Samsung has expanded its Galaxy Book 5 line with the new Edge 5G model, the first laptop in the series with mobile connectivity support. It runs on Windows 11 and is powered by a Snapdragon processor.
Samsung has announced the upcoming release of a new laptop called Galaxy Book5 Pro with support for Microsoft's Copilot+ and Galaxy AI feature packs. The model will be available in 14-inch and 16-inch display versions, and will be built on performance hardware from Intel.
While Qualcomm is about to release the Snapdragon X Elite, Intel's Meteor Lake successor is also almost at the launch. The first Intel Lunar Lake-powered laptops are expected near the end of the year, but the first samples appear to have already reached laptop manufacturers: a Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro with an Intel Core Ultra 200 series processor has just been spotted in SiSoftware's test database.
Dell has unveiled a new series of business-class laptops. The Pro 3, Pro 5, and Pro 7 models are available in several configurations with different displays and processors, as well as with Windows 11 and Ubuntu Linux operating systems.
Dell has unexpectedly taken the lead in laptop battery life. The new version of the XPS 16, powered by Intel Panther Lake chips, outperformed even the MacBook Pro in tests. The secret lies not in a high-capacity battery, but in screen manufacturing technology previously unused in laptops.
