Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra: a refined Windows laptop with Panther Lake power
After a month of testing, the Galaxy Book6 Ultra feels like a deliberate refinement of last year’s Book5 Pro. Samsung kept the standout 16-inch AMOLED 3K touchscreen—1,000 nits peak HDR, adaptive 120Hz and Corning Gorilla Glass DXC—while enlarging the chassis only slightly and reworking the PCB so the laptop passes the one-finger lift test.
Audio and build tweaks are more noticeable. A six-speaker array with four force-canceling woofers and two tweeters produces clear, room-filling sound with good control over distortion, though bass is restrained. The laptop measures 14.05 x 9.76 x 0.6 inches, weighs just under four pounds, and keeps a sleek profile, but small design irritations remain: the wrist rest edges feel a bit sharp and the keyboard, while improved, still has shallow key travel.
Under the hood my review unit used an Intel Core Ultra 7 356H, 32GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070.
