Galaxy Book 6 Enterprise: Samsung fordert den Business-Markt

If I asked you to name the three brands that IT departments go to when shopping for corporate PC laptops, I bet just about anyone watching this video could do it. But Samsung wants to change that. The goal of the Galaxy Book 6 Enterprise Edition with Intel Vro technology is no compromises on performance, security, design, manageability, or character count. And they sponsored this video where we're going to be showing it off. Now, I could be lazy and say, "Well, they took everything that was great about their consumer line of Galaxy Books, added some enterprisegrade refinements, and just sent it." But some of these enterprisegrade refinements merit additional discussion and can actually be useful outside of the enterprise as well. Intel's Vro remote management is easier than ever and now works without any infrastructure commitment, making it actually a great solution for the family IT guy. We're going to take a look at that and a closer look at the Galaxy Book 6 Enterprise Edition. Now, let's start with a physical overview. The Enterprise Edition gets a subtle color change, kind of like the difference between gray with an A and gray with an E. hard to notice, but what I do notice is the generous dongle-free connectivity on both sides of the unit. The VPro platform models, like the ones that I've got here, get full-sized gigabit Ethernet, one of those cute little folding hinged ones, HDMI 1.4 and dual Thunderbolt 4 on the left side with a pair of 5 GB USBA ports, a universal audio jack, and a cheeky little micro SD reader right there over on the right. The IT department is surely going to love not having to give out a bunch of easy to lose adapters. Now, before I even boot this up, there is one more connector that I want to show you guys using my precision screwdriver kit in the exclusive float plane colorway, ltstore.com. All right, let's pop these feet off. It's not my preference to have screws hidden under feet. Do I just pry them off? >> They'll pop off easy. Oh, okay. Oh, so they do. Oh, cool. They're not adhesive. You know what? All is forgiven, Samsung. Good job. And I can just get them off with my fingers. I I have not actually seen that before. All right. All right, Samsung. I mean, framework investment disclosure. >> Yeah. Why am I having so much trouble? There it goes. There we go. Connector, or should I say connectors? Because Samsung has included two user accessible M.2 slots for storage. Both of them are PCIe Gen 4x4 and support drives up to 1 TB with our sample unit having a 512 gig NVME in the primary 80mm slot. Oh, how awkward would it be if it was not Samsung? It is Samsung. Okayoo, that's cool. And the secondary 30 mm slot ships empty, which is great for a quick upgrade. Now, they say they support up to 1 TB, but I actually see no real reason why you couldn't put a bigger one in in the future, but that's just not what it's certified for. As for RAM, unfortunately, that is not user replaceable or upgradeable. It's not really a surprise in 2026. It's just one of those things where you might want to make sure that you proactively whine at it about how much RAM you're going to need in the future because you won't be adding any after the fact. Since we're in here, there are a few different configurations available, all with series 3 Intel Core Ultra processors. I like the 14inch model with the Core Ultra 5 355 or the Ultra 7 365 because the Vro platform brings benefits beyond just the better hardware specs. There are nonVRO options in both 14 and 16in if you just can't live without your number pad, but you're going to be giving up Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thunderbolt 4 along with, of course, Vro. Now, let's get this thing back together and fire it up. It actually kind of makes sense that the clips are so robust if they only have the four screws. Yeah. >> Still, I would have preferred. They just have more screw holes in the bottom. >> You didn't put the screws in. >> Oh, balls. You know what? I'm not going to be the last person to make that mistake. >> Oh, there's different size feet, by the way. >> The tall ones are at the back. >> Yeah. >> Got it. That makes sense, actually. Just like photographs. >> And they actually kind of fight you if you put them in the wrong spot. So, >> it it's actually quite quite good. Um, it did not allow me to put the wrong one in the wrong place. I should get a Samsung NOX screen here. There it is. Nox is Samsung's embedded security chip. I'll be the first to admit I don't have a ton of hands-on experience with it, but basically it's meant to help with corporate security and fleet management. We're going to stick a link down below if you want to learn more about Samsung Knox. What I do have experience with is bloated laptop software, and Samsung claims I won't see any of that on these enterprise models. They even go as far as to call it a clean OS. So, let's have a look at what that looks like in practice. Nothing unexpected in the system tray. Yep. I mean, one clue is there. Microsoft's going to Microsoft, right? Teams again, Microsoft color engine. The display profile that actually I I like to see this Dolby stuff is part of Windows. Intel drivers, OBS, again, we put on there, realtech audio drivers, Samsung settings, and that is basically it. As for the start menu, the only thing that looks a miss here is Samsung settings, but we were actually pretty impressed by this. Um, you don't need to make an account or click through a license or do any nonsense. And kind of everything you need is in here. Connections, connected devices, sound, notifications. Oh, okay. Interesting. It just pops up the Windows notification settings. >> That's the only one that does it. The rest of them are all controlled in the app, though, >> huh? Okay. You can play around with the color temperature of your display, adjust your HDR. I can adjust the timeout on my keyboard backlight. That's actually really nice. Sometimes when I'm like sitting and thinking, you know, I'm on a flight or something like that. I don't want it to be like constantly turning off and like flashing on and off at me while I'm while I'm working. Set it to like 3 minutes or 5 minutes. Auto boot. Start up when lit open. They they don't mean sleep. They mean boot. >> Boots. Yeah. Oh, that's pretty cool. Have you seen that before? >> Not that I'm aware of. >> That's That's pretty cool. Lock camera on and off. Not a physical cover. I really like this. This is a really important feature. Battery protection. Uh I generally like to set it at around 80% if I don't really need all of the battery life that my device has to offer. Uh it really helps maintain the longevity of your battery. It's funny. Samsung did what Microsoft took 15 years to do. When did Windows 8 come out again? They went and they consolidated all your settings in one place and with basically one interface. Coming back up to connected devices, this is something that Samsung's calling their Galaxy connected experience. So you can do things, for example, like set up a second screen if you have a Galaxy tablet. Get second screen app. They could have preloaded that. Credit to Samsung, they didn't. I tip my cap to you. Well, it's not really a cap, but really is very clean. All we have is the Samsung settings app. That honestly seems fine and pretty light. Skip signin. I can just not always appreciate that option. Even if I might normally sign in. Searching for nearby tablets. Your Tab 11 Ultra. Oh, okay. Is connected to your Galaxy S26. What are the odds this just works? Do I need to have a second screen app on here, you think? Oh, second screen. >> Let's go, boys. Very cool. Once you know how to do it, that easy and no wires. Samsung is also streamlining the work of the IT department, offering Galaxy Book configuration services, which basically preconfigures the systems from the factory with things like custom OS imaging, BIOS settings, custom BIOS logos, and even asset tagging. None of that's like crazy, but those little time savers add up to a big time savings when you're preparing a hundred or even thousands of machines for deployment. Once you're deployed, though, you still need to support your users, whether that's the art department down the hall or your dear old granny who keeps the recipes to her award-winning quadruple chocolate brownies on her laptop so she won't forget it. And that is where the Intel Vro platform is a total game changer. If you're in it, you probably already know all about Vro. In fact, you might be using it to manage a system right now. But bear with me here as I give just one example of what it can do for everyone else. Just a couple summers back, a security platform called Crowd Strike had a little oopsie that caused millions and millions of computers to blue screen. Now, it turns out that Crowd Strike was quite popular with many of the big companies that fly airplanes all over the place. These are called airlines. One of those airlines had to cancel more than 7,000 airline trips, and it took them almost a week to fix their computers the oldfashioned way, and it cost them millions of gold coins. But other smarter airlines were using Intel V Pro and got computers back up and running in just one day, and they hardly had to cancel any trips at all. Now, why don't we listen quietly and let Mr. Lionus show us all how it works? Let's take a look at how VRO Fleet Services gives us total control over our enrolled PCs, even if the OS is hopelessly broken and blue screening all over the place. And the coolest part is it's built into every VPro platform device for free. VPro Fleet.intel.com. All right, we've got both of these set up. This is going to be our management device, and this is going to be Grandma's computer with her brownie recipe. Let's see if Lionus can figure this out without ever having used VRO before. All right, continue to log in or sign up. Oh, I need to use yours. Oh, look at that. Jordan block. Second Jordan block. Thank you for that, Intel. Nice. From here, all I got to do is go to my endpoint groups. And then I'm just going to grab this pairing token file, which let's pop this in here. Now, we just run the fleet installer. Hey, there we go. There it is. Desktop 00 I5 A71. What a name. >> That's what I call my grandma. >> Dear sweet. >> You can rename it there if you choose to. >> I already did. >> All right, >> there it is. And now all we got to do is click here to manage it. And what's super cool about this is no matter what kind of state the machine is in, in fact, we can see exactly what state it's in. It's powered on. Siri connected, no matter what state it's in, we can do anything we need to do, whether that's in the OS or even getting direct remote control of the BIOS. So, if your user just screws something up, you know what's funny is my grandparents called me today. They were having issues with their TV. Ivonne had to go all the way down there because I was at work. She had the day off. A book had fallen off a shelf and was sitting in front of the IR receiver. Like that's that's just the kind of stuff that you know happens. And the more that you are set up to remote manage, the less you have to go and deal with it in person, which is not to say that you should never, you know, visit your grandparents. You should. It's just to say that, you know, make it about the visit. Don't make it about fixing their computer. That's pretty cool. Look at that. Key combinations and everything. So this is it. This is built right in. There's no subscriptions or changing software terms. Team viewer, excuse me. I had something unethical got in my throat. Just easy remote access. Thanks for the recipe, Grandma. It's worth noting that aside from just connecting remotely, there are certain things that if I try to do them on the user's computer, it's going to pop up a code as well. And just like before, it won't be captured by any kind of screen recording. The exact functions available can actually be customized by the manufacturer, by the way. And Samsung is actually going to be the first to give us a couple of nice extras like remote secure erase and remote one-click recovery. Now, obviously for a platform like this, security is kind of like all three of the top three priorities. So, those features are still being thoroughly tested, but are expected to release soon TM. If these sturdy Galaxy Book 6 Enterprise Edition machines seem like a good fit for your business or for your family, guys, check out the links in the video description. Thanks Samsung for sponsoring this video. This is actually pretty fun opportunity to get to take a look at uh Intel Vro. I haven't played around with it in a very long time and it has matured a lot. Very cool. If you like this video, I don't know, something else Samsung, maybe check out our S26 video over on our short circuit channel. Farewell grandma's brownie
