[0:00] If I asked you to name the three brands
[0:02] that IT departments go to when shopping
[0:04] for corporate PC laptops, I bet just
[0:06] about anyone watching this video could
[0:08] do it. But Samsung wants to change that.
[0:11] The goal of the Galaxy Book 6 Enterprise
[0:13] Edition with Intel Vro technology is no
[0:16] compromises on performance, security,
[0:18] design, manageability, or character
[0:21] count. And they sponsored this video
[0:23] where we're going to be showing it off.
[0:24] Now, I could be lazy and say, "Well,
[0:27] they took everything that was great
[0:28] about their consumer line of Galaxy
[0:30] Books, added some enterprisegrade
[0:32] refinements, and just sent it." But some
[0:34] of these enterprisegrade refinements
[0:37] merit additional discussion and can
[0:38] actually be useful outside of the
[0:41] enterprise as well. Intel's Vro remote
[0:43] management is easier than ever and now
[0:45] works without any infrastructure
[0:47] commitment, making it actually a great
[0:49] solution for the family IT guy. We're
[0:51] going to take a look at that and a
[0:53] closer look at the Galaxy Book 6
[0:55] Enterprise Edition.
[0:57] Now,
[1:06] let's start with a physical overview.
[1:08] The Enterprise Edition gets a subtle
[1:10] color change, kind of like the
[1:12] difference between gray with an A and
[1:14] gray with an E. hard to notice, but what
[1:16] I do notice is the generous dongle-free
[1:19] connectivity on both sides of the unit.
[1:22] The VPro platform models, like the ones
[1:24] that I've got here, get full-sized
[1:26] gigabit Ethernet, one of those cute
[1:28] little folding hinged ones, HDMI 1.4 and
[1:31] dual Thunderbolt 4 on the left side with
[1:33] a pair of 5 GB USBA ports, a universal
[1:36] audio jack, and a cheeky little micro SD
[1:38] reader right there over on the right.
[1:41] The IT department is surely going to
[1:43] love not having to give out a bunch of
[1:44] easy to lose adapters. Now, before I
[1:46] even boot this up, there is one more
[1:48] connector that I want to show you guys
[1:51] using my precision screwdriver kit in
[1:53] the exclusive float plane colorway,
[1:54] ltstore.com.
[1:56] All right, let's pop these feet off.
[1:58] It's not my preference to have screws
[2:00] hidden under feet. Do I just pry them
[2:01] off?
[2:02] >> They'll pop off easy. Oh, okay. Oh, so
[2:04] they do. Oh, cool. They're not adhesive.
[2:06] You know what? All is forgiven, Samsung.
[2:09] Good job. And I can just get them off
[2:10] with my fingers. I I have not actually
[2:12] seen that before. All right. All right,
[2:15] Samsung. I mean, framework investment
[2:17] disclosure.
[2:18] >> Yeah. Why am I having so much trouble?
[2:20] There it goes.
[2:22] There we go. Connector, or should I say
[2:26] connectors?
[2:28] Because Samsung has included two user
[2:30] accessible M.2 slots for storage. Both
[2:33] of them are PCIe Gen 4x4 and support
[2:35] drives up to 1 TB with our sample unit
[2:38] having a 512 gig NVME in the primary
[2:40] 80mm slot. Oh, how awkward would it be
[2:43] if it was not Samsung? It is Samsung.
[2:45] Okayoo, that's cool. And the secondary
[2:48] 30 mm slot ships empty, which is great
[2:51] for a quick upgrade. Now, they say they
[2:53] support up to 1 TB, but I actually see
[2:55] no real reason why you couldn't put a
[2:57] bigger one in in the future, but that's
[2:59] just not what it's certified for. As for
[3:02] RAM, unfortunately, that is not user
[3:05] replaceable or upgradeable. It's not
[3:07] really a surprise in 2026. It's just one
[3:09] of those things where you might want to
[3:10] make sure that you proactively whine at
[3:12] it about how much RAM you're going to
[3:14] need in the future because you won't be
[3:16] adding any after the fact. Since we're
[3:19] in here, there are a few different
[3:20] configurations available, all with
[3:22] series 3 Intel Core Ultra processors. I
[3:24] like the 14inch model with the Core
[3:26] Ultra 5 355 or the Ultra 7 365 because
[3:30] the Vro platform brings benefits beyond
[3:32] just the better hardware specs. There
[3:34] are nonVRO options in both 14 and 16in
[3:38] if you just can't live without your
[3:39] number pad, but you're going to be
[3:40] giving up Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and
[3:42] Thunderbolt 4 along with, of course,
[3:44] Vro. Now, let's get this thing back
[3:46] together and fire it up. It actually
[3:48] kind of makes sense that the clips are
[3:50] so robust if they only have the four
[3:52] screws. Yeah.
[3:53] >> Still, I would have preferred. They just
[3:54] have more screw holes in the bottom.
[3:55] >> You didn't put the screws in.
[3:57] >> Oh, balls. You know what? I'm not going
[3:59] to be the last person to make that
[4:00] mistake.
[4:01] >> Oh, there's different size feet, by the
[4:02] way.
[4:03] >> The tall ones are at the back.
[4:04] >> Yeah.
[4:04] >> Got it. That makes sense, actually. Just
[4:06] like photographs.
[4:07] >> And they actually kind of fight you if
[4:08] you put them in the wrong spot. So,
[4:09] >> it it's actually quite quite good. Um,
[4:12] it did not allow me to put the wrong one
[4:14] in the wrong place. I should get a
[4:16] Samsung NOX screen here. There it is.
[4:18] Nox is Samsung's embedded security chip.
[4:20] I'll be the first to admit I don't have
[4:22] a ton of hands-on experience with it,
[4:23] but basically it's meant to help with
[4:25] corporate security and fleet management.
[4:27] We're going to stick a link down below
[4:28] if you want to learn more about Samsung
[4:30] Knox. What I do have experience with is
[4:33] bloated laptop software, and Samsung
[4:36] claims I won't see any of that on these
[4:39] enterprise models. They even go as far
[4:41] as to call it a clean OS. So, let's have
[4:43] a look at what that looks like in
[4:45] practice. Nothing unexpected in the
[4:47] system tray. Yep. I mean, one clue is
[4:51] there. Microsoft's going to Microsoft,
[4:53] right? Teams again, Microsoft color
[4:55] engine. The display profile that
[4:57] actually I I like to see this Dolby
[4:59] stuff is part of Windows. Intel drivers,
[5:02] OBS, again, we put on there, realtech
[5:04] audio drivers, Samsung settings, and
[5:07] that is basically it. As for the start
[5:10] menu, the only thing that looks a miss
[5:13] here is Samsung settings, but we were
[5:16] actually pretty impressed by this. Um,
[5:20] you don't need to make an account or
[5:21] click through a license or do any
[5:23] nonsense. And kind of everything you
[5:26] need is in here. Connections,
[5:29] connected devices, sound, notifications.
[5:32] Oh, okay. Interesting. It just pops up
[5:36] the Windows notification settings.
[5:38] >> That's the only one that does it. The
[5:39] rest of them are all controlled in the
[5:40] app though
[5:41] >> huh? Okay. You can play around with the
[5:44] color temperature of your display,
[5:46] adjust your HDR. I can adjust the
[5:47] timeout on my keyboard backlight. That's
[5:49] actually really nice. Sometimes when I'm
[5:51] like sitting and thinking, you know, I'm
[5:53] on a flight or something like that. I
[5:54] don't want it to be like constantly
[5:56] turning off and like flashing on and off
[5:58] at me while I'm while I'm working. Set
[5:59] it to like 3 minutes or 5 minutes. Auto
[6:02] boot.
[6:04] Start up when lit open. They they don't
[6:05] mean sleep. They mean boot.
[6:07] >> Boots. Yeah. Oh, that's pretty cool.
[6:09] Have you seen that before?
[6:10] >> Not that I'm aware of.
[6:11] >> That's That's pretty cool. Lock camera
[6:13] on and off. Not a physical cover. I
[6:15] really like this. This is a really
[6:17] important feature. Battery protection.
[6:19] Uh I generally like to set it at around
[6:21] 80% if I don't really need all of the
[6:24] battery life that my device has to
[6:25] offer. Uh it really helps maintain the
[6:28] longevity of your battery. It's funny.
[6:30] Samsung did what Microsoft took 15 years
[6:33] to do. When did Windows 8 come out
[6:34] again? They went and they consolidated
[6:36] all your settings in one place and with
[6:38] basically one interface. Coming back up
[6:40] to connected devices, this is something
[6:42] that Samsung's calling their Galaxy
[6:44] connected experience. So you can do
[6:46] things, for example, like set up a
[6:49] second screen if you have a Galaxy
[6:52] tablet. Get second screen app. They
[6:54] could have preloaded that. Credit to
[6:56] Samsung, they didn't. I tip my cap to
[6:58] you. Well, it's not really a cap, but
[7:00] really is very clean. All we have is the
[7:02] Samsung settings app. That honestly
[7:05] seems fine and pretty light. Skip
[7:07] signin. I can just not always appreciate
[7:10] that option. Even if I might normally
[7:13] sign in. Searching for nearby tablets.
[7:15] Your Tab 11 Ultra. Oh, okay. Is
[7:17] connected to your Galaxy S26. What are
[7:19] the odds this just works? Do I need to
[7:21] have a second screen app on here, you
[7:23] think? Oh, second screen.
[7:25] >> Let's go, boys.
[7:32] Very cool. Once you know how to do it,
[7:35] that easy and no wires. Samsung is also
[7:38] streamlining the work of the IT
[7:40] department, offering Galaxy Book
[7:41] configuration services, which basically
[7:44] preconfigures the systems from the
[7:46] factory with things like custom OS
[7:48] imaging, BIOS settings, custom BIOS
[7:51] logos, and even asset tagging. None of
[7:54] that's like crazy, but those little time
[7:56] savers add up to a big time savings when
[7:59] you're preparing a hundred or even
[8:01] thousands of machines for deployment.
[8:02] Once you're deployed, though, you still
[8:04] need to support your users, whether
[8:06] that's the art department down the hall
[8:07] or your dear old granny who keeps the
[8:09] recipes to her award-winning quadruple
[8:11] chocolate brownies on her laptop so she
[8:13] won't forget it. And that is where the
[8:14] Intel Vro platform is a total game
[8:16] changer. If you're in it, you probably
[8:19] already know all about Vro. In fact, you
[8:22] might be using it to manage a system
[8:23] right now. But bear with me here as I
[8:26] give just one example of what it can do
[8:28] for everyone else. Just a couple summers
[8:30] back, a security platform called Crowd
[8:33] Strike had a little oopsie that caused
[8:36] millions and millions of computers to
[8:38] blue screen. Now, it turns out that
[8:40] Crowd Strike was quite popular with many
[8:42] of the big companies that fly airplanes
[8:44] all over the place. These are called
[8:47] airlines. One of those airlines had to
[8:49] cancel more than 7,000 airline trips,
[8:51] and it took them almost a week to fix
[8:53] their computers the oldfashioned way,
[8:55] and it cost them millions of gold coins.
[8:58] But other smarter airlines were using
[9:00] Intel V Pro and got computers back up
[9:02] and running in just one day, and they
[9:05] hardly had to cancel any trips at all.
[9:07] Now, why don't we listen quietly and let
[9:10] Mr. Lionus show us all how it works?
[9:15] Let's take a look at how VRO Fleet
[9:17] Services gives us total control over our
[9:19] enrolled PCs, even if the OS is
[9:21] hopelessly broken and blue screening all
[9:23] over the place. And the coolest part is
[9:25] it's built into every VPro platform
[9:27] device for free. VPro Fleet.intel.com.
[9:31] All right, we've got both of these set
[9:33] up. This is going to be our management
[9:35] device, and this is going to be
[9:37] Grandma's computer with her brownie
[9:39] recipe. Let's see if Lionus can figure
[9:41] this out without ever having used VRO
[9:43] before. All right, continue to log in or
[9:46] sign up. Oh, I need to use yours. Oh,
[9:48] look at that. Jordan block. Second
[9:51] Jordan block. Thank you for that, Intel.
[9:53] Nice. From here, all I got to do is go
[9:55] to my endpoint groups. And then I'm just
[9:58] going to grab this pairing token file,
[10:00] which let's pop this in here. Now, we
[10:02] just run the fleet installer. Hey, there
[10:05] we go. There it is. Desktop
[10:09] 00
[10:11] I5 A71. What a name.
[10:13] >> That's what I call my grandma.
[10:15] >> Dear sweet.
[10:18] >> You can rename it there if you choose
[10:20] to.
[10:21] >> I already did.
[10:22] >> All right,
[10:22] >> there it is. And now all we got to do is
[10:25] click here to manage it. And what's
[10:28] super cool about this is no matter what
[10:31] kind of state the machine is in, in
[10:33] fact, we can see exactly what state it's
[10:35] in. It's powered on. Siri connected, no
[10:37] matter what state it's in, we can do
[10:39] anything we need to do, whether that's
[10:41] in the OS or even getting direct remote
[10:44] control of the BIOS. So, if your user
[10:47] just
[10:49] screws something up, you know what's
[10:50] funny is my grandparents called me
[10:52] today. They were having issues with
[10:54] their TV. Ivonne had to go all the way
[10:55] down there because I was at work. She
[10:57] had the day off. A book had fallen off a
[11:00] shelf and was sitting in front of the IR
[11:01] receiver. Like that's that's just the
[11:04] kind of stuff that you know happens. And
[11:06] the more that you are set up to remote
[11:08] manage, the less you have to go and deal
[11:13] with it in person, which is not to say
[11:15] that you should never, you know, visit
[11:17] your grandparents. You should. It's just
[11:19] to say that, you know, make it about the
[11:21] visit. Don't make it about fixing their
[11:23] computer. That's pretty cool. Look at
[11:27] that. Key combinations and everything.
[11:30] So this is it. This is built right in.
[11:32] There's no subscriptions or changing
[11:34] software terms. Team viewer, excuse me.
[11:38] I had something unethical got in my
[11:40] throat. Just easy remote access. Thanks
[11:43] for the recipe, Grandma. It's worth
[11:44] noting that aside from just connecting
[11:46] remotely, there are certain things that
[11:48] if I try to do them on the user's
[11:49] computer, it's going to pop up a code as
[11:52] well. And just like before, it won't be
[11:54] captured by any kind of screen
[11:55] recording. The exact functions available
[11:57] can actually be customized by the
[11:58] manufacturer, by the way. And Samsung is
[12:00] actually going to be the first to give
[12:02] us a couple of nice extras like remote
[12:04] secure erase and remote one-click
[12:07] recovery. Now, obviously for a platform
[12:09] like this, security is kind of like all
[12:12] three of the top three priorities. So,
[12:14] those features are still being
[12:15] thoroughly tested, but are expected to
[12:17] release soon TM. If these sturdy Galaxy
[12:20] Book 6 Enterprise Edition machines seem
[12:22] like a good fit for your business or for
[12:23] your family, guys, check out the links
[12:25] in the video description. Thanks Samsung
[12:27] for sponsoring this video. This is
[12:28] actually pretty fun opportunity to get
[12:30] to take a look at uh Intel Vro. I
[12:32] haven't played around with it in a very
[12:34] long time and it has matured a lot. Very
[12:38] cool. If you like this video, I don't
[12:40] know, something else Samsung, maybe
[12:41] check out our S26 video over on our
[12:43] short circuit channel.
[12:47] Farewell grandma's brownie
