According to @kro_roe, Samsung is developing a Galaxy Book5 Ultra, one notebook to rule them all kind of deal. This new device is supposed to have a 3K 240Hz OLED panel, which will look spectacular at 16 inches, which is the current form factor of the Galaxy Book4 Ultra.

Currently, a lot of manufacturers are adopting 3K screens. The new ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED S5507 has a Snapdragon X Elite and a 3K 120Hz OLED panel.

Some more speculated features include Thunderbolt 5 as well as an RTX 5070 GPU. Thunderbolt 5 doubles the bandwidth and goes even further, thanks to its Boost mode, leveling up transfer speeds up to 120 Gbps.

	Thunderbolt 4	Thunderbolt 5
Total bandwidth	40 Gbps	80 Gbps, optional 120 Gbps in boost mode
Data transfer bandwidth	32 Gbps	64 Gbps
Display support	Dual 4K 60Hz monitors, 8K monitor at 30Hz	Three 4K 144Hz monitors, 8K monitor at 60Hz
Power and charging	Up to 100W via USB Power Delivery	Up to 240W, minimum 140W
Connector	USB-C	USB-C

The RTX 50 series are set to launch in 2025 but we don’t have anything more specific at the moment.

In terms of what CPU the Book5 Ultra will have inside of it, as of now it looks like Arrow Lake is the main contender. We’re expecting the Arrow Lake to hit the market as soon as September this year:

Of course, a more powerful CPU and an RTX 50 will require a massive upgrade to the cooling, as this combo of CPU and GPU will generate a fair bit of heat.

If you don’t want to wait for the 5 Ultra, which may or may not meet the expectations set by leakers, go ahead and get the latest Galaxy Book. It’s a great machine that is already available on the market:
