Loving my 14 inch so far. I went Samsung out of the first batch of snapdragon laptops purely on basis of I have a Samsung phone so seemed to make sense. I also love the design. Battery looks good for 10+ hours from a charge. Performance is great and screen is probably the best I've ever seen. Speakers on my s24 ultra are better though which is a bit disappointing. Edit. Just discovered the Dolby Atmos settings which massively improved the speaker output.
I was thinking of using this as my daily, most likely watching a nine, youtube videos and trading view. Would you recommend this, is it strong enough ?
I got mine in 28. June and battery does not even last 6 hours even if I only watch videos, Could it be a hardware problem? Is it possible that I have missed some update?
Sakitech Very Nice just reading up on all of this and what else is going to be available soon.So appreciate all the wonderful people I follow.Very Nicely Done.💯✌️
The Galaxy Book Pro, released on February 25, 2024, now features a Snapdragon chip. The Samsung settings and almost all other features remain the same. I bought the Galaxy Book Pro 16 with an Intel Core Ultra 7, 155H processor. I want a comparison between these two laptops with different chips.
My CPU in my surface book 2 died and now I can't risk another surface regardless of how it looks. Which is better ? The book 4 edge or the book 4 ultra ? I have the s23 ultra , Samsung TV, ans Samsung Tab S8 for my ecosystem ?
If you play games I would stick with the Intel GB4 Ultra. All of your phones, Smart Samsung TV, and S8 will work well with either via Samsung's Galaxy Connected Ecosystem features like Multi-control, Quick Share, Tablet as a Wireless Second Screen, etc.
@@morm2173no. Basically if you play games a lot, your cpu will constantly be very hot which will shorten its lifespan. You can only play games on intel and AMD chips so you can’t game on galaxy book 4 edge or new surface laptops But again as I said, for gaming you DO NOT want a thin laptop because it will have small fans and will keep the cpu much warmer and will kill it much earlier. For gaming, if you want something long lasting, get a gaming laptop. Mine is 7 years old and is still running smooth and strong. Nothing beats gaming laptops in performance or longevity
@@morm2173 If you play games and have the budget for the Ultra get that, it would be a great addition to your ecosystem and will get an Apple ecosystem like experience with all your Samsung devices.
An excellent overview. Thank you Saki. You mentioned the eco system features. If you find time, could you confirm the availability of Multi control, please. I planned to get one, but my next notebook must have at least 32 GB RAM. No idea why Samsung is not offering this option. I also wait to see whether someone can confirm whether SuperDisplay can be used under Windows on ARM. Until then, I'll stick to Galaxy Book2 Pro 360.
Loving my 14 inch. Thought I was tripping with the battery but realized I downloaded the x86 version of firefox and the emulation was killin my battery and performance. Now it runs like butter. Hoping they add gpt 4o soon to the copilot assistant because right now its not doing so hot on anything I;ve asked it edit: what tablet are you using for that wireless second display?
Lenovo model gives more option and is a bit cheaper. I'll probably wait maybe 6 months and see how software developers adapt. If they treat this like Apple Silicon. I'm in. I have M2 mini, Linux server, and I'm looking forward to a laptop. I don't want a duplicate of what I have so I'm giving Windows ARM a chance. Someone has too, or else this won't move lol. I have money to spend anyway.
It won't get the same threat as the Macbook, Apple completly finished the x86 CPU when they launched the M1, so developers who wanted to stay on Mac had no chose, they needed to rework their app to ARM. The biggest problem with Windows is just splited to 2 parts, and the x86 is still the bigger market share.. why would any developer to work for the 2% of the users if with the same work they can reach 98% of the users? (49x more potential profit, nobody choose the low market share device to lower their own earning..)
That same windows graphic? Really? Makes you feel like you are buying the exact same laptop, over and over again. Just sell the hardware and go back to the original snapdragon for the design. I've run the full Edraw suite on my win arm laptop. It only has 8 gbs of ram. So 16 should be enough but no telling what they have programmed into that processor. Tech companies talk out of both sides of their mouths and rarely tell the truth.
I purchased one of these the other day, and outside of the Processor, this device is not up to Samsungs quality. Simple things like loose rear foot pads, to a cursor that seems to disappear off the right side of the screen, like they put a screen that was to large in the frame, its just not up to snuff or the same quality of their phones. Lastly, the BLOAT is ridiculous. You see it on the phones but alot of that software is "useable" or makes sense. Not on Windows though. Maybe second or third gen of these we may see that fit and finish. I did end up with another unit from a different manufacturer and it has a better screen and a more solid build.
I have a Samsung phone and tablet so the "bloat" if you are talking about Samsung apps is exactly why I would like to buy a samsung laptop as it would offer great integration with my Samsung apps on my phone and tablet. It is literally no different than Macbooks having several Apple exclusive apps preinstalled really don't understand why people don't realize that. Sure it is windows but it is first and foremost a Samsung device they have all the rights to put their apps on it you just have to know what you are getting yourself into.
Screen breaking issues ... Seriously ... one isolated incident doesn't resonate or ring the alarm to the masses. Simply put, just say you do not need to purchase a laptop at this present moment in time.
Strange. I commented back but it was removed I guess. Maybe links to website aren't allowed. I recommend reading news article from guardian few days ago. The title is "Is my Samsung laptop not all it’s cracked up to be?" from Wed 12 Jun 2024 08.00 CEST. It's about this issue, not just one isolated incident and I was about to buy Samsung laptop until I read about that in guardian. Now I wait Samsung's public statement about this issue.
This laptop is for No one, It’s too expensive for casual consumers and it’s not performant enough for gamers or video editors or for most serious work because it has a shitty graphics card!
Want a comparison video about m3 air vs galaxybook 4 edge vs surface laptop 7 both in 16gb and 512gb ssd on high workflow like programming and video editing also music production.plz make a video about it❤❤❤
As impressive as this laptop is, I find it funny that it has an SD Card slot storage, but everyone still requests that they put it back in their phones.
The whole reason for the ARM push is the same performance even from battery.. if you still need to do as the current laptop and performing about similar like your current laptop (expecr the tons of error, when failed the x86 to ARM transition..) than what is the point to buy it? Most of us choose a laptop because they wanted a mobile device, not an easy to move desktop...
Not sleek enough, and that neuro link chip is a turn off. I was looking at it for the hardware. The software is genisys is skynet. I have the original snapdragon Book S and still daily drive it. The best laptop Samsung ever made. Only thing I didn't like was the keyboard. But at least I control it. If the body on that one looked like the body on the original I would have bought it, blew the warranty and put linux on it.
Finally someone who uses the laptop not giving us endless numbers
Exactly my thought. A video that shows the laptop itself and the features not some fools making benchmark tests with totally wrong settings.
srsly
Its been out for two days 😂
I'm sold!

@bokuwatobi766 check if you have a non ARM native apps running in the background.
Galaxy book edge 🔥🔥💨💨
I love your video reviewing product. You helped me make me decision thank yoj
I got mine in 28. June and battery does not even last 6 hours even if I only watch videos, Could it be a hardware problem? Is it possible that I have missed some update?
Compared to book 4 pro 360(16 inch) does battery last longer?
yes
Sakitech Very Nice just reading up on all of this and what else is going to be available soon.So appreciate all the wonderful people I follow.Very Nicely Done.💯✌️
I would love to see a GB4 pro vs Edge video
I can't transfer my data from my old laptop to book edge. Galaxy book smart switch isn't working

Is this good for Affinity/Illustrator?
Annoys me the track pad isn't centre is it much of an issue?
Great review. Which do you think is a better purchase. The samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge or the asus zenbook Duo( 2024)?
Any update on battery life with normal usage, non benchmarks?
This is definitely a great punch to the gut of Intel and AMD may also be feeling the heat
If you have more than one Samsung tablet can you extend the display more than once? Also, does the s pen work on the tablet while in this mode?
X Elite 84? Only 16GB memory? USB A port? BT 5.2?
When will galaxy book 4 edge launch in India..?

Review on Galaxy book 4 pro 360 vs Galaxy Book 4 Edge Please 😊
can someone tell us about the fan noise? does it whining coil?
why only 16 gb of ram???

@@bokuwatobi766 no something seems wrong with those numbers. Even playing world of Warcraft I get those numbers
What were they thinking not giving these things good graphics cards?????
Snapdragon would not be playing nice with AMD or Nvidia GPUs.
Snapdragon X ❤❤
would this be a good option to edit video with Davinci resolve?
Yes, DaVinci is specifically optimized for it.
Watching from my Galaxy book 2pro laptop...
I'm really disappointed in the eUFS storage.

I'd like too hear about it either

Which one did you end up going with that you prefer?
I wholeheartedly disagree. The build feels awesome. And I’m a Mac user. Your unit must’ve been faulty
I’ve heard multiple reports of shoddy parts such as key caps as well. Gonna wait and see how this shakes out.
the cursor thing also happens on my Asus vivobook running on Intel 12th gen so I don't think that is a Samsung problem more of a windows thing

Yes, that's what it is meant for.
@@ajitpati9324 which one's better for coding - macbook or samsung book??
Does it has gpu support on OpenCl or directml? How about wsl? Does Qualcomm have rocm or Cuda library for their hexagon?

if you can open the laptop and replace the NVME ssd then the SD card slot is pointless and useless. Desktops don't have them.
Parece ser una opción diferente ante los tradicionales AMD / INTEL en un equipo portátil - móvil con un CPU Snapdragon X Élite con IA ...
How about a giveaway? That most definitely be appreciated
can you go to teardown? May I repaste the soc?
NOT ENOUGH PORTS
If you run benchmarks - please plug it in. I am watching a number of related videos on your unit & they are failing to plug the unit in.
Why? What’s the point of measuring the performance of a laptop plugged in?
The whole reason for the ARM push is the same performance even from battery.. if you still need to do as the current laptop and performing about similar like your current laptop (expecr the tons of error, when failed the x86 to ARM transition..) than what is the point to buy it? Most of us choose a laptop because they wanted a mobile device, not an easy to move desktop...
Bruh performance is this ame dawg
what about web cam!?
Good
Asus ROG laptop has left the video
nice
Main drawback. It is not 4k
We prefer Lenovo bussiness laptop only .
I am watching this on my $50 HP X360 touch screen laptop.

Not sleek enough, and that neuro link chip is a turn off. I was looking at it for the hardware. The software is genisys is skynet. I have the original snapdragon Book S and still daily drive it. The best laptop Samsung ever made. Only thing I didn't like was the keyboard. But at least I control it. If the body on that one looked like the body on the original I would have bought it, blew the warranty and put linux on it.
