The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra is now available to pre-order in the UK, and it’s easily one of the most powerful Windows laptops Samsung has released to date.
Aimed squarely at creators and high-end users, this configuration combines Intel’s latest Core Ultra 7 (Series 3) processor with Nvidia’s new mobile RTX 5060 GPU. For buyers running ageing RTX 30-series machines, this is a notable generational jump.
What Happened
• Samsung has opened UK pre-orders for the Galaxy Book6 Ultra from 25 February 2026.
• It’s powered by Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 3) with integrated AI NPU acceleration.
• Graphics come via Nvidia’s mobile RTX 5060.
• The laptop features a 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate.
The focus here is clear: high-performance computing in a chassis that remains slim and under 2kg.
UK Pricing and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra is priced at £2,999 in the UK for the flagship configuration.
That gets you:
- Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 3)
- Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU
- 32GB LPDDR5X memory
- 1TB NVMe SSD storage
Pre-orders are live via Samsung’s official UK store, with general availability beginning 11 March 2026.
Wider retail stock is expected shortly after launch at major UK retailers including Currys and Amazon UK. As with previous Galaxy Book launches, we also expect John Lewis to carry stock once full retail distribution begins.
At this price point, buyers will likely be weighing outright purchase against business expense claims or financing options.
Why It Matters for UK Buyers
For UK-based video editors, designers and 3D artists, portable power remains a pain point. Desktop-class performance usually means bulky machines with poor battery life.
The inclusion of RTX 5060 graphics changes that equation. Hardware-accelerated rendering in Premiere Pro or Blender should see significant gains over RTX 4050-equipped laptops, while the efficiency improvements of Intel’s Series 3 architecture aim to preserve battery life during everyday tasks.
If you commute regularly or split time between office and home, this machine is designed to remove the need for a secondary desktop.
It also positions Samsung more aggressively against premium Windows rivals and even higher-tier MacBook Pro configurations in terms of raw GPU capability.
Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra vs Galaxy Book5 Ultra
| Model | UK Price | Key Difference | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Book6 Ultra | £2,999 | RTX 5060 + Core Ultra 7 (Series 3) | 3D artists, heavy video editors, gamers |
| Galaxy Book5 Ultra | Discounted (varies) | RTX 4050 + 1st Gen Core Ultra | Creators wanting OLED on a tighter budget |
If you’re upgrading from the Book5 Ultra, the GPU and AI-focused processor bump are the headline reasons to move. If you’re buying fresh, the decision comes down to whether your workload genuinely needs RTX 5060-level headroom.
Beyond raw performance, Samsung is also leaning heavily into ecosystem integration. If you already use a Galaxy phone or Galaxy Tab, features like multi-control, Quick Share and seamless file syncing make this feel more like part of a wider productivity setup rather than just a standalone laptop. That matters for UK professionals working across devices daily. It’s not just about benchmark numbers — it’s about reducing friction between meetings, edits and mobile workflows.
Practical Takeaway
At £2,999, this is not an impulse purchase. But if your workflow leans heavily on GPU acceleration, the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra justifies its premium positioning. Casual users, however, may find better value in discounted 2025 models.
