Samsung seems almost ready to launch its 2026 laptop lineup, as new certifications have confirmed the upcoming Galaxy Book 6 Pro and Galaxy Book 6 Ultra. These listings strongly suggest that Samsung will officially unveil the laptops at CES 2026, which begins in early January in Las Vegas.
Samsung often uses CES to introduce its latest premium laptops, especially those powered by new Intel processors—and this year looks no different.
Certifications Hint That Launch Is Very Close
Both the Galaxy Book 6 Pro and Ultra have appeared on the Bluetooth SIG certification database, which is usually one of the final steps before a product is announced publicly.
While these documents don’t reveal design or display details, they do confirm that:
-
The laptops have passed wireless testing
-
Multiple regional versions are ready
With CES 2026 starting on January 6, this strongly indicates that the laptops are launch-ready.
New Intel “Panther Lake” Chips Spotted in Benchmarks
Earlier leaks have already given us a glimpse of what’s inside. A device believed to be the Galaxy Book 6 Pro recently appeared on Geekbench, running Intel’s new Core Ultra 5 338H processor.
This chip belongs to Intel’s next-generation Panther Lake family and is built using the advanced 18A manufacturing process, which promises better performance and efficiency.
Key leaked specs include:
-
12-core CPU designed for performance and efficiency
-
1.9GHz base clock speed
-
32GB RAM
-
Intel Arc B370 integrated graphics
This suggests a noticeable upgrade in both CPU and graphics performance, even in a thin and lightweight laptop design.
Strong Focus on AI Features
Samsung also seems to be pushing hard on AI-powered features with the Galaxy Book 6 series. Benchmark data shows strong results in AI-related tasks, which means Samsung is focusing on better Neural Processing Unit (NPU) performance.
This will help support:
-
Windows 11’s on-device AI tools
-
Faster local AI processing
-
Smarter everyday features without relying heavily on the cloud
More Variants Expected, Including 360 and ARM Models
Samsung is expected to launch more than just standard laptops. Based on past releases, we may also see:
-
Galaxy Book 6 360 models with touchscreen and S-Pen support
-
Snapdragon-powered versions running Windows on ARM, aimed at users who want longer battery life
This would give buyers more options based on performance, flexibility, and battery needs.
Why This Launch Is Important
The Galaxy Book 6 series will be one of the first major laptops to showcase Intel’s Panther Lake chips. This makes it an important test for Intel as it tries to compete with:
-
Apple’s M-series chips
-
AMD’s Ryzen processors
For Windows laptops, this launch is also crucial. Earlier “AI PCs” sounded exciting but didn’t always offer real-world benefits. With Windows 11 now more mature, Samsung’s new laptops will need to show that AI features are actually useful, not just marketing buzz.
What’s Next?
Now that certifications are public, Samsung is expected to start official teasers very soon. Full details—including pricing, availability, and configurations—are likely to be revealed during Samsung’s CES 2026 keynote in early January.
