Although it lacks a backlit keyboard and has a non-AMOLED display, the laptop boasts up to 25 hours of battery life and comes with various connectivity options like two USB-C ports, USB-A, HDMI 1.4, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Samsung's Galaxy Book6 joins the competition with Apple's MacBook Neo, which starts at $699 and goes up to $799 for the 512GB version. The new laptop arrives in two finishes, Gray and Violet Silver, and will be available through Samsung.com and Amazon starting October 5.",
