I can securely erase this computer from anywhere!

[00:00] If I asked you to name the three brands

[00:02] that IT departments go to when shopping

[00:04] for corporate PC laptops, I bet just

[00:06] about anyone watching this video could

[00:08] do it. But Samsung wants to change that.

[00:11] The goal of the Galaxy Book 6 Enterprise

[00:13] Edition with Intel Vro technology is no

[00:16] compromises on performance, security,

[00:18] design, manageability, or character

[00:21] count. And they sponsored this video

[00:23] where we're going to be showing it off.

[00:24] Now, I could be lazy and say, "Well,

[00:27] they took everything that was great

[00:28] about their consumer line of Galaxy

[00:30] Books, added some enterprisegrade

[00:32] refinements, and just sent it." But some

[00:34] of these enterprisegrade refinements

[00:37] merit additional discussion and can

[00:38] actually be useful outside of the

[00:41] enterprise as well. Intel's Vro remote

[00:43] management is easier than ever and now

[00:45] works without any infrastructure

[00:47] commitment, making it actually a great

[00:49] solution for the family IT guy. We're

[00:51] going to take a look at that and a

[00:53] closer look at the Galaxy Book 6

[00:55] Enterprise Edition.

[00:57] Now,

[01:06] let's start with a physical overview.

[01:08] The Enterprise Edition gets a subtle

[01:10] color change, kind of like the

[01:12] difference between gray with an A and

[01:14] gray with an E. hard to notice, but what

[01:16] I do notice is the generous dongle-free

[01:19] connectivity on both sides of the unit.

[01:22] The VPro platform models, like the ones

[01:24] that I've got here, get full-sized

[01:26] gigabit Ethernet, one of those cute

[01:28] little folding hinged ones, HDMI 1.4 and

[01:31] dual Thunderbolt 4 on the left side with

[01:33] a pair of 5 GB USBA ports, a universal

[01:36] audio jack, and a cheeky little micro SD

[01:38] reader right there over on the right.

[01:41] The IT department is surely going to

[01:43] love not having to give out a bunch of

[01:44] easy to lose adapters. Now, before I

[01:46] even boot this up, there is one more

[01:48] connector that I want to show you guys

[01:51] using my precision screwdriver kit in

[01:53] the exclusive float plane colorway,

[01:54] ltstore.com.

[01:56] All right, let's pop these feet off.

[01:58] It's not my preference to have screws

[02:00] hidden under feet. Do I just pry them

[02:01] off?

[02:02] >> They'll pop off easy. Oh, okay. Oh, so

[02:04] they do. Oh, cool. They're not adhesive.

[02:06] You know what? All is forgiven, Samsung.

[02:09] Good job. And I can just get them off

[02:10] with my fingers. I I have not actually

[02:12] seen that before. All right. All right,

[02:15] Samsung. I mean, framework investment

[02:17] disclosure.

[02:18] >> Yeah. Why am I having so much trouble?

[02:20] There it goes.

[02:22] There we go. Connector, or should I say

[02:26] connectors?

[02:28] Because Samsung has included two user

[02:30] accessible M.2 slots for storage. Both

[02:33] of them are PCIe Gen 4x4 and support

[02:35] drives up to 1 TB with our sample unit

[02:38] having a 512 gig NVME in the primary

[02:40] 80mm slot. Oh, how awkward would it be

[02:43] if it was not Samsung? It is Samsung.

[02:45] Okayoo, that's cool. And the secondary

[02:48] 30 mm slot ships empty, which is great

[02:51] for a quick upgrade. Now, they say they

[02:53] support up to 1 TB, but I actually see

[02:55] no real reason why you couldn't put a

[02:57] bigger one in in the future, but that's

[02:59] just not what it's certified for. As for

[03:02] RAM, unfortunately, that is not user

[03:05] replaceable or upgradeable. It's not

[03:07] really a surprise in 2026. It's just one

[03:09] of those things where you might want to

[03:10] make sure that you proactively whine at

[03:12] it about how much RAM you're going to

[03:14] need in the future because you won't be

[03:16] adding any after the fact. Since we're

[03:19] in here, there are a few different

[03:20] configurations available, all with

[03:22] series 3 Intel Core Ultra processors. I

[03:24] like the 14inch model with the Core

[03:26] Ultra 5 355 or the Ultra 7 365 because

[03:30] the Vro platform brings benefits beyond

[03:32] just the better hardware specs. There

[03:34] are nonVRO options in both 14 and 16in

[03:38] if you just can't live without your

[03:39] number pad, but you're going to be

[03:40] giving up Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and

[03:42] Thunderbolt 4 along with, of course,

[03:44] Vro. Now, let's get this thing back

[03:46] together and fire it up. It actually

[03:48] kind of makes sense that the clips are

[03:50] so robust if they only have the four

[03:52] screws. Yeah.

[03:53] >> Still, I would have preferred. They just

[03:54] have more screw holes in the bottom.

[03:55] >> You didn't put the screws in.

[03:57] >> Oh, balls. You know what? I'm not going

[03:59] to be the last person to make that

[04:00] mistake.

[04:01] >> Oh, there's different size feet, by the

[04:02] way.

[04:03] >> The tall ones are at the back.

[04:04] >> Yeah.

[04:04] >> Got it. That makes sense, actually. Just

[04:06] like photographs.

[04:07] >> And they actually kind of fight you if

[04:08] you put them in the wrong spot. So,

[04:09] >> it it's actually quite quite good. Um,

[04:12] it did not allow me to put the wrong one

[04:14] in the wrong place. I should get a

[04:16] Samsung NOX screen here. There it is.

[04:18] Nox is Samsung's embedded security chip.

[04:20] I'll be the first to admit I don't have

[04:22] a ton of hands-on experience with it,

[04:23] but basically it's meant to help with

[04:25] corporate security and fleet management.

[04:27] We're going to stick a link down below

[04:28] if you want to learn more about Samsung

[04:30] Knox. What I do have experience with is

[04:33] bloated laptop software, and Samsung

[04:36] claims I won't see any of that on these

[04:39] enterprise models. They even go as far

[04:41] as to call it a clean OS. So, let's have

[04:43] a look at what that looks like in

[04:45] practice. Nothing unexpected in the

[04:47] system tray. Yep. I mean, one clue is

[04:51] there. Microsoft's going to Microsoft,

[04:53] right? Teams again, Microsoft color

[04:55] engine. The display profile that

[04:57] actually I I like to see this Dolby

[04:59] stuff is part of Windows. Intel drivers,

[05:02] OBS, again, we put on there, realtech

[05:04] audio drivers, Samsung settings, and

[05:07] that is basically it. As for the start

[05:10] menu, the only thing that looks a miss

[05:13] here is Samsung settings, but we were

[05:16] actually pretty impressed by this. Um,

[05:20] you don't need to make an account or

[05:21] click through a license or do any

[05:23] nonsense. And kind of everything you

[05:26] need is in here. Connections,

[05:29] connected devices, sound, notifications.

[05:32] Oh, okay. Interesting. It just pops up

[05:36] the Windows notification settings.

[05:38] >> That's the only one that does it. The

[05:39] rest of them are all controlled in the

[05:40] app though

[05:41] >> huh? Okay. You can play around with the

[05:44] color temperature of your display,

[05:46] adjust your HDR. I can adjust the

[05:47] timeout on my keyboard backlight. That's

[05:49] actually really nice. Sometimes when I'm

[05:51] like sitting and thinking, you know, I'm

[05:53] on a flight or something like that. I

[05:54] don't want it to be like constantly

[05:56] turning off and like flashing on and off

[05:58] at me while I'm while I'm working. Set

[05:59] it to like 3 minutes or 5 minutes. Auto

[06:02] boot.

[06:04] Start up when lit open. They they don't

[06:05] mean sleep. They mean boot.

[06:07] >> Boots. Yeah. Oh, that's pretty cool.

[06:09] Have you seen that before?

[06:10] >> Not that I'm aware of.

[06:11] >> That's That's pretty cool. Lock camera

[06:13] on and off. Not a physical cover. I

[06:15] really like this. This is a really

[06:17] important feature. Battery protection.

[06:19] Uh I generally like to set it at around

[06:21] 80% if I don't really need all of the

[06:24] battery life that my device has to

[06:25] offer. Uh it really helps maintain the

[06:28] longevity of your battery. It's funny.

[06:30] Samsung did what Microsoft took 15 years

[06:33] to do. When did Windows 8 come out

[06:34] again? They went and they consolidated

[06:36] all your settings in one place and with

[06:38] basically one interface. Coming back up

[06:40] to connected devices, this is something

[06:42] that Samsung's calling their Galaxy

[06:44] connected experience. So you can do

[06:46] things, for example, like set up a

[06:49] second screen if you have a Galaxy

[06:52] tablet. Get second screen app. They

[06:54] could have preloaded that. Credit to

[06:56] Samsung, they didn't. I tip my cap to

[06:58] you. Well, it's not really a cap, but

[07:00] really is very clean. All we have is the

[07:02] Samsung settings app. That honestly

[07:05] seems fine and pretty light. Skip

[07:07] signin. I can just not always appreciate

[07:10] that option. Even if I might normally

[07:13] sign in. Searching for nearby tablets.

[07:15] Your Tab 11 Ultra. Oh, okay. Is

[07:17] connected to your Galaxy S26. What are

[07:19] the odds this just works? Do I need to

[07:21] have a second screen app on here, you

[07:23] think? Oh, second screen.

[07:25] >> Let's go, boys.

[07:32] Very cool. Once you know how to do it,

[07:35] that easy and no wires. Samsung is also

[07:38] streamlining the work of the IT

[07:40] department, offering Galaxy Book

[07:41] configuration services, which basically

[07:44] preconfigures the systems from the

[07:46] factory with things like custom OS

[07:48] imaging, BIOS settings, custom BIOS

[07:51] logos, and even asset tagging. None of

[07:54] that's like crazy, but those little time

[07:56] savers add up to a big time savings when

[07:59] you're preparing a hundred or even

[08:01] thousands of machines for deployment.

[08:02] Once you're deployed, though, you still

[08:04] need to support your users, whether

[08:06] that's the art department down the hall

[08:07] or your dear old granny who keeps the

[08:09] recipes to her award-winning quadruple

[08:11] chocolate brownies on her laptop so she

[08:13] won't forget it. And that is where the

[08:14] Intel Vro platform is a total game

[08:16] changer. If you're in it, you probably

[08:19] already know all about Vro. In fact, you

[08:22] might be using it to manage a system

[08:23] right now. But bear with me here as I

[08:26] give just one example of what it can do

[08:28] for everyone else. Just a couple summers

[08:30] back, a security platform called Crowd

[08:33] Strike had a little oopsie that caused

[08:36] millions and millions of computers to

[08:38] blue screen. Now, it turns out that

[08:40] Crowd Strike was quite popular with many

[08:42] of the big companies that fly airplanes

[08:44] all over the place. These are called

[08:47] airlines. One of those airlines had to

[08:49] cancel more than 7,000 airline trips,

[08:51] and it took them almost a week to fix

[08:53] their computers the oldfashioned way,

[08:55] and it cost them millions of gold coins.

[08:58] But other smarter airlines were using

[09:00] Intel V Pro and got computers back up

[09:02] and running in just one day, and they

[09:05] hardly had to cancel any trips at all.

[09:07] Now, why don't we listen quietly and let

[09:10] Mr. Lionus show us all how it works?

[09:15] Let's take a look at how VRO Fleet

[09:17] Services gives us total control over our

[09:19] enrolled PCs, even if the OS is

[09:21] hopelessly broken and blue screening all

[09:23] over the place. And the coolest part is

[09:25] it's built into every VPro platform

[09:27] device for free. VPro Fleet.intel.com.

[09:31] All right, we've got both of these set

[09:33] up. This is going to be our management

[09:35] device, and this is going to be

[09:37] Grandma's computer with her brownie

[09:39] recipe. Let's see if Lionus can figure

[09:41] this out without ever having used VRO

[09:43] before. All right, continue to log in or

[09:46] sign up. Oh, I need to use yours. Oh,

[09:48] look at that. Jordan block. Second

[09:51] Jordan block. Thank you for that, Intel.

[09:53] Nice. From here, all I got to do is go

[09:55] to my endpoint groups. And then I'm just

[09:58] 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
