The topic Samsung Galaxy Book 6 Edge with Snapdragon X2 Elite is $2,100, only 16GB of RAM<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Samsung has just announced its first Galaxy Book laptop powered by Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon X2 Elite and, while it looks great, it\u2019s hard to annoy the sky-high price tag.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Book 6 Edge is only Samsung\u2019s second Snapdragon-powered Galaxy Book, with the previous Galaxy Book 4 Edge series consisting of two screen sizes an powered by Snapdragon X Elite.<\/p>\n

With the new model, Samsung is upgrading to Snapdragon X2 Elite with a slimmer offering.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Book 6 Edge comes solely in a 16-inch size in a \u201cGray Blue\u201d color. There\u2019s just one configuration as well \u2013 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM. Samsung\u2019s announcement never mentions that latter spec, but does highlight the AI performance of the new Qualcomm chip, the anti-reflective AMOLED display, and 22 hours of battery life.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Book 6 Edge also packs two USB-C ports, a full-size HDMI port, a microSD card slot, a USB-A port, and a headphone jack.<\/p>\n

As per usual with a Galaxy Book, there\u2019s also a bunch of different integrations with Galaxy phones:<\/p>\n

Storage Share enables direct access to photos and files across Galaxy devices, so you can view, edit, and transfer files across your Galaxy Book6 Edge, Galaxy mobile phone, and Galaxy Tab without cables or external drives. With Multi Control, you can copy, paste, and drag-and-drop between your Galaxy devices. Second Screen allows you to instantly create a portable workstation by extending your desktop to a Galaxy Tab. Nearby Devices helps you see and quickly connect to all your other Galaxy devices.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a tough price point for a number of reasons. On the Windows side, the\u00a0Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x\u00a0has the same chipset, an AMOLED display (albeit at 14 inches), and\u00a032GB of RAM\u00a0for $1,899, and that\u2019s when it\u2019s not on sale. Over in Apple\u2019s garden, a comparable MacBook Pro (16-inch) retails for $2,699, but with 24GB of RAM instead of 16GB. A MacBook Pro (14-inch) with the same storage and RAM runs $1,699.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to understand why we\u2019re at this price tag, but it hurts. Especially recalling that the Galaxy Book 4 Edge started at just $1,349 barely two years ago.<\/p>\n

Samsung is selling this laptop solely through its website, shipping immediately, with up to $390 back for trade-ins \u2013 that\u2019s really only for Galaxy Book 5 laptops, though. Anything else is lucky to get anything over $25 in credit.<\/p>\n
