Samsung is ripping everyone off with a massive markup on their upcoming laptop lineup. The corporation listed the Galaxy Book 6 series recently, and the pricing looks absolutely bonkers compared to the previous generation. While the Book 5 Pro dropped for roughly 2,808,000 Won, the direct successor demands 3,510,000 Won. That conversion equals a jump from 1904 USD to 2381 USD, meaning buyers pay nearly 477 bucks extra just for a processor swap.
Justification for this surcharge feels weak since the RAM sits at 32 GB LPDDR5X and storage stays at 1 TB. Sure, the CPU jumps from an 8-core Lunar Lake unit to a 16-core Panther Lake chip, aka Core Ultra Series 3, but that silicon upgrade rarely commands such a premium alone.
