You can adjust the battery to performance and get better fps on battery, by default it’s on balanced. Not sure who does gaming on a battery, but the options are there to improve the experience. I have the 4050 model, such an amazing device in my eyes for the cost and that beautiful OLED!
I'm definitely getting this laptop for work, and gaming. I thought about buying an Asus gaming notebook, but they have QC issues.
@@thundergato84 yep, I don’t blame you
The problem is the 4050 consumes less power here, so it will have some wiggle room for Performance, it's not the same for a 4070. TDP affects this chip so much that having it be as lower wattage that it is doesn't even classify it as a 4070. This is something a lot of reviewers also complain about because of how low of a TDP you can put into a laptop and slap a sticker on it. Yes it can game but isn't the focus at all considering the TDP for these chips inside and how much the cpu heats up due to a lack of cooling for sustained loads, not burst loads like rendering would be.
hows the battery life on it
what's the battery life?
I bought the 4070 version for video editing purposes, but it also works well for simple gaming with a weight of 1.79kg and a 120Hz OLED display. The balance of heat and noise is good, too. I haven't seen a laptop of this caliber in a while.
Do you think it is too loud to use while gaming if you're in the same room with someone else who is watching TV? My current 3080 Lenovo Legion is bothersome to my wife when I'm gaming.
@@johnwilson7680 Unlike gaming laptops that consume a lot of power and generate a significant amount of noise, this laptop consumes less power tend to produce less noise. If you are heavy gaming, it may be appropriate to choose a gaming laptop, even if you have to put up with the noise.
@@johnwilson7680 With both Windows and Samsung settings on Performance mode, it gets plenty loud. Same as my old ROG G14
@@EliteDogSF Good to know. Thanks.
@@EliteDogSF ? I have both Dell XPS 9520 and Zephy G14, but the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra has the least amount of noise.
Love the video! You always perfectly showcase these new products / projects. Keep it up! 👍
For the moments the text correction popups, i recommend in those moments preferably pausing the clip and have the text popup with voice over since people can miss the correct text given its display is very brief. You can put your own spin on it to make the correction moments unique to you but that the only thing i can critique. (Also a sub looking forward to future content)
A light laptop that I can use for work and casual gaming is very tempting. I have a 17" LG Gram, which is great for work but obviously hopeless for gaming. I wouldn't expect top-notch performance from the Samsung, given that its so light.. It might be time for me to upgrade!
The gram can now come with a etc 4050 for $2000 17" 3.2 pounds up to 20 hours video streaming at 150 nits.
But it's a 28 watt low power Intel. P chip.
So not as fast in the CPU department with only average cooling.
Yes! I like when you review more gaming laptops!
Just what I need. Thanks so much for covering this.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for this video 👍👍
GREAT REVIEW. No fluff, just informative 👌. I have a Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360, didn't even know that the plastic covers could be removed from the feet. Kept them on as I thought I would break the rubber plugs.
well done video, all info i was looking for in one place
If your gonna check the latest CES, there is a new technology regarding cooling that might replace the rotating fan in the future. If I remember that correctly it is called "air jet"... If that small thing put in a laptop then Yeah, thermal throttling will be a thing in the past and laptop can get more power output because the laptop can handle that already.. Hope to see that technology very soon.. Finger cross...
Same! Give me OLED we have had on cell phones for a decade (or at least feels like it)
Give me better, improved cooling tech than 2008! I feel like they have been lagging the market to make money, slow rolling consumers.
i really enjoyed the review of the games, especially since i play more than one of those, but i would've liked to see how the battery life fares
Yes, I love that samsung book 3 Ultra. I would love to buy it someday. I am seeing if samsung would make a much better laptop for gaming with a lot more games.
What’s the software overlay you use to track frames and temps
18:15 you can change your frame rate setting while on battery using GeForce experience, by default it is set at optimal 30fps range you can increase it upto 60fps
where do i go to change that?
You keep calling this a gaming laptop. This is not a gaming laptop. It's a creator's laptop that you can game on
Yes but it has a 4070 that’s practically a gaming laptop 🤣
Lol, as long as you can game on laptop without any issue then that is a gaming laptop. A laptop that can run game smoothly.. Doesnt make sense why need to urgue with the naming.. Lol
@@robbiemcnair9963 But it doesn't come with the Gaming drivers preinstalled. It has the Studio drivers installed. It wasn't meant as a gaming laptop. It just happens to have gaming capabilities
@@alvindanica Sure, man. Keep thinking that Laptop, MacBook, and Gaming Laptop are synonymous. Because it doesn't make sense to argue the naming right? My niece's chromebook from school can run minesweeper. It must be a gaming laptop to you
@@EliteDogSF if it can run a AAA title on high, it's a gaming laptop.
Rule 1 of laptop naming:
If a gaming laptop is slim with minimalist design and doesn't have RGB, it's called a CREATOR'S LAPTOP!!
How was the noise when under load? It looks like it cools badly due to the form factor? Is there a silent mode?
5 years later and I am back to you channel. WTF happened man? You had a few hundred subscribers and busy studying. Well done, what a success 🙏
So how good are computers these day compared to my 2018 PC I want to replace?
oh man laptops have come a long way, some laptops with integrated graphics can run AAA titles at mid to low settings at a consistent 60 fps. it really depends on what kind of specs your PC has but generally, most modern gpus can beat a PC from almost 5 years ago. I'd recommend the ideapad gaming 3 on amazon, has an rtx 3050 ti which should be plenty, and a 6 core ryzen 5 5600h for as low as 780 USD. I hope this helps
Thank you so much, my mind is blown already. I usually buy a new pc or laptop every 4-5 years, I can't believe the changes.
As nice as it is, £3050 in the UK for the i9 is too much, especially as we can only get 16GB of RAM. That means it will struggle as a pro laptop and have a sub-par gaming experience. Though I do get that this cycle has meant an increase in prices all around due to inflation and lower demand (economies of scale).
Best to wait for deals, although I doubt Samsung is making many of these, so they may not drop like the Book Pro models.
What game needs more than 16gb ram? I know Photoshop etc are ram hungry but I have not found a game yet...
But yeah it's too much money lol.... I'll have to stick with my legion 5...
@@troyhowling2497 Hogwarts legacy
@troyhowling2497 the ps5 has only 16gb of ram so you should be fine
Thanks for making this video
How does the keyboard feel for gaming?
Do you think it would be useful for architects using llumion, SketchUp, Cray, archicad ecc?
New AMD 7000 versions will be going out this coming week from all vendors, I'd be looking forward to an AMD Advantage version with new 7040CPU and new Navi 7000 GPU with even better battery life.
great vid 🔥
Samsung could have given the charger and cable a color that matches the color of the laptop - for some 3000$+ and as a 3rd generation device (color design perspective).
Did you download game drivers? The laptop comes out of the box with studio drivers installed.
Hands down laptop of the year. This thing looks amazing!!!! A Macbook than can actually game and doesnt explode from the heat
An other great video from you. Nice looking laptop.
For the last question. I personally have my PC(custom, r5 5600x, 3060, 16gb ram) and a laptop(Lenovo slim 7 pro x) which performs better on battery then that, and gets close in come games.
whats the battery life for standard work use like?
Would love it if you tested with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
I am curious what "technically the first gaming laptop Samsung has ever made" means, because I know they made the Samsung series 7 Gamer which was to my knowledge the first gaming laptop they have ever made, and they also had series 7 ultra books which could be had with some pretty powerful GPUs for the time, although those aren't technically gaming laptops, but I do know the series 7 gamer was a gaming laptop, packing an i7 3rd gen and a gtx 675m, so I truly am just genuinely curious, not saying the video is wrong, because I don't know if the series 7 gamer was just made by another company and Samsung just slapped their logo on it or what.
What motherboard would you recommend for the 3950x and 3080 ti?😊
I just got my 4070 32gb ram one, for working with 3D modeling and real time rendering on the go. The only thing I'm having a hard time getting used to are the ROUNDED SCREEN CORNERS, why would you do that samsung WTF
Hi, are you using It for architecture pourpouses ?
@@marcogiuseppedantona6814 yes, for some stuff
Hows the battery life and unplugged power of this laptop compared to a M2 macbook pro, i can't decide between the two
@@audiophile... a mac will probably last 3 times longer than the samsung. Battery life isn't that good, I use it charged most of the time.
@@gonzalozech oh, that's my concern. I usually work with engineering software but sometimes i game, so macs are the best for productivity and programming, on battery too but without gaming aspect. So i think i will wait for the galaxy book 4 series..🤔
Perfect for Diablo4 ...can't wait
That screen shake is crazy... And I wish they would have bumped the GPU tdp, 60w is so low... even if it was 300-400g more, wouldnt have cared.
Not having hdmi 2.1 is a deal breaker for me... the difference between hooking it up to a tv or not.
Can you use a thunderbolt 4 dock or adapter with HDMI 2.1 port?
@@Odetolove don't think so... i have a 144hz monitor but only through DCI which sucks.. HDMI is 2.0 and I can't get 144hz on it through HDMI
@habs4life41 wouldn't that have to do with your monitor?
You can not run this laptop anyhow in 4k 144 in games as the 4070 is a low power one
I mean it's barely powerful enough to run any semi recent game at 4k at all let alone at high refresh rates.
Did anybody notice his kurzgesagt posters with are fire btw
Life hack; sheet music stands without a solid back make decent laptop stands with great airflow lol
Not crazy about how the screen shakes so much each time he picks up the laptop.
Could you build a pc to run Warzone 2 and multiplayer
I can't find the High Performance nor the Quick Settings, what do I do?
Really in between the Galaxy Book 360 pro or a surface studio laptop
Hey there, im thinking of getting this laptop mainly for content creation but i do travel alot so there would times i would use this for gaming quite, im gonna look into thr 4070 model, would you recommend this laptop to me for my usage or would you recommend a razer blade? I 100% need to make sure it can handle gaming! Id be playing call of duyy, gta 5, cyberpunk and more. Need help on this choice on either getting this laptop or a dedicated gaming laptop 🤣
You’d probably be better off with a dedicated gaming laptop since those are all very demanding games
Hey,what about temps ?
What about noise?
I wonder how this will stack against the XPS 17 w/4080
I'm assuming this isn't the only spec you can get. No reason why there isn't a much better i7 version which I think should go with this 4070 gpu.
Does this have a native sRGB mode?
Love your videos and I don't mean to correct you. But Samsung did come out with the Galaxy Book Odyssey which was a gaming laptop.
welcome back laptop marcus
nice video, Samsung delivered a very good laptop
what is the perfect motherboard with ddr5 ram that i can perfectly combine with a 4090?
Why didn't u enable Frame generation?
LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND PERSONALITY!
You’re so weird dude
Hey guys what mouse would you recommend price is not an issue?
Thank you in advance guys
mx master 3 from logitech is a really good mouse
Great laptop, too bad they didn't go with a new Amd zen4 cpu. Performance would be sufficient, temperature would be lower and battery life better.
Hey, I'm actually looking to purchase a good deal breaker laptop and getting confused over all the options around Mac pro, book3 series, asus zenbook 14 pro Ux6404, Dell xps 15 or 17 and Lenovo yoga slim 9i pro or 5i pro. Could you please recommend me some best laptops out there. I'm a Master's student and need a laptop for high end AI programming, slight gaming, good battery, sleek design. No as such budget issue but capping it till $2500 usd. Thanks in advance!
Can you put Microsoft Office on this?
Is the battery draining when playing as it only have a 100w charger? :o
Hey guys! Do you know the model of that mouse?
YO PC CENRTIC!!!! SAMSUNG GAMING LAPTOP??? WOW!!!!! YOUR INSANE FOR SHOWING US THIS!!!
IS YOUR CAPS LOCK STUCK?????
OK YEAHHH BUT WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING???
@@JonesTheLad oh no cuz I was first comment and I wanted PC Centric to see it.
@@ezz_boahh I want my comment to be seen by PC Centric.
I d try undervolt the cpu on that thing. Spending more just to get owned by heat is not... cool :D
Love:
2880 x 1800 120 Hz OLED (my dream screen)
RTX 4070
Simple, clean, aluminum chassis
Dislike:
microSD
HDMI 2.0 instead of 2.1
Not the newest Bluetooth spec
Off center trackpad
Thick lower bezel
60W TDP
Price to performance
So close to being perfect. A full size SD card and an extra 10-15 Watts TDP would have made it a must buy for me. Maybe next year.
I'd prefer if the screen was 1440p
Reduced cost
Better battery
Better frames
Idk might be me
@@PainfulEditz I can understand your position and agree it would have its benefits. I do however appreciate the resolution between 1440P+ and 4K+. With my current 16 inch laptop, which is 1600P, the pixels still stand out pretty clearly to me. For me 1800P is the perfect compromise.
@@johnwilson7680 I guess it's different for me since I sit further away from my PC monitor than you would with a laptop. Guess I'll see when I get my Book 3 Ultra 👏
@@PainfulEditz Did you already order it? I've got one in my shopping cart deciding if I should pull the trigger.
@@johnwilson7680 Funnily enough I just got it, and I already slid in an extra ssd to the Pcie slot. 2tb of storage
My question is how much of vram in this laptop, mean the graphics card's ram...
Can you put a review on acer predator helios 300 i9.
Galaxy Book 3 Ultra. I mean... 3. Not 2, not 4 - it's 3. Yet no Runescape 3 benchmarks, the pillars of destiny have crumbled under the weight of chaos.
I’m currently building my first pc these are the parts im getting. Asus rog strix b450f mo, cooler master v850 full modular, rtx 3090 12gb, ryzen 7 5700x, Corsair 32gb ram ddr4, Samsung 980 pro 1tb. Let me know what u think centric and a case and cooler obviously but no aio let me know if this is a good first pc🙂 and also I’m not exactly sure if all these parts are compatible I think they are😅
Windows laptop manufacturers really need to streamline their settings. Why do you have to set high performance mode on both the windows setting and samsung setting separately?
i think MSI Stealth could also fit the bill of do it all laptop. Certainly Razer laptops could be that too, but my god they are pricey.
only fanboy would buy at that ridiculous price. definitely there are other laptops that offer the same performance at cheaper price.
can you post whats the longest you ever played a game in a day? like how many hours, and what game?😅😅
I had a Samsung laptop with discreet graphics like 9 years ago… the chronos I think it was called series 7?
Sorry to hear that bro
make another video with performance trying warzone rogue company shatterline ❤
I'll wait for the next gen
Do you have problems with a very loud fan??? I have the i7 and I barely power on the laptop and it starts to overheat and the fan gets really loud for no reason. There is nothing blocking the fan and it doesn't matter what surface it's on.
I have an Asus vivo book Pro 14 OLED, it is very similar to this but much cheaper. It is last year's model with an RTX 3050, but it has a great screen and is good for gaming. A perfect do-it-all laptop
Other companies making gaming laptops be like: YOURE HURTING YOUR MATES! CEASE FIRE!🤣
Marcus! Please Be Our Saviour Our Hero n Review The 4050 / 4060 laptop already ... You're the One ... Do it ... Pls
Where’s the blue VBE sticker, did he take it off?
Does the screen wobble all the time as i see in the video during your close up segments?
It's not as strong as a mac book, but pretty sturdy overall - wouldn't really complain
@@PcCentric I'm partial to windows and Samsung I think this duo is killer! Is there much bloatware pre-installed?
@@PcCentric oh and the newer info coming out about it being a low wattage gpu on both models. Is that a concern to pass it by?
that cpu temp is too high for comfort. 92c on civilization at high settings doesn't bode well for the laptops longevity
You forget to mention about awuful flickering of oled..
Hate to burst y'all bubble but....samsung made a gaming laptop already 😅. Its called samsung odyssey laptop. It has a gtx 3050 ti
Bro's handsome, I love your videos.
Nah, this is for light, and I mean light gaming. I tried playing some fps and had to turn settings low or have it on low resolution. I was so disappointed in the performance I had to return it. The display is nice, so there's that.
Isn't the ps5 16gb ram? This is basically the equivalency of a ps5 right?
@ogbeem1901 ram isn't the issue. It's the graphics card not being too throttled for it.
They should have used QLED displays. OLED will burn in and have dead pixel issue.
I thought QLED was LG
@@Freakinkat Samsung is main QLED display producer
5:36 "similar pace" 💀💀💀💀
You need push Fn F11 and switch to high performance mode there. I had three same problem gaming. It will play much better. The credit goes to Jin-N-tech TH-cam channel
Ah, nice tip!
for 2.5k just build a desktop. rich mans toys.
Can I put this pc in my bag??
@@danielg.4935 2500 for 60w ? that’s ridiculous. you’d get a better laptop at 1200-1600.
Many people don't understand the point of this video. Feel sorry to the editors...
Petition for samsung to make an Odyssey Laptop and truly enter the competition.
I wouldn't necessarily call this a gaming laptop cuz it's not mainly targeted for gamers but more likely for creative workers. It doesn't have most of the "Gaming" features like most gaming laptops do ie super cooling, rgb lighting etc.
It's an amazing laptop for most users; it's powerful/fast, light weight, beautiful screen and amazing rounded corner bezel - it's quite rare for a laptop to have a such beautiful bezel especially for windows laptops.
I'm confident to say that the Galaxy book ultra has the best screen in the laptop market, even better than Apple's macbook. It's got Samsung's latest display technology 'AMOLEDX2.'
@Jabz KeepIt
And I'm confident to say a great laptop needs more than just a great screen. That's where the Apple MacBook Pro M2 remains king. Best battery, no fan noise, low to no heat and runs on full performance when on battery and still the best trackpad in the industry.
@@BlendingWithHenry Just to make sure, I'm not saying the galaxy book ultra is the best laptop in today's laptop competition.
Looks perfect, you can do it all productive, creative and play AAA games, I dont care about rgb as I am not in teenage years. Gaming laptops are too big, heavy and ugly for me. I wana design gadget when sipping coffe in a café doing some work 😊 love Lenovo yoga for design, but it doesn't have good gpu for Witcher, GOW and other top games
So this is not a touchscreen then
the bottom bezel 🥴
I'd go for the Sammy.
lol how you liking that numpad? Yeah, Samsung really dropped the ball on that one 😂
Perhaps I'm a prude, but those rounded corners on the display is a dealbreaker. A laptop isn't a phone, don't give me rounded corners, all the pixels please.
this is a OP LAPTOP. except that its pc temp is too high or is it ok 95c ?(i dont know about laptops)
i mean laptop or pc where i can play valorant at 100 fps. just with that i am happy.
Is ok even if the temp goes around about 100 degree Celsius it's ok because cpu can bear 105 degree Celsius easily
I think that all your problems would be solved by using a cooler pad.
Cooler pads give negligible performance gains...
@@MrImOriginal not if you get a proper one like IETS GT500. The ones that just have a straight up spinning fan in them are the low quality ones.
@@MrImOriginal cooler pads are there to push fresh air to your laptop fans to use, Laptop fans can't pull enough fresh air
now if Samsung could make a tablet that could rival apple's iPad and run adobe products
MacBook Pro: Rolls Royce Phantom
Galaxy book: Mercedes Maybach
