Design and Build
Samsung really captured the aesthetic of the MacBook Pro. The Galaxy Book6 Ultra has a beautiful screen, a sleek ultra‑powerful look, and a high‑quality, solid build. It looks almost exactly like a MacBook Pro, to the point where I occasionally use the wrong keyboard shortcuts out of habit. While other Windows laptops have incorporated some MacBook design influences, the Galaxy Book6 Ultra leans heavily into that design language.
Performance
The feel and performance, however, don’t quite match the design. Samsung’s attempt at delivering a MacBook‑style Windows machine falls short in terms of raw performance compared to the visual appeal.
Overall Impression
Imitating what people want is understandable, but the Galaxy Book6 Ultra feels more like a copy than a fresh take. It offers a gorgeous screen and solid construction, yet the performance gap remains noticeable.
