The story
Samsung Electronics today announced a new 14-inch Galaxy Book6, expanding the Galaxy Book6 lineup with a more accessible model designed for everyday computing. Starting at $799, Galaxy Book6 combines up to 25 hours of battery life, Intel® Core 3 and Core 5 performance, Galaxy AI-enabled features, and the design language of the Galaxy Book6 family.
“With the new Galaxy Book6, we wanted to make the Galaxy Book experience available for more people,” said Mincheol Lee, EVP, Head of Galaxy Ecosystems Business Team at Samsung Electronics. “At a more accessible price, it brings together the everyday essentials users value, including dependable performance, long-lasting battery life, connected Galaxy experiences, and Galaxy Book6’s design DNA, giving users confidence that lasts beyond the purchase.”
Performance and Battery for Everyday Use
The new Galaxy Book6 is designed around the tasks people rely on every day, from browsing the web and creating documents to video calls, multitasking, and streaming content. With up to 25 hours of battery life 1 on a single charge, users can work, study, and enjoy content for longer throughout the day. When it is time to power up, 45W fast charging provides approximately 33% charge in 30 minutes.
That long-lasting power is paired with Intel® Core Series 3 processor performance, bringing Intel’s latest architecture and power efficiency to essential PC experiences. The processor also supports Galaxy AI 2 and other AI features designed to help users work, create, and get things done more easily.
Built With Galaxy Book6 Design DNA
The latest addition to the Galaxy Book6 lineup carries forward the design language of the series, defined by clean, balanced lines and a symmetrical design. A centered logo further reinforces a unified Galaxy Book6 identity.
At 15.7mm thin and 1.35kg, Galaxy Book6 combines a slim profile with portability that makes it easy to carry throughout the day, from home and school to work and travel. For the first time on Galaxy Book, Violet Silver brings a fresh expression to the lineup, adding a distinctive touch to the clean, understated Galaxy Book6 design. A classic Gray option is also available.
The 16:10 display provides more vertical viewing space for documents, web pages, and multitasking, while anti-reflective technology minimizes glare for clearer, more comfortable viewing wherever you are. Galaxy Book6 also keeps commonly used connections close at hand.
Its two USB Type-C 3 ports offer the same functionality, so users can connect with less guesswork, while USB Type-A, 4 HDMI 1.4, 5 and a 3.5mm headphone jack, give users a versatile range of connectivity for displays, peripherals, and accessories without relying on additional dongles.
Samsung was expected to unveil the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra this month, but rumors now suggest it will make these tablets official next month - October 7, to be precise.

Galaxy Experiences That Work Better Together
The Galaxy Book6 brings together Galaxy AI and connected experiences across Galaxy devices to make it easier to find information, move content and work across screens.
AI Select 6 lets users select content directly on the screen and instantly access helpful information and insights while browsing, shopping, or viewing content online. It also includes AI cut out, which lets users instantly remove image backgrounds to prepare polished visuals for presentations, e-commerce listings, or marketing materials. Note Assist 7 summarizes notes and surfaces key information so users can review important details faster.
Content also moves more easily across Galaxy devices. Quick Share enables fast file sharing between compatible devices, while Storage Share lets users access photos, videos, and files across compatible Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Book without transferring them first — making it easier to bring content from a phone directly into a document, presentation, or creative project.
Galaxy Book6 also helps users work naturally across screens. Multi Control 8 allows a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple supported Galaxy devices, while Second Screen 9 turns a Galaxy Tab into an additional display. Nearby Devices 10 simplifies device discovery and connection, and Link to Windows 11 extends supported Galaxy smartphone experiences to the PC.
Together, Galaxy AI and connected Galaxy experiences reduce the steps between devices, helping users stay focused as information, content, and work move more seamlessly across the Galaxy ecosystem.
Confidence That Lasts Beyond the Purchase
Galaxy Book6 is backed by Samsung’s commitment to long-term reliability, with quality, durability, and support designed to give users confidence over time. Every Galaxy Book6 undergoes rigorous durability and quality testing to meet Samsung’s highest standards. For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+ 12 offers comprehensive coverage for accidental damage, repairs, and replacements, helping users feel more confident throughout the life of their PC.
