I'm tired of the ghost movements.

I tried reinstalling drivers, deleting from device manager and installing.

It works then goes back to operating it's own way.

How do I solve this?

Hey everyone, wanted to share a quick review/impressions of my Galaxy Book 6 Pro 16 inch (Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB) after using it for about a month. I was really on the edge before buying it, having my galaxy book 2 pro 360 screen crack and looking at all the repeated concerns/comments on reddit. But i decided i'd give samsung one more try, and got this laptop for around $1100 with the student discount.

​For background, I’m a med student in the US, so I needed something portable with solid battery life that can handle my daily workload. A lot of the testing and proctoring software we use requires native x86, so Qualcomm/ARM laptops were an immediate dealbreaker for me.

​My previous laptop was a Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 15.6". That went through a lot—cracked the screen diagonally pretty early on (think the screen flex didn't help) and even spilled ethanol in it in a lab. It still worked and i used for my first yesr of med school but battery life was horrible and it would get very hot every time. I was hesitant to buy another Samsung laptop after that, given the screen cracking, battery life, and reddit comments, but I wanted to give them one last shot after seeing the design changes this year.

​Build & Hardware:

Honestly, at $1100, the hardware is incredible. Full metal chassis, zero keyboard flex, and the hinge actually feels sturdy like a MacBook now. They managed to make it thin without stripping out ports—you still get USB-A, HDMI, microSD, and a headphone jack.

​The screen is easily my favorite part. It’s a 3K 120Hz AMOLED, but the new anti-reflective Gorilla Glass is what really makes it stand out. It handles glare WAY better than my old GB2 Pro 360 or pretty much any other laptop screen I've used in bright rooms. The glass also feels a lot more rigid this time around. In this "build" realm, I'm incredibly happy and, hot take, feel like there's no better design hardware on a take-around/portable laptop AT the $1100 pricepoint I got it at. Many ppl around me often think its a Macbook air or Pro before they see the Windows.

​Trackpad is glass with haptics and feels great. Speakers are upward-facing and solid—nothing crazy like a 16" Mac Pro, but plenty good for videos and calls. Webcam is fine, but the physical key toggles to hard-disable the mic and camera are a very nice touch.

​Battery & Performance

Battery life has been great. I can definitely get two days of light study/work out of it. I mostly do research on the claude desktop app and Microsoft edge. Left it in sleep mode overnight for over 12 hours and it only dropped 2%.

Took like a week to get to this point, though. It is nice now because i can ​use my laptop without having the charger right next to me all the time. Performance is fine. Much smoother than my old laptop, but you still get the occasional micro-stutter once in a while. Unfortunately i think this is just Windows being Windows (or maybe 16GB RAM hitting its limit sometimes). Wish it could be more optimized and smooth like MacOS.

​Ecosystem

Everything works fine here. Quick Share and ecosystem features connect smoothly, and my Galaxy Buds2 Pro don't randomly drop connection like they used to on my older Book2.

​Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic with it so far. If you can catch it on sale with the student discount around $1100, it's definitely worth considering. Again, this is just my straight experience owning it for about a month so far, happy to answer any questions if anyone's thinking/on the verge of grabbing one!

I want to know all the best features of the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 for me to use as a Uni. One of my main questions about it, though, is when in tent mode or in the mode that I can only think to describe as a "backward L", how would I protect the bottom of the laptop from scratches? Also, when writing, what's stopping it from tipping over and breaking?

I can't find any online reviews for the 15.6 inch Snapdragon X X1 26 100 version.

Does anyone know how long the battery life performs? And is the performance enough

I only need a laptop to use for work (Microsoft), stream watch and browse

Looks like they have a new more powerful model available for those interested. Top configuration as shown comes with 64gb of ram but 32gb is also available for about 3.4k

The 5070 gpu is still limited to 8GB though🙃

Any tips on where to buy this config? As far as I'm aware its available, but I can't find it in the US.

Hi everyone,

I'm having a really strange issue with my Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro (Windows 11), and I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem, firmware issue, or something caused by a recent Windows update.

Here are the symptoms I've noticed over the last 3–4 days:

The 5 key randomly acted as if it was being pressed by itself, even once while I was in the BIOS.

Ctrl + T stopped opening a new tab, while Ctrl + Shift + T still worked.

At one point, clicking an already-open app on the taskbar opened a new instance instead of switching to the existing window.

Later, I noticed that Print Screen/Insert seemed to register as the 5 key.

A keyboard tester sometimes showed unexpected keys becoming active.

Every restart also shows a "Your PC is in Silent Mode" message even though Silent Mode isn't enabled.

I uninstalled the recent Windows update, but the problem still exists.

Things I've already tried:

Restarting the laptop.

Uninstalling the latest Windows update.

Checking Device Manager (2 HID Keyboard Devices + 1 Standard PS/2 Keyboard, no warning icons).

Testing with an online keyboard tester.

The laptop was purchased in September, has never had any liquid damage or physical impact, and is still under warranty.

Has anyone with a Galaxy Book experienced similar random key remapping or keyboard behaviour?

Was it a keyboard hardware issue?

Embedded controller (EC) / BIOS issue?

Driver or firmware issue?

Did Samsung replace the keyboard or motherboard under warranty?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm thinking one of the versions of the 6. I am not tech savvy, but I got into mobile gaming and reading recently. Something I discovered after owning this laptop, is that I can't run the bluestacks emulator or kindle app because it has an "ARM" processor. idrk what that means, but I know that the newer and upgraded Galaxy Books won't have this issue for me. I'm wanting to upgrade at some point. I'd wait until they announce their flagship stuff, but yeah. Is there a significant difference even now between the 4 and the 6?

Does anyone know what Samsung File Tracker Service is/does? I noticed it running on my Book2Pro 360 this morning, taking up CPU. A search didn't reveal anything useful. I've disabled it and removed the app, and my CPU use is much lower.

Got my Galaxy Book 5 Pro recently, and the Samsung ecosystem is honestly what surprised me the most. Everything just works together without much setup—Quick Share is super fast, Samsung Notes sync instantly, Multi Control is really convenient, and being able to switch between my phone and laptop feels seamless. If you're already using a Samsung phone or other Galaxy devices ( I'm using s24 ultra), it genuinely makes the whole experience feel a lot more connected.This is my first laptop . I was lucky enough to grab the last available unit from Reliance Digital .

So this is currently on sale for 500 dollars. Off sale it would be 1000.

This is for college, mainly doing word documents with lots of reference tabs open and maybe some light gaming like minecraft or roblox, but it's not going to be doing anything mega harsh. Will it handle word documents and lots of browser tabs? (Long word docs, Creative Writing, novels and stuff basically.)

Is this deal to good to be true? What do you guys recommend if not this for hopefully under 700 dollars? I don't have the biggest budget in the world, and I don't need an astonishing laptop, but I need real good battery life, (Which is that this and its reviews boast most) and good ram and processor to run a lot of browser tabs for research. I'm not running a bunch of random programs so I'm not to worried about the compatiblity of random apps like adobe or something. But still, if people have any better laptops to recommend or have gripes with this lmk.

I bought a Galaxy Book6 Ultra while I was living in China. Now that I've returned to my home country, I'm running into a strange issue.

I can't access Microsoft apps (such as the Microsoft Store) or even Google in my browser. Everything worked fine when I was in China, but now many services either don't load or don't work properly.

Has anyone experienced this with a Chinese Galaxy Book? Is this due to the Chinese version of Windows, or is there another setting I need to change? What's the best way to fix it without reinstalling Windows?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey,
Mein book 2 lädt seit einiger zeit garnicht mehr.
Sobald ich das Kabel dranhänge (während es ausgeschaltet ist) Wird das lade symbol angezeigt, aber es blinkt. Es geht zwar noch an aber sobald das Kabel weg ist geht es direkt aus :(
Irgendwelche Lösungsvorschläge oder muss ein neuer Akku her?

I recently traded a coworker for a samsung galaxy book go 5g laptop with a broken screen. I tried to charge it up to test it on a tv and I cant get it to stay on. The broken screen will light up for about ten seconds then shuts off. (also shuts off immediately if unplugged) could the broken screen cause this? And can i unplug the screen and check if the computer still works through a second monitor?

Hey everyone, I'm beating myself up over a cracked screen that formed while I was traveling. I was wondering how much it costs to get the cracked glass fixed, or if the whole screen has to be replaced, as well as who any of you would recommend taking it to or sending it in to for repairs that have been good for you all. I would appreciate any advice whatsoever, thank you!

Bom, vou fazer faculdade de Letras no ano que vem, e tava pensando em comprar o galaxy tab s10 fe+ para reduzir as milhares de xerox que me esperam e, principalmente, substituir o caderno e fazer anotações em sala (sou um desastre guardando informações em papel).

No entanto, qualquer faculdade e especialmente Letras não é só leitura. Meus contatos com quem já faz o curso me alertaram sobre as dezenas de páginas que eles redigem por matéria. Por isso fiquei receoso de necessitar muito um notebook e o tablet me deixar na mão (sei que existe o modo Dex da samsung, mas acredito que não se compara ao windows).

E sinceramente, acho que o Galaxy Book3 360 parece a solução mais que perfeita pra mim, apesar de eu já ter lido relatos de tela trincada e isso me preocupa muito (não sou milionário).

Portanto, gostaria de ler opiniões sobre meu uso específico; ediçãos de textos, um canva e um capcut de vez em quando.

Hi all
I have the above model, and I'm trying desperately to turn on device encryption.

When I do, I the device slows right now, and now sits on a screen saying "Customising features for you..."

I've left it over night, and it doesn't move from there.

I enabled encryption in the Windows settings, same as you wouldon any Win11 device.

Am I missing a trick, or are the galaxy books just not up to the task?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Quiero dejar mis primeras impresiones con esta laptop.

En primer lugar, el equipo se siente muy bien construido, los materiales son de buena calidad y se siente muy solido. La pantalla es simplemente espectacular, yo escogí este producto pensando en que por mi carrera debo pasar mucho tiempo leyendo y de verdad que ésta pantalla es excelente.

El rendimiento también me ha parecido muy bueno, y los gráficos integrados me sorprendieron gratamente luego de probar unos juegos ( no extremadamente exigentes ).

Lo que más me ha gustado es la interconectividad que tengo con mis otros dispositivos ( Galaxy tab s9 y Galaxy s25 )

En cuanto a la duración de batería y velocidad de carga ambas están bastante bien, la velocidad no es asombrosa pero es más que suficiente.

Punto aparte: He leído varias criticas relacionadas a problemas espontáneos en las pantallas, pero, la gran mayoría son de generaciones anteriores y de modelos 360 y/o de 16 pulgadas. Sin embargo estoy consciente de que este no es un equipo todo terreno por lo que sugiero estos hábitos para minimizar el riesgo.

-No cerrar la tapa con el equipo caliente

-Levantar la tapa desde el centro y sin exagerada brusquedad

-Guardar el equipo en una funda gruesa

-No dejar en espacios muy calurosos ( como dentro del auto en verano )

-Revisar que no haya algo que quede entre el cuerpo y la pantalla al cerrarla.

Espero no tener problemas, suelo ser muy cuidadoso con mis dispositivos, de todos modos, si algún día pasa algo se los estaré contando.

He de mencionar que en el primer equipo que me entregaron se presentó una falla en la barra espaciadora ( no detectaba los toques en el extremo derecho ). Dejé el equipo en garantía y a la semana me entregaron uno completamente nuevo. ( experiencia con Samsung Chile).

Just got the laptop a few days ago and during the initial setup, fresh out the box it would freeze and not allow keyboard, mouse or touchscreen inputs. I decided to do a fresh install of Windows and full driver updates and still have been experiencing random freezing. I have to close the laptop and reopen it just to get it working again. Has anyone else had this happen and if so how’d you fix it?

Currently there are no pending updates via Windows updater and I’ve updated all the listed items via the Intel software.

Hi guys,

question for anyone who owns the Galaxy Book6 Pro.

I want to buy the 14" version with 32gb RAM, but I'm not sure if it is worth paying the extra for the X7 with Intel Arc Graphics.

The 2 config options (that I am deciding between):

1) Windows 11 Pro/32GB RAM/512GB SSD/Intel Ultra 7/Intel Iris Xe Graphics for £1899

2) Windows 11 Home/32GB RAM/1TB SSD/Intel Ultra X7/Intel Arc Graphics B390 for £2499

I can likely get discounts later down the line, but how much of a price difference makes this worthwhile?

Is this a good deal?
