Samsung’s new laptop has literally double the AI

Samsung has announced the first of its Galaxy Book5 lineup and it can use both Copilot+ experiences and Galaxy AI.

Samsung has published a Newsroom post announcing its latest Galaxy Book model, the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, as the first of its new “powerhouse AI PCs.” It’s a Copilot+ laptop powered by an Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processor  (otherwise known as Lunar Lake) that can deliver up to 47 tera operations per second (TOPS) of neural processing unit (NPU) power — and when Copilot just isn’t enough, you can link your Galaxy phone and play around with Galaxy AI too.

The PC also has an Intel Arc GPU that improves graphics performance by up to 17%. According to the press release, the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 will have access to more than 300 AI-accelerated features across 100 different apps, though it seems that Copilot+ PC experiences won’t be available at launch. Instead, Samsung expects them to be available via future updates — updates that Microsoft confirmed at IFA will come this November.

When you connect a compatible Galaxy phone through Microsoft Phone Link, you can use Galaxy AI features like Circle to Search with Google, Chat Assist, Live Translate, and Transcript Assist. One of the main selling points for the laptop is “performance meets ecosystem connectivity,” much like other Galaxy Book models, so it seems you can get a lot more out of the PC if you own a few other Samsung devices. There’s no word on whether Samsung plans on bringing these AI features to its PCs natively, however.

As for hardware, it has a huge 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with Vision Booster, which aims to improve outdoor visibility and reduce glare. The resolution is 2880 x 1800, so it’s good to see that Samsung isn’t trying to pull off a larger screen with only 1080p like it did with the original 15-inch Galaxy Book Pro 360. The display is also a touchscreen, so you can make use of the 360 hinges and the included S Pen to use the PC like a tablet — though folding the screen back fully does mean your keyboard and touchpad will make direct contact with whatever surface you’re placing it on.

One of the biggest draws of the Snapdragon Copilot+ PCs is the battery life, and Samsung promises “all-day battery life” and up to 25 hours of video playback for its Intel Copilot+ PC. Whether it can live up to these claims once reviewers get their hands on it is another story, and we’ll keep you posted on it. The 2-in-1 laptop will be available with 16GB or 32GB of RAM and 512GB or 1TB of storage and it will be hitting stores this month.

Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.

OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.

ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.

Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.

Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.

The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
