+ Stunning 120 Hz display

- No 14-inch option

- Numpad removed
The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra is a 16-inch flagship laptop positioned as a premium thin-and-light performance machine in Samsung’s Galaxy Book6 lineup. It pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (Panther Lake) with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, 32 GB LPDDR5x memory, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD. Reviewers highlight the high-quality design, bright and smooth 120 Hz display, and strong overall performance that can rival top competitors. Samsung device owners benefit from tight ecosystem features and integration. Updates like better cooling, improved audio, and upgraded haptics are also noted as meaningful refinements. The biggest recurring criticism is the steep €3599 price, alongside smaller complaints such as missing right-side USB-C, no 14-inch variant, and design choices like numpad removal.

Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra Review - Impressive multimedia laptop with gorgeous OLED & RTX 5070 | Notebookcheck
Samsung's new Galaxy Book6 Ultra is a powerful 16-inch multimedia laptop with an amazing OLED screen, Panther Lake processor and GeForce RTX 5070. There are also many similarities with the Apple MacBook Pro 16, but is it enough to beat Apple's machine?

Samsung Galaxy Book 6 Ultra Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Samsung Galaxy Book 6 Ultra is a fantastic pro-grade Windows laptop with immense battery life, a lovely OLED screen and a hefty industrial feel, complete with a snappy keyboard, huge trackpad and solid port selection. I am left a little underwhelmed by its performance, though, not least with the very hefty price tag that’s attached to this laptop. For similar money, you can get a very tricked-out Apple MacBook Pro that’s likely to have a faster processor (although it may skimp out on graphical power) or the Asus ProArt P16 (4K Lumina Pro OLED) that has more graphical grunt and a richer, more detailed tandem OLED panel, although at the expense of half the battery life.

Samsung's new laptops are as close to a MacBook running Windows as you can get

I've been a fan of Samsung's laptops for years, starting with a 12-inch model we owned in the early 2010's. The Galaxy Book 6 Pro is my favorite of the two models I've been swapping between, partly because Panther Lake is so good that I never once thought I needed the Nvidia dGPU in the Book 6 Ultra.

The Galaxy Book6 Ultra proves Samsung can make a MacBook killer - it's just a shame about the price
Source: Techradar
The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra is a gorgeously designed thin and light laptop with a stunning screen and some of the most powerful components you can buy right now. If you own other Samsung devices, you'll love how the Galaxy Book6 Ultra can interact with them. However, it's very expensive, and won't be the best laptop for everyone.

Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra review: a stonkingly brilliant powerhouse
Source: Stuff TV
The Galaxy Book6 Ultra is one incredible laptop. The starting price is high, but whereas others might start lower, they quickly get expensive when you add the type of options that the Ultra includes. The Pro variant also starts at a far more palatable price and if you find the Ultra is reaching heights you can’t reach then that really is the Book6 for you. I guess weight is also a consideration if you are travelling a lot. And of course there is no 14in variant. But if money is really no object and you don’t mind the weight of this 16 incher, then you won’t be disappointed in any way with what the Ultra can offer you. It’s one of the best do-anything laptops we’ve ever seen and it’ll set you in good stead for the future.

Galaxy Book 6 Pro and Galaxy Book 6 Ultra Hands-On: Oh, So Pro!
Source: Sam Mobile
The Galaxy Book 6 Pro and Ultra feel like solid refinements rather than flashy reinventions. The biggest wins for me are the improved audio, excellent haptics that finally rival premium competitors, the brighter display, and better cooling. The trade-offs are clear, too. There’s still no right-side USB-C, which remains mildly annoying, and the numpad removal will split opinions.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop: An upcoming graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which Team Green will most likely present at CES 2025. Considering that the 4070 laptop has 4,608 unified shaders (CUDA cores), the 5070 will most likely have well over 5,000 shaders.
These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Ultra 7 356H: High-end 16-core SoC of the Panther Lake family and top model with 4 Xe3 GPU cores. As with Lunar Lake, the built-in NPU 5 offers 50 TOPS and now offers support for FP8.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
