Samsung has updated its Galaxy Book 5 lineup with Intel’s newly announced NPU-equipped Arrow Lake Core Ultra processors. The new Galaxy Book 5 Pro and Galaxy Book 5 360 were announced for global markets earlier today at CES 2025.
Both the new Galaxy Book laptops pack Galaxy AI capabilities, including one called AI Select, which is similar to Circle to Search found on Galaxy phones, and the newly announced equivalent Vision AI feature for Samsung TVs.
Another cool AI feature on the new Intel-powered Galaxy Book 5 Pro and Galaxy Book 360 is an AI image retouching tool called Photo Remaster. It allows users to retouch and clean up blurry photos, including very old ones.
Users also get expanded Galaxy AI access via the Microsoft Phone Link app. So familiar Galaxy smartphone features like Live Translate and Transcript Assist can be brought over from select Samsung phones to the PCs. Samsung says even more Windows 11 PC-Galaxy features are set to arrive with the Galaxy S25 series.
Galaxy Tablets and phones with One UI 7 will also let users change PC settings in a centralized manner through the Nearby devices feature. Users will also be able to directly access files from connected One UI 7 devices without having to download them individually. The feature will ensure seamless access to files on Samsung phones, tabs, and PCs.
Additionally, the laptops bring powerful multitasking features for easy navigation between menus and copying and pasting content between your Galaxy smartphone, Galaxy Tab, Samsung TV, or Smart monitor.
