Samsung's Galaxy Book6 Pro is a good multimedia laptop, but $2100 is too expensive
Samsung's new Galaxy Book6 Pro is a large 16-inch everyday laptop, which is equipped with Intel's latest Panther Lake processors. It also gets a new OLED panel, which is finally brighter than before. In our review, the new model managed got a good result, but processor choice is rather disappointing considering the high RRP of $2100.
Our SKU uses the Panther Lake processor Core Ultra 7 356H, which is only equipped with the slower iGPU model with 4 Xe cores, which is noticeably slower compared to the new Arc B390 iGPU. We are quite surprised that Samsung only offers a single SKU with the powerful iGPU, which is just hard to understand considering the high prices. In addition to the improved efficiency, the new faster iGPUs are one of the key aspects of the new Panther Lake generation, while the smallest iGPUs are even slower compared to the old Meteor lake iGPUs.
If you want the more expensive model, you will have to pay even more (~$2400), but it is not available yet. This means the new Galaxy Book6 Pro has a hard time in performance comparisons, because less expensive rivals like the Asus Zenbook S16 with the Ryzen 400 series CPU and the Radeon 880M offer more performance, especially when you also want to play some games.
All in all, the new Galaxy Book6 Pro offers a good overall package, but the price is just too high. Previous Galaxy Book models were often sold with big discounts, and this should be the case for the new models as well. Please see our review for more information on the new Galaxy Book6 Pro.
