Verdict - Galaxy Book5 Pro 14 benefits from Lunar Lake
The Galaxy Book5 Pro 14 benefits from the more efficient Lunar Lake processor, which enables longer battery runtimes in addition to increased single-core and GPU performance. However, despite the high price, our test device only offers 16 GB of RAM, which cannot be expanded. The OLED screen still provides very good picture quality, but is slowly losing ground to the competition, especially in terms of brightness.
Compared to the MacBook Air 13 M4, the Galaxy Book5 Pro has to admit defeat in terms of performance and battery life, and the Air still has the advantage of silent cooling. When it comes to the display, however, Samsung is ahead with its OLED panel (better picture quality, higher 120 Hz refresh rate).
All in all, the new Galaxy Book5 Pro 14 is a slim and good, but also expensive ultrabook.
Pros
+ extremely thin metal case
+ sufficient connections incl. Thunderbolt 4 & HDMI 2.1
+ excellent picture quality with 120 Hz
+ fast response times
+ two SSD slots
+ Wi-Fi 7
+ improved battery life
Cons
- soldered RAM
- constant PWM flickering
- hicky card reader

Case & equipment
Nothing has changed on the outside of the Galaxy Book5 Pro 14 compared to the old model. At 11.6 mm, it remains very thin, and the metal case appears to be of very high quality overall. The flawless workmanship and stability also match this. The RAM is part of the processor and cannot be replaced; however, there are two full-blown M.2 2280 slots for SSDs. The Wi-Fi module now supports Wi-Fi 7, and there are plenty of ports, including Thunderbolt 4. The microSD card reader remains quite awkward to use.

Input devices - Precise, but short stroke
Nothing has changed with the input devices either. The black keyboard is backlit and offers very precise feedback; however, you should try it out before buying due to its short travel distance. The ClickPad is easy to use, but the clicking noises are excessively loud. The touchscreen is also available for input.
Display - AMOLED with 120 Hz
Samsung still uses a familiar AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The picture quality remains very good, with high contrast and rich colors, but there are now competitors that offer significantly more brightness. We measured 400 cd/m² in SDR mode and a maximum of 534 cd/m² in HDR mode. The response times are extremely fast, but there is PWM flickering at 240 Hz at all brightness levels. The strong reflections are also problematic.
Samsung provides color profiles for P3 and sRGB, and our analysis with the professional CalMAN software shows a good display ex-works, which we were able to improve slightly with our own calibration. The corresponding profile can be downloaded for free in the box on the right.

Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.| ↔ Response Time Black to White | ||
|---|---|---|
| 0.69 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 0.38 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 0.31 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 1 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.3 ms). | ||
| ↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey | ||

| The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 2 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (31.8 ms). | ||
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 240 Hz Amplitude: 66 % | ≤ 100 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 240 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 240 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8211 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Performance - Lunar Lake
Test conditions
We ran the benchmarks in the default Optimized mode.
Processor
Our test device features the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V (Lunar Lake) on board, which has significantly lower short-term power consumption compared to the older Meteor Lake chip. While the old model consumed up to 60 watts, it is now a maximum of 30 watts. This naturally affects the multi-core performance, but the single-core performance is better. The performance also remains stable in battery mode.

Emissions & Energy
Noise emissions
In everyday use, the Galaxy Book5 Pro is a very quiet companion, as you can barely hear the two fans. The noise only becomes audible during gaming or stress tests, but it is not annoying. If you want to be on the safe side, use silent mode; then you will hear minimal noise even under load. There were no other electronic noises.

Battery life
The battery life was one of the weak points of the old model, but the more efficient Lunar Lake processor helps here. In the WLAN test at 150 cd/m² (66%), it is now 10 hours and 8:18 hours at full brightness. However, many competitors still offer more endurance.

As an independent media company, Notebookcheck is not subjected to the authority of manufacturers, retailers or publishers.
This is how Notebookcheck is testing
Every year, Notebookcheck independently reviews hundreds of laptops and smartphones using standardized procedures to ensure that all results are comparable. We have continuously developed our test methods for around 20 years and set industry standards in the process. In our test labs, high-quality measuring equipment is utilized by experienced technicians and editors. These tests involve a multi-stage validation process. Our complex rating system is based on hundreds of well-founded measurements and benchmarks, which maintains objectivity. Further information on our test methods can be found here.

I grew up with modern consumer electronics and my first computer was a Commodore C64, which encouraged my interest in building my own systems. I started working as a review editor for Notebookcheck during my dual studies at Siemens. Currently, I am mainly responsible for dealing with business laptops and mobile workstations. It’s a great experience to be able to review the latest devices and technologies and then compare them with each other.
My main responsibility as an editorial assistant is maintaining the Library section, which aggregates reviews from other publications and channels. In addition, my daily breakfast is Notebookcheck's long list of new content, which I comb through to select the most interesting topics for translation from English to French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch."
