This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
Samsung has finally released its base Galaxy Book 6 in the US while also delivering a price hike across the entire lineup.
The Galaxy Book 6 series, Samsung’s lineup of Windows laptops, was first announced earlier this year with pricing that was supposed to start at $1,049. The company launched the Galaxy Book 6 Pro and Ultra in March, and has now added the base model to the mix.

Pricing starts at $1,249, which is $200 up from the original $1,049 starting price.
This isn’t the only variant seeing a price hike. Samsung has also upped the price across Galaxy Book 6 Pro and Ultra models. Here’s the full breakdown:
Samsung has also recently raised prices on Galaxy phones and tablets, including price hikes on Galaxy Z Fold 7, Tab S11, and a variety of other high-end and budget-focused devices.
