It’s actually a composite combining two images — one taken in the morning and the other in the early evening.

The ongoing memory crisis has rippled past smartphones and is now affecting laptops. Samsung’s Galaxy Book 6 Pro (16-inch), for instance, starts at KRW 3.51 million (about $2,373) in the company’s home market, which is around 25% higher than the same variant of the Galaxy Book 5 Pro, which was launched at KRW 2.80 million ($1,749 for an equivalent variant).
