Your Galaxy Book6 Pro price just jumped in Korea

Samsung’s listed starting prices hit $2310 to $2377, about 20% above the last Pro launch ranges.

Samsung has posted Korean list pricing for the new Galaxy Book6 Pro, and the Galaxy Book6 Pro price is noticeably higher than what recent Pro models opened at. The 14-inch model is listed at 3,410,000 KRW, and the 16-inch version is listed at 3,510,000 KRW.

That’s roughly a 20% hike versus the prior generation’s Pro launch pricing. If you’ve been waiting for the next Book refresh, those numbers reset expectations fast.

Samsung’s Korean launch page also points to a sale start on January 27, so this isn’t a distant teaser. Buyers can size up real configurations soon.

Samsung isn’t teasing a cheap base

The first Book6 Pro configurations Samsung is showing look firmly premium. Both sizes are paired with 32GB LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD, alongside an Intel Core Ultra X7 processor (Series 3) and Intel Arc graphics.

That matters because the Galaxy Book6 Pro price you see up front is already attached to high memory and storage. There’s no lower-spec entry model shown here that would soften the sticker shock.

A 20% hike changes the math

Price jumps hurt most when they push you into a different shopping bracket. At 3.41M to 3.51M KRW, Book6 Pro buyers who used to stretch for a Pro may start cross-shopping last-gen Pro deals, non-Pro Galaxy Book models, or competing Windows ultrabooks.

The report also ties the new lineup to Intel’s Panther Lake platform, which helps explain why Samsung is leaning into top-tier specs at launch. Still, the materials here don’t confirm whether cheaper trims arrive later, and that missing piece is what most shoppers will want next.

What to watch before you buy

If you’re buying in Korea, treat these as the real early price anchors, not a placeholder number. Decide now whether 32GB and 1TB fits your needs, because that’s what Samsung is putting in the spotlight.

If you’re outside Korea, don’t assume this pricing travels. The same report notes US pricing has not been announced, so the safest move is to wait for your local pricing page, then compare it against discounted Book5 Pro and Book4 Pro stock once January 27 ordering opens in Korea.

This experiment shows how easy it is to poison an open-weight AI model for under $100
This research raises new doubts about trusting open weight AI models.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Open-weight AI models have been having a moment lately. Just this month, Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 model landed close behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in several benchmarks, all while remaining fully open-weight and downloadable by anyone.

However, Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and staff security advocate at Semgrep, managed to poison an open-weight model and proved how easily that openness can be turned against you (via The Register).

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.
