Samsung launches Book 6 Edge with Snapdragon X2 Elite

Published 16 June 2026

Samsung has launched the Galaxy Book 6 Edge, a premium laptop powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X2 Elite processor and positioned as a flagship device for AI-driven computing. The machine is available now in the United States through Samsung's website with a starting price of $2,099.99.

The laptop is built around the Snapdragon X2 Elite, which features an 18-core CPU and a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of 80 trillion operations per second for on-device artificial intelligence tasks. This performance is approximately double that of many first-generation Copilot+ PCs. Samsung emphasizes that this enables more advanced AI workloads, such as content generation, language processing, and productivity assistance, to run locally rather than relying on cloud services.

The Galaxy Book 6 Edge features a 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen display with a 2880 x 1800 resolution, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and an anti-reflective coating. It is housed in a slim chassis measuring 12.3 to 13.2 millimeters thick and weighing 1.55 kilograms (3.42 pounds). Samsung claims the device can deliver up to 22 hours of battery life on a single charge, supported by 65-watt fast charging.
