Dude, I’m American and this is the most refreshing, non-swearing/swearing, relaxed, realistic verbiage I’ve heard in forever. Thumbs up for being down-to-earth and just giving the points that matter. Solid review.
@@marksoftimecoz they are blinded with Apple products, they do not see goods in other brand’s products. Always thinking Apple is the best in the world and has no imperfections 😂😂😂
They probably uses the old chassis, maybe a new chassis will come next year and it may unlock new features like a haptic trackpad and better speakers, maybe IR tech (Windows Hello), but hey it's just a guessing game at this point.
I can read everything your saying about this laptop and or look at any other vid, I'd like to see more negatives of what I'd be getting with this laptop. Just be more raw with people. This is what people are ultimately looking for
5:23 This is wrong. It is not passive and charges inductively when aligned with its magnets on the back of the display. Same goes for all other sPens and this is one of the reasons why they do not work if used on all devices but only with those that support the sPen.
Is it a significant upgrade over 4 pro 360? The official battery results states 25 hours video runtime compared to 21 hours of last generation. I highly doubt the stats because lunar lake was supposed to be highest battery efficient Processor in the industry leaving behind the m3 macbook pro.
My only real concern is that comically oversized trackpad and palm rejection issues. That has been the Achilles heel of the previous 16" Samsung laptops like GB4P and Edge... The initial high price is typical of Samsung but not of a concern since they usually drop by about $500 in a few weeks after a release so we are really looking at about a $1,200 laptop.
I bought the galaxy book 4 pro mainly from a review from this guy. A lot more of the comments are picking up on how this feels more like a sponsored review instead of your opinion and theres ever no real breakdown. The galaxy book 4 pro is not worth full price
@@MrR4ge89 my one dude? I'm not a reviewer. I'm typing from this laptop now, but where do I begin. Not suitable for gaming unless your playing league of legends - have to play pc build sim on windowed mode with the lowest settings to get it to run. Bought this in april, then maybe 2 weeks later this is heavily discounted and they release the edge version which is way better (check the internet for comparisons)
dont know why they refuse to reduce the size of the bottom bezel, they can easily do it and they will do it eventually but its taking wayy too long, considering the Dell XPS 2-in-1 had a bezeless design way back in 2019
Last month, I bought the out going Galaxy Book3 360 Core i7 16GB ram, 512GB SSD, 13.3" AMOLED touch screen, for £799 from John Lewis. At the time I was looking at getting a Galaxy Tab, but the Book3 360 does most of the things the Tab S can do without having to fork out for the keyboard cover. Chris. you know the stylus can magnetised to the upper rear of the screen?
I have a DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and and my Samsung Book 3 360 and my S23 Ultra can play HEVC video files from the Action cam. My Acer Nitro running Windows 11, needs HEVC extension at 79p, or converted to standard MP4 using Format Factory or Handbrake. That could be upto an hour converting files!
I wanted to buy this but I have read several experiences where the screen cracked. I hope this won't be the case with this new model. RAM is also too low so I went for a Dell instead with 32GB and cheaper than this.
@@preritgupta6512 I think the larger models are more affected. I have the smaller model, and the smaller size is less stressed. Also the hinges are a similar size to the larger models and closer together. That means there is bending force.
I like this, a lot. And solid review. Thank you. A question. I plan to get the new Galaxy S25 Ultra smart phone early 2025, and since I need a new laptop too, I thought instead of replacing my old Dell XPS 17 with the new XPS 16, I'd get one of these new Book5's. Do you know, will there be a Book5 Ultra, and how might that compare to this Book5 Pro 360? Thanks.
7:20 But isn't the copilot just a web app, i.e. like a browser tab. Every processing is done on the server, how would that be related to high performance......?
Which then easily unmagnets if bumped or shifted qucik, his knock was that there isn't a storage space for the pen, like on the phones. This would be preferable for someone who plans on taking this out and about with the pen
Are there any Samsung labtops that have a centered trackpad? I played around with this one and the Ultra (4?) at the store the other day and I felt the same way .. beautiful look but omg so annoying when typing!
Aint the same as having a compartment for it, that's why he says he's gonna lose it, it should really be like the phones with an integrated slot for the pen (but then they would have to make the pen smaller to fit so maybe that would make people dislike it), I myself do not trust taking the pen with me when I leave due to the poor design choice. (And from prior experience with their tablets with the same poor choice of design)
Good review, but 16GB RAM?? No way... And definitely not for such a premium price! We're almost in the year 2025! 32GB RAM should already be the standard in all "Pro" laptops! 16GB RAM isn't "Pro", bro.
Base m3 outperforms lunar lake in like every metric. So if you want more power, MacBook Pro would be the way to go. But if you wanna do light gaming, a lunar lake laptop is good
brother if you want a budget laptop buy a older laptop from a previous years that high end second hand . its so dumb to buy a new budget laptop . i just bought a macbook pro m1 pro 16inch for £880
They used to be about £400-600 cheaper with base 8GB/256GB specs. But with creators complaining about cheaper, lower configuration options, we now see a 16GB minimum and prices rising substantially to compensate for the loss in sales. Sadly, those whining about 8GB models forgot the unintentional consequences and have priced millions of people out of the premium ultrabook market.
2:47...Gently rest your digit on the power button & in less than a second you're into your laptop...Sounds like my wife...Especially with that NFL linebacker that just moved in next door last week.
The design team needs a slap. Samsung has really dropped innovation and supplying what their customers need. If your going to copy apple, at least produce something far better, not a something lower.
Hey tech spurt. Would you please send me one of your android phones in kenya please. Mine got stolen after watching you review on it. It was a tecno camon 30. I'd really appreciate it.
let's be real for a sec, these reviews feel more like sponsored ads than actual analysis. I get it, gotta pay the bills, but it's hard to take your recommendations seriously when they're always for the brand that's backing the video. Maybe mix in some honest, unsponsored takes?
I agree but I have a few USB-C hubs which have SD/Micro SD, HDMI, standard USB, and USB-C with power delivery. They are cheap too. I have the Book 3 360 13.3" i7 version, so could understand the space restriction, but the larger models with the extra space!
They really couldn't get that bottom bezel smaller than an inch? Well, then they should have made it not an identical color to the screen. It looks like the movies are playing uncentered and thats distracting. If they were going to add bezel anyway, do it at the top so they could have a decent camera. And its so thin for no reason, so theres no spot for ports and stylus. Typical bone-headed Samsung design decisions on an otherwise great device.

It seems that the laptop is suitable for work and even for taking to university because it seems light and pretty.
For things that are not too demanding, it is very good, but always try to use Legal Office so that you do not have problems in the future.
I learned that the hard way haha but I learned and that's why I always get my office from BNH Software to avoid headaches
Loving the Dandadan background 🤘🏻
Still can't get the theme song out of my brain
That's why I watched this video
Do you know where to get it?
Samsung circle to search 🫡
alternative: Dandadan, Key Art, Momo (Dandadan)
Love the humor, you are a consummate entertainer. I've got the Book 5 and I love it. The battery life is amazing and the performance is very good.
You lost me on 1.600 £😅
Still 1000 euro cheaper than the macbooks, crazy money
Paid that for a phone 😅
😹😹💔👌.
What do you expect a good laptop to be priced? Less than a good phone or tablet? Grow up
@@jamescassar5348Oh come off it. You can get a very good laptop for vastly less than that. Don't be absurd.
Hey, no haptic trackpad AGAIN, wow
Right?! I feel these new Core Ultra V2 laptops would be literally perfect with a haptic trackpad
They probably uses the old chassis, maybe a new chassis will come next year and it may unlock new features like a haptic trackpad and better speakers, maybe IR tech (Windows Hello), but hey it's just a guessing game at this point.
1:14 Dandadan wallpaper let's gooo!
Do you know where to get it?
I always just stache the stylus on the backside of the lid, on the magnets.
Wow what's that Cowboy Bebop thing on your wall there Tech ? I love it

Yeah the other battery life was basically a lie and this one is much closer to accurate for local video

If you look at their website there is new precise trackpad. Subdivided palm rejection reduces the chance of accidental clicks.

Umm.....can I know when this is launching in India ?? Cause I need to buy a laptop within a month or so...
From where did you got that dandadan wallpaper, it looks sick
Id buy this in a heartbeat if they did a 13" version. But then they want to sell tabs also
dont know why they refuse to reduce the size of the bottom bezel, they can easily do it and they will do it eventually but its taking wayy too long, considering the Dell XPS 2-in-1 had a bezeless design way back in 2019
Will they release a 14" version of the 5 pro 360?
Don't forget that quickshare works on any Windows PC with any Android phone
Its nearby share there

Will definitely buying this as I work in a tattoo studio so very ideal
Please do a side by side review with Book Edge 4 16 inch
Why aren't all Samsung products, SPen full featured products
Well, because it's an "S" pen, thus available only for "S" series, which is the high end of samsung's products
ive never pressed a video faster
7:20 But isn't the copilot just a web app, i.e. like a browser tab. Every processing is done on the server, how would that be related to high performance......?
Compared to the galaxy book 4 edge?
Book 5 already? 4 was released less than a year ago?
Last year
Did they drop the double SSD slot feature? Or does it still have it?
It is a very very goody feature! :D
They did
1:03...Doesn't pick up smudges? Nice. But, how does it handle Great Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts😂
Love this channel
for the same price, is there a different laptop that you would recommend.
good review
The stylus magnets to the back of the laptop
Which then easily unmagnets if bumped or shifted qucik, his knock was that there isn't a storage space for the pen, like on the phones. This would be preferable for someone who plans on taking this out and about with the pen
Thanks, Chris. Too bad they insist on an off-center trackpad, a huge unsightly chin and a clipless pen. No-buy for me.
Are there any Samsung labtops that have a centered trackpad? I played around with this one and the Ultra (4?) at the store the other day and I felt the same way .. beautiful look but omg so annoying when typing!
I'm buying a scar 16 and no one can change my mind
Do a comparison with the m4 MacBook pro
You can stash it at the rear sides like the galaxy tab 5:50
Bro from where do u get all these cool wallpapers??
In asking this myself, you found tgem
I want a arm chip now.
what is the name of that movie where the little boy is fighing that man, it looks cool

Attachu it to the laptop

Same.
Would this be good for architectural design work?
hey why is the book 5 pro cheaper than the book 4 pro ?
5:45 store thestylus is difficult even with the tab didn’t like where the charging line was ended up forgetting it at a different apartment
There's a magnetic spot on the lid for the pen, isn't there?
Yes there is, plus a couple more areas by the track pad. When I use my Book 3 360 13.3", I move the S-Pen from the lid to that area I mentioned.
Can you get 5G network with this laptop?
Good review, but 16GB RAM??
No way... And definitely not for such a premium price!
We're almost in the year 2025!

16GB RAM isn't "Pro", bro.
Compare the battery life to macbook pro please
Would you say that the color is the same as the book4 pro moonstone gray?
12 - 14 " ?
Should I choose this over macbook pro?
Base m3 outperforms lunar lake in like every metric. So if you want more power, MacBook Pro would be the way to go. But if you wanna do light gaming, a lunar lake laptop is good
It depends on whether you need the 360-degree hinge and pen support. If you do not, the Macbook beats this in every way you can.
Hi.. Can I know where you get this all awesome anime wallpaper please
When did this come out? They just launched book 4.

Why don't they make budget laptops too?

Is it more design for media/edit or gaming?
Media editing for sure, even now your only using something like 1/3rd of the screens actual resolution and not even getting a solid 60fps.
Does the laptop support 5G network?
Hotspot

Hey tech spurt vivo is releasing x200 pro and x200 pro mini
Honestly, this Samsung webcam is bad. Such a beautiful notebook, with a web and little RAM, is discouraging.
With they would make a non reflective screen like their phones.
webcam looks awful, or?
