Here's why the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Series laptop is a game-changer for SMEs

Beyond just productivity

The Galaxy Book5 series gets expanded AI capabilities thanks to the new Intel Core processors that redefine performance and efficiency. In other words, they are faster and consume less power than ever before, delivering exceptional battery life across the range. Essential business features like transcribing notes, intuitive search functionality and many more others are built into the laptop itself for a seamless workflow. More importantly, the hardware inside the Galaxy Book5 Series provides a great foundation for the future AI services.

The power of two

Use a Samsung Book2 Series with a Galaxy smartphone with Galaxy AI (like the Samsung Galaxy S24 or the Samsung Galaxy S25) to enjoy seamless connectivity, thanks to Link to Windows. Combining the two devices opens a world of opportunities for the more integrated organic approach to work. Your smartphone can turn into a wireless, untethered webcam, a powerful optical character recognition (OCR) engine and can even be controlled by the Galaxy Book5 Pro’s keyboard and touchpad.

Security baked in

Samsung has added Knox, it’s proven government-trusted security solution, to the Galaxy Book5 Series, adding another layer of protection – a dedicated hardware chip and software – to mitigate cyber threats and secure the data and the user. Galaxy Book5 Series is also certified by the National Institute of Standards &Technology (NIST), a US federal agency that promotes cybersecurity.

Premium hardware The Galaxy Book5 Series features a sturdy, ready-for-work design with engineered CNC aluminium, a lightweight, ultra-slim form factor, even when accounting for the S-pen stylus (on the Book5 Pro 360) and numeric keypad (on the 16-inch model). The touch-enabled Dynamic AMOLED 2x display available on the Galaxy Book5 Pro and Pro 360 is a Samsung exclusive and delivers punchy, vibrant colours, indoors and outdoors.
