The new Book 6 model runs Windows 11 and also comes with the option to use it with Linux. It features a 14-inch LCD screen with anti-glare coating and supports 1080p resolution. The Book 6 weighs 1.35 kg and is sleek as the other models in the series.
You get a host of ports like USB A, HDMI 1.4, two USB C interfaces and the 3.5mm headphone jack. It supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 for connectivity. The biggest difference with the price is that Book 6 comes with Intel Core 3 or Core 5 processor options, with the option 8GB/16GB RAM and storage configurable up to 1TB that will cost you extra.
When put these details against the MacBook Neo, most people would say the performance level will be the one to watch out for. The A18 Pro powering the Neo is good enough for most tasks and some gaming, the Intel versions on the Book 6 can offer basic tasks but anything else will be debatable. Having said that, Samsung does give you Dolby Atmos speakers but the backlit keyboard is missing, same as the Neo.
Apple launching the Neo was likely to kick off a Windows budget bonanza in the market and brands like Asus, HP and Dell are doing just that.
