Samsung’s Galaxy Book6 Edge, revealed through a Cyberport listing, is the company’s first ARM‑powered laptop. The 16‑inch model packs 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 512 GB SSD, priced at €2,200. Under the hood, it runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite X2E‑88‑100, an 18‑core CPU with 12 prime and 6 performance cores, plus a 1.7 GHz XE‑90 GPU.

Display fans will note the 16‑inch OLED panel offers 2,880×1,800 pixels at 120 Hz, non‑touch, with 500‑nit peak brightness and an anti‑glare coating. The chassis measures 12.3 mm thick and weighs 1.55 kg, while a 61.8‑Wh battery promises up to 22 hours of standby on a single charge.

Connectivity sticks to a sensible mix: one HDMI 2.1, two USB 4.0, a USB‑A 3.2, headphone jack, microSD slot, and a 1080p webcam. Wireless stacks Wi‑Fi 7 tri‑band and Bluetooth 5.4, while a fingerprint reader embeds security. The build keeps the price high but offers a feature set rare in ARM notebooks.

Samsung’s move signals a push into the high‑end ARM laptop market, traditionally dominated by Intel. With the X2 Elite delivering 80 TOPS AI acceleration, the Edge could appeal to creators needing quick inference on the go. Competitors will likely respond, tightening the race between x86 and ARM notebooks.
