I felt this laptop was really slow and underperforming for the price point and the hardware. I returned mine after 4 days, but all the reviews on the web are so positive! I thought maybe I was crazy and imagining the bad experience. Thank you for telling the truth and making me not feel like I was hallucinating :). It has a beautiful screen and great pen, and I love the 360, but the performance for this laptop is unforgivable, IMO.
Exactly. For that price point, it didn't make sense to keep it. Thank you for your comment. I should probably get back to RUclips now that the new job isn't stressing me out 😅
Just pre-ordered the Book 4 pro 360, got it with free buds fe, here in Canada! I was stuck between Book 4pro and Book 4pro 360.. Honestly I'm not a hardcore gamer or Video editing person
Congrats! Then you are good to go. Honestly it is beautiful! I bought the G15 couple of years ago and I had buyer's remorse for the last 2 years.. everytime I use the laptop, I'm reminded that the screen is not OLED rrrgh..(and that's a beast of a machine!). Ordered the Ultra on 18th (Canada) and waiting on it. Let me know your thoughts on the 360 pro when you receive it... Btw I learned from one of the commenters on my videos that ppl in the UK got the s9 FE tablet for free.. I was so happy with out free buds fe till I read that hehe.
@@mohamadelhout Exactly man! The S9 Fe is damn steal!Samsung has been little harsh this time lol! Btw i traded inn my Acer Predator Helios 300, which i got it in Aug 2019, they gave me a solid 425$! Book4pro 360, i got it for 1800$!
Hehe glad I'm not the only one thinking "wth Samsung"? You know what's funny? These laptops are not even available yet in the US. Last year they had better laptops (i9/rtx4070 wasn't even available in Canada) and they were even cheaper.. I'm thinking if they give a great offer in the US, I might return my laptop and ask the in-laws to buy me the better deal in the US shh 😉 🤫
Thank you for your comment:) I'm considering adding an outline to next videos, something that I don't see often with other videos. I'm already seeing better retention time than my other videos.. as you said, it's probably because saw from the get go what I'll be covering.
Great review! Little feedback: I enjoyed it but don't really like the background music that much tbh (or at least not that loud). I can't decide between buying the book 3 pro 14 with 8gb Ram (975€) or the new book 4 pro 14 with 16gb Ram (1700€). I don't really do very heavy work with it, but I want it to be futureproof...
I appreciate any feedback! Thank you.. I'll keep that in mind for next video :) You mentioned future proofing; I wouldn't get anything with less than 16GB of RAM.
What if you're looking to do mostly 1080p video editing and run some older games (like really old and certain emulators)? I'm at a loss for what to buy. My Samsung has served me well for over ten years but it's showing its age now. I trust the brand and that display is beautiful. Plus the keyboard with the numpad is similar to what I have now, though the oversized pad is not a plus. I mostly want a laptop for work, media consumption, and video editing though I don't expect to do much in 4k.
I have the s8 Ultra, which is comparable. You'd have to use Capcut or something else.. keep in mind that the tab is still an android system, so if you want to use Premiere Pro, that won't be a good option for you.
@luvadealme see if you can get your hands on S8U from your friends to test video editing.. if the power is enough, you can even find some good deals off FB marketplace... if it's laggy for you, then you might want the newer processor with more RAM. My S8U is more than enough for media consumption, teams calls, notes taking. Hope this helps! Let me know what you decide on.
Oh it's super light!! For a 16 inch laptop, it feels amazing.. and battery life was impressive as well. It's just because I need more graphics intensive needs that I had to return the laptop.
From the Ultra I see: AdobeRGB, P3, sRGB.. There is also Auto Mode which looks the best tbh. I can't comment on the 360 Pro since I returned it. Brightness for the 360 Pro from Samsung website: "The display has maximum brightness of 400 nits and can achieve peak brightness of 500 nits when displaying HDR content only, with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio." I never had to use max brightness so far. The display is gorgeous. Hope this helps.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I returned the laptop and got the Ultra, but I'd trust the performance of 2k video editing while lowering preview quality. Now if you tell me that you'd deal with few tracks of 2k editing, then I'd say: Please share with us your experience if you decide to get the laptop. 😇🫠
Bro do the battery life on galaxy book 4 pro 360 good more than the ultra ? And one more question I just want to using the laptop for programming writing code like this things is the galaxy book 4 pro 360 can do that without any problems Thank you ❤
I returned the 360 Pro already but from what I remember, the 360 Pro was lasting longer on a charge. The Ultra does come with a 140W charger so I'm not so worried about that. For programming, I'd stick with the 360 Pro. From a tech guy here, having the ability to use the S-Pen to brainstorm is a great benefit :)
I ordered the Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360 just today. For 'only' 1550€ with old non functioning Galaxy S2 phone trade in, discounts and I get the samsung G55C Gaming monitor for free with preorder I want to see if it can replace my Tab S9 Ultra as I use it only stationary for media/watching movies while traveling. Anybody has a opinion on that? :D I'd actually like to see a Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360 vs Tab S9 Ultra comparison I have a asus MiniLED i9 1980hx rtx4090 for work/Gaming so it will only be media / casual use als laptop
Thank you for your comment. You guys in the UK and Europe are getting the real deals! Jealous.. got the buds 2 FE with mine. Ok, thoughts on your comment: 360 pro vs s9 ultra (I have the s8 ultra) + bigger screen size at 16 inch + more power so you have more use cases + can have full windows capabilities (think office full vs. Android limited office) - Peak brightness at something around 425 nits vs. 1750 for the s9 ultra... the tablet will look better in direct sunlight. - heavier so if you wanna watch while lying down, don't let it fall on your face. 🤣 - no IP68 rating.. don't let water get in there I didn't compare batteries, but I'd guess the tablet lasts more on a charge. Hope this helps. Whatever you decide, let me know!
Thank you for taking the time to respond in such detail. I think since I'm mostly on the road at night or watching movies and series without light sources, the peek brightness may not be so decisive. I guess in the end it's just the handling of the Book 4 Pro and the speakers. should they be worse it would be an exclusion and there should be no delay in Bluetooth sound :D I'll update if the decision is made 😃
@@mohamadelhout this is the most beautiful laptop with the best buildquality I've ever seen. and this is all in such a narrow, high quality case. the speakers are good for the device, see no disadvantage to the tablet. I like the display even better than the Tab S9 Ultra, great colors and in my opinion higher brightness and color luminosity in the dark room. the pen works a bit worse, but I hardly use it. so overall it is great laptop, very good display, fast, good speakers, very high quality build and good hinges. I am totally enthusiastic and keep it in any case. after selling the monitor I have paid "only" 1450€ for the model with ultra 7 processor. good Work, Samsung!

@Optora. thank you for the follow up! I know it's beautiful! I'm falling in love with my Ultra version. After having a strong laptop (G15), I'm glad to have such a powerful laptop but with the added OLED beautiful display and the sleek design overall. I'm starting a new job in a week and I'm negotiating getting a M365 vm so that I continue to use my Ultra instead of a corporate issued dumbell 😅. Enjoy it and I hope to see your name pop often in the comments section of this Newbie RUclipsr 🤣
Until we see the inside, I can't tell. If the SSDs are soldered on the motherboard, then forget it. Have you considered the SanDisk extreme? I'm using it and it's blazing fast. Won't be as fast as an onboard SSD for sure, but you have multiple TBs that you can switch between different devices.
@Hi-oq8tx not so far *knock on wood*. Tbh I'm making sure it cools down if I'm playing before closing the lid. Maybe when my YT channel takes off I can afford to take more risks 😅 Edit: I kept the Ultra, returned the 360 a while ago because I didn't like it's performance.
only review which is useful
thanks man

Will do!

@@mohamadelhout Hahahaha best bet honestly. Keep us updated with more 360 pro videos. I know u are returning, but try to make some!! Cheers
Can you please comment on the use of android apps on the Book do you have experience with it
Thanks for the review
Nice to the point informative... probably help few people set the expectation to real level 👍👍👍

Thanks for the review. It is very useful to know how devices work in high-performance applications.💪🏿
My pleasure! Keep an eye open for the Ultra review. I should receive the laptop tomorrow.
Would you buy a screenprotector? I’m scared to scratch my screen.

You should be OK. Make sure drivers are updated and that device manager shows no errors.
@@mohamadelhout I actually wound up getting the Asus Zephyrus G14 and it's working well. Thanks.
Thanks for your honest Review. I need it for Video editing. Is the Samsung Tab s9 Ultra a alternative with a good editing app?
I have the s8 Ultra, which is comparable. You'd have to use Capcut or something else.. keep in mind that the tab is still an android system, so if you want to use Premiere Pro, that won't be a good option for you.
@@mohamadelhout sure. Actually I'm using Power Director for Android
@@mohamadelhoutout of interest do you still rate the s8 ultra, the price gap vs s9U is getting bigger now, so am tempted eg 600 vs 900 gbp.
@luvadealme see if you can get your hands on S8U from your friends to test video editing.. if the power is enough, you can even find some good deals off FB marketplace... if it's laggy for you, then you might want the newer processor with more RAM.
My S8U is more than enough for media consumption, teams calls, notes taking.
Hope this helps! Let me know what you decide on.
Am I the only one confused with the differences in Link to Windows, Samsung Flow, and Quick Share? Not quite sure when to use which...
Did you feel that the laptop was heavy ? that's my main concern along with the battery life...
Oh it's super light!! For a 16 inch laptop, it feels amazing.. and battery life was impressive as well.
It's just because I need more graphics intensive needs that I had to return the laptop.
How about colour range?
P3, Rgb, srgb, BT 2020?
Maximum brightness?
From the Ultra I see: AdobeRGB, P3, sRGB.. There is also Auto Mode which looks the best tbh.
I can't comment on the 360 Pro since I returned it.
Brightness for the 360 Pro from Samsung website:
"The display has maximum brightness of 400 nits and can achieve peak brightness of 500 nits when displaying HDR content only, with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio."
I never had to use max brightness so far. The display is gorgeous.

Hi 👋 Can I know your views for using it to do 2k video editing?
Hi! Thanks for your comment.

They should have provided a 32gb option too in 4 pro 360
We needed an RTX option for 360 pro. 😆
@@mohamadelhout Exactly..even a low tdp card could have been great.

360 pro vs s9 ultra (I have the s8 ultra)
+ bigger screen size at 16 inch
+ more power so you have more use cases

I need 2 TB storage for my laptop. Can we extend its SSD or how can we get 2TB storage in galaxybook 4 pro 360?
Until we see the inside, I can't tell. If the SSDs are soldered on the motherboard, then forget it.
Have you considered the SanDisk extreme? I'm using it and it's blazing fast. Won't be as fast as an onboard SSD for sure, but you have multiple TBs that you can switch between different devices.
Thank you
Does its screen crack
@Hi-oq8tx not so far *knock on wood*. Tbh I'm making sure it cools down if I'm playing before closing the lid. Maybe when my YT channel takes off I can afford to take more risks 😅
Edit: I kept the Ultra, returned the 360 a while ago because I didn't like it's performance.
Fn f11 to Performance Mode
Thank you for this tip!
That did not make it better, IMO. I just think this laptop's performance is really underwhelming for state of the art.
Comparasion with 3 pro 360......
I don't have the 3 to compare it with, but from what I've read, they at least fixed the screen glare issue.
