    • This 16-inch Samsung OLED laptop with Core Ultra 7 processor is now only $1,099

      By TarasBuria · Posted 1 hour ago

      This 16-inch Samsung OLED laptop with Core Ultra 7 processor is now only $1,099 by Taras Buria Buying a new PC amid the memory and storage crisis is not an easy task, but there are still plenty of solid deals out there, especially if you are looking for something of a middle ground, say a laptop for typical computer use. The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro is currently a good deal, as the manufacturer slashed the price by 31% on this premium laptop. The Galaxy Book5 Pro is a 16-inch laptop with a touchscreen 3K Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate and S-Pen support. The computer is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor, which has plenty of power for demanding tasks and a powerful NPU for local AI-processing. The latter also makes the laptop a Copilot+ PC, so that you can access various AI-powered features in Windows 11, including Recall, Windows Studio Effects, and more. In the box, you will find the laptop, its S-Pen stylus, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a 65W power adapter. Speaking of power, Samsung promises up to 25 hours on a single charge, so the Galaxy Book5 Pro is a solid contender for those who are looking for a long-lasting computer without resorting to ARM-powered PCs. Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro Core Ultra 7, 16GB, 512GB Laptop - $1,099 | 31% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the previous deals that we have covered, OR you can also visit Amazon US deals page.
