Samsung US sold five Galaxy Book laptops on 28 October 2026: the Book6, Book6 Pro, Book6 Ultra and Book6 Edge, plus the older Book4 Edge 15.6-inch. The Pro, Ultra and Edge have 3K AMOLED touchscreens; the Book6 and Book4 Edge have IPS screens. The Edge models run Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, the rest Intel, and the Ultra is the one Samsung lists with Nvidia graphics.
Samsung’s US Galaxy Book listing printed 12 cards that day. Eight had a Buy button and four, including both 2-in-1s, showed Notify me instead. Specs below are from Samsung’s own Compare Galaxy Books page; prices are list prices from the configuration selector on each model’s Samsung US buy page.
The five you could order
| Model | What Samsung calls it | Screen | Chip | Touch | Weight (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Book6 Ultra (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) | “Our most powerful Galaxy PC” | 16in 3K Dynamic AMOLED 2X | Intel Core Ultra 7 356H, Ultra X7 358H or Ultra 9 386H | Yes | 3.95 (“INT”), 4.17 (“EXT”) |
| Galaxy Book6 Pro | “Pro power and portability” | 14in or 16in 3K Dynamic AMOLED 2X | Intel Core Ultra 7 356H or Ultra X7 358H | Yes | 2.73 (14in), 3.51 (16in) |
| Galaxy Book6 Edge | “AI-powered performance” | 16in 3K Dynamic AMOLED 2X | Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite | Yes | 3.42 |
| Galaxy Book6 | “The Galaxy PC for all” | 14in or 16in IPS anti-glare; 16in Touch version | Intel Core Ultra 7 355 or Ultra 5 325; Core 5 315 (14in, 8 GB) | Touch version only | 2.98 to 4.06 |
| Galaxy Book4 Edge 15.6in (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) | “Unlock productivity at a value you’ll love” | 15.6in IPS FHD anti-glare | Qualcomm Snapdragon X or X Plus | No | 3.31 |
The Ultra’s two weights are Samsung’s, labelled “EXT” and “INT”; its compare column lists Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 or 5070, or Intel Arc graphics. The Book6 row covers three of Samsung’s compare columns: the plain Book6, a 16-inch Book6 Touch (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) at 4.06 lb, and a 14-inch “Book6 (Intel Core)” with an Intel Core 5 315 and 8 GB of memory at 2.98 lb.
List prices on 28 October
| Model | Lowest list price in the selector | Configuration | Other list prices printed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Book6 Ultra | $2,899.99 | Core Ultra X7 358H, Arc B390, 32 GB, 1 TB | $3,599.99 (Ultra 7 356H), $3,999.99 (Ultra 9 386H), $5,299.99 (64 GB) |
| Book6 Pro | $2,199.99 | 16 GB option | $2,449.99 (14in), $2,549.99 (16in, Ultra 7 356H, 32 GB, 1 TB), $2,649.99 (Ultra X7 358H) |
| Book6 Edge | $2,099.99 | Snapdragon X2 Elite, 16 GB, 1 TB | One configuration |
| Book6 | $799.99 | 14in, Core 5 315, 8 GB, 256 GB | $1,349.99 (14in or 16in, Core Ultra), $1,449.99 (16in Touch, 512 GB), $1,749.99 (1 TB) |
| Book4 Edge 15.6in | $674.99 | 8 GB, 256 GB | $849.99 (16 GB, 256 GB), $999.99 (16 GB, 512 GB) |
Several configurations were on sale below list that day, by as much as $600 on the Book6 Pro and $450 on the 16-inch Book6 Touch, and the Pro’s sale price changed while we read it. The Book6 Edge and Book4 Edge showed no sale. Samsung prices each selector option against the configuration on screen, so a “from” price here belongs to one configuration, not the whole line.
What separates them beyond the screen
| Model | Ports | Card slot | Wi-Fi | Battery (Wh) | Samsung’s battery life (hours) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Book6 Ultra (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) | HDMI 2.1, 2 × Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2, headphone | SD | Wi-Fi 7 | 80.2 | 30 |
| Book6 Pro | HDMI 2.1, 2 × Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2, headphone | None | Wi-Fi 7 | 67.18 (14in), 78.07 (16in) | 30 |
| Book6 Edge | HDMI 2.1, 2 × USB4, USB 3.2, headphone | microSD | Wi-Fi 7 | 61.8 | 22 |
| Book6 (Core Ultra) | HDMI 1.4b, 2 × USB-C, 2 × USB 3.2, Ethernet, headphone | microSD | Wi-Fi 6E | 61.2 | 24 |
| Book6 (Core 5, 14in) | HDMI 1.4b, 2 × USB-C, USB 3.2, headphone | None | Wi-Fi 6E | 61.2 | 25 |
| Book4 Edge 15.6in (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) | HDMI 2.1, 2 × USB4, USB 3.2, headphone | microSD | Wi-Fi 7 | 61.2 | 28 |
Within the Book6 family the split follows the screen. The three AMOLED models get HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 and Wi-Fi 7; the IPS Book6 gets HDMI 1.4b, plain USB-C and Wi-Fi 6E, but the Core Ultra Book6 is the one of the five on sale with an Ethernet port. Samsung’s battery-life figures come from its own test: local 1080p video at 150 nits, with Wi-Fi off.
Samsung’s US listing labels the Ultra, Pro, Edge, the 16-inch Book6 and the Book4 Edge “a Copilot+ PC”; the 14-inch Book6 with 8 GB of memory carries no such label. Microsoft sets a 16 GB memory floor and a 40 TOPS NPU for that badge, and what an NPU does and whether 40 TOPS matters sets out which Windows features depend on it.
The ones you could not order
| Model | What it is, per Samsung | Card price | Button on 28 October |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 | 16in 2-in-1, pen included | $1,999.99 | Notify me |
| Galaxy Book5 360 | 15.6in 2-in-1, pen supported | $1,549.99 | Notify me |
| Galaxy Book5 | 15.6in IPS, Intel Core Ultra 7 255U | $1,199.99 | Notify me |
| Galaxy Book4 Ultra | 16in | $2,399.99 | Notify me |
Samsung’s compare page lists pen support only for the Book5 Pro 360 and Book5 360, and “Not supported” for every Book6. On 28 October, Samsung US had no 2-in-1 Galaxy Book with a Buy button. Samsung’s pen-equipped Galaxy Tabs are a separate line; Samsung’s tablet names are set out the same way, as are Lenovo’s laptop lines and LG’s gram lines. Outlets’ verdicts on laptops in general are gathered in our laptop shortlist.
Questions people ask
What is the difference between Galaxy Book6 Pro and Ultra?
Both have 3K AMOLED touchscreens and Intel Core Ultra chips. The Ultra comes in 16-inch only, has a full SD card slot and six speakers, and is the one Galaxy Book Samsung lists with Nvidia RTX 5060 or 5070 graphics. The Pro comes in 14 or 16 inches, has no card slot, and the 14-inch weighs 2.73 lb.
What is the difference between Galaxy Book6 and Book6 Pro?
On Samsung’s compare page, the Book6 Pro has a 3K Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen, Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 7. The Core Ultra Book6 has an IPS anti-glare screen (a 16-inch Touch version exists), HDMI 1.4b, USB-C rather than Thunderbolt, Wi-Fi 6E and an Ethernet port the Pro lacks.
What is the Galaxy Book6 Edge?
The Book6 Edge is Samsung’s 16-inch Galaxy Book with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite chip instead of Intel, a 3K AMOLED touchscreen, USB4 ports and a microSD slot. Samsung US sold it in one configuration, 16 GB of memory and 1 TB of storage, on 28 October 2026.
Is there a Galaxy Book6 360 2-in-1?
Not on Samsung US’s listing on 28 October 2026. Its only 2-in-1s were the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 and Book5 360, and both showed Notify me rather than Buy. Samsung’s compare page lists pen support for those two and “Not supported” for every Book6.
Which Galaxy Books are Copilot+ PCs?
Samsung’s US listing names the Book6 Ultra, Book6 Pro, Book6 Edge, the 16-inch Book6 and the Book4 Edge “a Copilot+ PC”. The 14-inch Book6 with an Intel Core 5 and 8 GB of memory carries no such label.
How long does a Galaxy Book battery last?
Samsung quotes up to 30 hours for the Book6 Ultra and Pro, 24 to 25 hours for the Book6, 22 hours for the Book6 Edge and 28 hours for the 15.6-inch Book4 Edge. These are Samsung’s own 1080p video-playback figures at 150 nits with Wi-Fi off, not a test of ours.
How we researched this
No one at bitcritiq has handled this product. Everything here comes from published sources, listed below.
- What this cannot tell you
- A Buy or Notify me button is what Samsung’s site showed on 28 October, not a check of stock. Samsung’s selectors price each option relative to the configuration on screen, so a “from” price is the lowest list price a selector printed, and we could not tie every price to one full configuration: the Book6 Pro’s 16 GB option, for example, did not show its screen size. The model switcher on the Book6 Pro page printed a Book6 price we could not match to any Book6 configuration, so we left it out. Sale prices moved during the session (the Book6 Pro showed two different sale prices within minutes) and change daily. Samsung’s battery-life figures come from its own video-playback test at 150 nits, not ours. We have not used any of these laptops, and this page does not rank them.
How we chose this, and what we did
- Why this subject
- Search Console shows our best-laptops shortlist collecting impressions for “best laptops 2025”, “what is the best laptop” and “best new laptops”, and Samsung US sells its Windows laptops under Galaxy Book names that differ by one word (Book6, Book6 Pro, Book6 Ultra, Book6 Edge) alongside older Book5 and Book4 models. No bitcritiq post sets out which Galaxy Book is which; which-galaxy-tab-model covers Samsung’s tablets only.
- How we looked at it
- Read on 28 October 2026 in the research browser. Samsung US’s Galaxy Book listing (samsung.com/us/computers/galaxy-book/, All tab) printed “12 Results”; we read all 12 cards by hand: 8 carried a Buy button (three Galaxy Book6 cards, two Book6 Ultra, one Book6 Pro, one Book6 Edge, one Book4 Edge 15.6-inch) and 4 a Notify me button (Book5 Pro 360, Book5 360, Book5, Book4 Ultra). That gives the five names in the main tables and the four in the last table. Specs (screen, chip, graphics, ports, card slot, Wi-Fi, battery capacity, Samsung’s battery-life figure, weight, touch and pen) are from Samsung US’s Compare Galaxy Books page, which has 12 columns. List prices are the “was” prices (or the single price where no sale applied) printed in each model’s configuration selector on its Samsung US buy page; where a card printed “Save Price” above a lower price we took the higher one as list. The 2-in-1 claim was checked against the listing’s own Galaxy Book 360 filter and the compare page’s pen row, which reads “Included” and “Supported” only for the Book5 Pro 360 and Book5 360 (control: the same row reads “Not supported” for every Book6 column).
What this rests on
6 claims, all official. Nothing here was measured by bitcritiq — see how we test for why. Open a claim to read the source it came from.
