Review: The Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro is the Windows laptop for MacBook fanciers

If you thought 2024 was the year for AI PCs, that was just the warm-up act. While we saw plenty of Qualcomm-powered AI Copilot+ notebooks, like the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge, it wasn't until later in the year when other CPU manufacturers released CPUs with enough AI TOPS for the advanced features Microsoft promised with Copilot+, like Recall.
These new mobile chips promise to be powering some of the best laptops of the year, and the Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro is going to be one of them. It's got everything we love about Samsung laptops (AMOLED displays, svelte and tough designs, and great audio), and it's powered by a choice of two Intel Lunar Lake CPUs.
Add in battery life that has to be experienced to truly understand how impressive it is, the ability to game at playable framerates on an integrated GPU, and tons of Samsung Galaxy ecosystem touches that are more useful than not, and you've got a winner of a Windows laptop.

Windows with style
Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro
The Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro is a fantastic AI PC with a gorgeous high-resolution AMOLED display and premium build quality. It's slightly let down by the short key travel on its keyboard but other than that, it's a winner.
