Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 14 review - Finally a rival to Apple's MacBook Air thanks to Lunar Lake?

[Redaktion]

Samsung is now equipping its slim 14-inch laptop with Intel's efficient Lunar Lake processors, resulting in better runtimes. However, the price remains high, and Samsung is also slowly losing market share in the OLED panel segment.

Clearly Intel BE201 320MHz supports this channel width, correct only for wifi 7, but the test was performed on asus  axe1100, supporting "only" wifi 6e. This leads to untrue conclusions. I am sure that NC is able to afford buying wifi 7 router or at least provide correct description

8533 MT/s is nice and all, but only 16 GB and soldered? gg

When will there be a laptop with an AMD Halo processor that could be cheaper, with higher performance and lower power consumption?
AMD has the most powerful APU on the market, something many users dream of; but I don't understand why more manufacturers are opting for the AMD Strix Halo APU, whose iGPU is as powerful as an RTX 5070 but with minimal power consumption and no risk of overheating.
The public is demanding more laptops with this Ryzen processor. AMD Strix Halo has been on the market for a year now, and there are only two laptops with this processor:
ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) GZ302
HP ZBook Ultra G1a (14")

Do you really believe a Mac user is going to look at ANY non-Apple computer and based on specs alone go "OOOH! I'm abandoning Apple a doing with a Windows laptop?" I mean come on already. The same is generally true for Windows and Linux users. They're not going to jump to Apple just because of the specs.

Apple is not really "the rival" for any given Windows-based PCs - other Windows based laptops and PCs are... you guys seriously couldn't find one for the headline?

If it were "the rival", then Apple would have more than 17% of the world market in laptops and PCs - and they don't.

It's a stupid comparison that really only serves either as clickbait or pandering. Neither are good.
