Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra

The supreme quality of this laptop is reflected in its price, but if you want it all you have to pay the premium

Samsung announced a trio of Galaxy Book6 laptops at CES in January: the base-level Book6, the Book6 Pro and the Book6 Ultra. Both its siblings are available in 14in and 16in models, but the Book6 Ultra comes in a 16in size alone. It weighs a hefty 1.8kg, but Samsung has done a great job of keeping this laptop thin, being slimmer than the 14in MacBook Pro (see issue 376, p52) at 15.4mm and with only a slightly larger footprint of 357 x 248mm.

Despite the thin design, Samsung crams in two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB-A port, HDMI 2.1, a 3.5mm combo jack and an SD card reader, so a bigger selection than the Dell XPS 14 (see p56). With WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 in tow, this is a well-connected laptop.
