samsung additionally has a model of the Ebook 6 Extremely with solely built-in graphics inside. Boo!

Samsung says that it has redesigned the thermal cooling system contained in the Professional and Extremely notebooks, including expanded fins that sit at an optimized angle for cooling the elements. Samsung’s cooling system extends to a “twin path” answer, which executives mentioned cools extra elements than earlier than. Voltage regulators, maybe?

All informed, this “tuned by Samsung design” gives 1.6x extra CPU efficiency and 1.7x extra GPU efficiency than its predecessor, Samsung executives mentioned.

The Galaxy Ebook 6 lineup additionally encompasses a redesigned audio system with six—fairly than 4—audio system: 4 woofers plus a pair of tweeters, upgrading the punch of the pocket book’s bass. I’ve at all times thought-about the multimedia expertise of a Galaxy Ebook to be certainly one of its strengths, and now that OLED screens have gotten ubiquitous throughout the laptop computer trade, Samsung has to step up in different methods.

That’s to not say that Samsung’s AMOLED 2X shows haven’t improved, although. Probably the most noteworthy enchancment appears to be its dynamic refresh fee, which drops all the way down to 30Hz fairly than 60Hz. That seemingly will occur when the pocket book is idling or while you’re working inside a doc, a principally static picture.

The dynamic refresh fee will reduce energy consumption, serving to obtain that 40 hours of battery life. (It’s measured utilizing video playback, which isn’t essentially the most dependable metric of battery life, however nonetheless.) And even when it runs out of juice, youcan recharge 63 p.c in half-hour. Wow!

The Ebook 6’s keyboard seems unchanged, although a haptic touchpad is now normal throughout the board. Although, not like among the competitors, you’ll be able to’t ink on it.

We nonetheless don’t know the pricing or a ship date, which will likely be launched later—thanks, unsure RAM costs. However Samsung isn’t holding again: a 2TB storage choice is on the market on the Extremely, as is 64GB(!) of RAM as properly. That’s a number of hundred bucks proper there in in the present day’s costs.

We’ll put the Ebook 6 by its paces once we can get our fingers on it.
