Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 16
Samsung's 16-inch Galaxy Book5 Pro uses the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (Lunar Lake) with 16GB of LPDDR5X, a 1TB SSD and a 2880x1800 120Hz AMOLED touchscreen in a 1.56kg, 12.5mm body with a 76.1Wh battery. The US launch price started at $1,449.99 for 16GB/512GB (1TB: $1,649.99); 32GB versions use the Core Ultra 7 258V. The 14-inch model is listed separately.
Pros
- Vivid 16-inch 2880x1800 AMOLED touchscreen with variable refresh up to 120Hz; about 381 nits in SDR in review testing (Samsung rates it at 400 nits typical and 500 nits in HDR)
- Light for a 16-inch laptop at 1.56kg and 12.5mm thick, with a sturdy aluminum chassis that showed no noticeable flex in review testing
- 12 hours 25 minutes in a continuous web-surfing battery test at 150 nits in review testing, enough for a full workday
- Full port selection: two Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, USB-A, microSD and a headphone jack, plus Wi-Fi 7
- Solid single-core speed, with a Geekbench 6 single-core score of 2760, and Arc 140V graphics managed 61 fps in Civilization VI at 1080p in review testing
Cons
- Eight-core Lunar Lake gives modest multi-core performance, with a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 11115 in review testing
- The 76.1Wh battery is smaller than the roughly 100Wh packs in some 16-inch rivals, and web-surfing runtime in review testing was about half of Samsung's up-to-25-hour video-playback rating
- No face unlock: there is no IR camera for Windows Hello, only a fingerprint reader on the power button, and the webcam was criticized in review testing
- Shallow keyboard travel that slowed typing speed in review testing
