Samsung has officially expanded its AI PC lineup with the launch of the Galaxy Book6 Edge, a premium Windows laptop that pairs Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X2 Elite processor with Galaxy AI features and a highly portable design. The company is positioning it as a productivity-focused machine that combines on-device AI with seamless integration across the Galaxy ecosystem.

The Galaxy Book6 Edge is built around AI and portability

According to Samsung, the Galaxy Book6 Edge is powered by the new Snapdragon X2 Elite platform, enabling Copilot+ PC experiences while delivering improved AI performance and power efficiency. The laptop features a 16-inch display in a slim chassis and is designed to handle AI-assisted workflows without sacrificing battery life or portability.

Samsung is also emphasizing ecosystem features that tie the laptop closely to Galaxy smartphones. Users can access tools like Multi Control, Quick Share, Phone Link, and Galaxy AI-powered experiences across devices, making it easier to move files, continue tasks, or interact with their phone directly from the PC.

The company says the Galaxy Book6 Edge is now available in the United States, with pricing starting at $2,099.99. While the hardware targets premium buyers, Samsung is pitching the machine as an all-around productivity companion rather than a gaming or workstation replacement.

This feels like Samsung doubling down on the AI PC race

Interestingly, the biggest story here isn’t just another thin-and-light laptop. It’s Samsung’s continued commitment to the ARM-powered Windows ecosystem at a time when AI workloads are becoming central to the PC experience. By pairing Qualcomm’s latest silicon with its own Galaxy software ecosystem, Samsung is trying to offer something that feels more cohesive than a spec sheet full of TOPS numbers.

Whether that strategy pays off will depend on software compatibility and real-world performance, but one thing is clear: the AI PC race is no longer just about who has the fastest chip. It’s increasingly about who can build the smartest ecosystem around it, and Samsung wants the Galaxy Book6 Edge to be right in the middle of that conversation.

Google’s Gemini app adds a toggle to disable AI watermarks, with some exceptions
Your AI creations no longer need a visible stamp.

If you have ever generated an image with Gemini and gotten annoyed by that stamped-on watermark, Google finally heard you. Gemini is rolling out a new setting called Media Watermarks that lets you toggle visible watermarks on or off across everything you create, including images made with Nano Banana, videos made with Omni, and music made with Lyria. Until now, that visible watermark was applied automatically with no way to turn it off.

U.S. courts are set to begin publicly reporting how often federal judges authorize the government to use spyware and hacking tools to intercept real-time communications, giving the public its first standardized view of how frequently these surveillance techniques are being used.

The change will begin with data collected for the 2028 Wiretap Report, which will be published in 2029. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts told TechCrunch that the report will introduce a new “spyware/hacking” category covering wiretaps conducted using hacking tools and spyware, known to federal authorities as network investigative techniques, or NITs.
