Samsung Galaxy Book5 at ₹77,990: A worthy alternative to Apple MacBook Air?
For those tempted by Apple’s MacBook Air but reluctant to spend beyond ₹1 lakh, Samsung has unveiled a more accessible option. The new Galaxy Book5 is now the brand’s most affordable AI-powered laptop in India, blending premium features with a friendlier price tag.
Samsung Galaxy Book5 display and battery
The Galaxy Book5 is equipped with a 15.6-inch full HD anti-glare display, designed to minimise reflections for comfortable viewing. Backed by a 61.2Wh battery, Samsung claims the laptop can deliver up to 19 hours of video playback, outlasting many rivals in its segment.
