Hey Raider Merion here. I always enjoy your tutorials and would love more on the Book 2 pro360. I know it's already classified as outdated, but I would differ. Book 2 Pro 360 was really sold to those of us that wanted a light weight highly functional laptop. And that it is. I jumped on the band wagon this year and brought the book4 Pro 360 and the weight almost broke my arm. (just kidding) but there was a huge different in weight. Also I thought the AI feature would be a big thing, but it's not . Microsoft and every other OS, app and their mother has their own version of AI to use . As for the glare on the screen that's what some screen protectors are for. Basically these laptops even though they have some Samsung involvement .... they really don't. So I sent mine back and recouped my over 1500 dollars. Also I felt the 500 dollar trade in for the 2 Pro360 was an insult. Best buy is selling them for 900. Looking forward to your feedback. Take care.
Hi Merion, thanks for stopping by! I would love to put out more content on it, but sadly I ended up trading in the book2 to get the book4 at a reduced price. These machines are so darn expensive that I just couldn't afford to pass up the trade-in deal the were offering. It was a great machine, and I do miss the smaller form factor.
Thank you so much. i just bought this laptop, and it's been years since I've used a computer (like 4 or 5) and I bought this so i could hook up my phone to it but I didnt know how. I thought a new computer would at least give me a walk through on how to do it. Any way, I'm super excited now, thank you!
You're welcome, and congrats on getting it! If you have an android based phone, you can use Your Phone on your laptop to gain a lot of functionality between your laptop and phone. Happy to help if you have any questions about it. Please keep in mind that I rarely see replies to comments (they get buried in youtube studio), but I always notice new comments. Just mentioning, so you know to leave a new comment, that'll get my attention :)
Hi, keep up the good work mate! I'm getting one this week and I'll be sure to follow your vids from now on :) Just had a quick question, I know it only has 1 slot for the m.2 but can I replace the ssd with a different one or is it soldered?
Thank you so much, and congrats on getting it. Yes, you sure can, you can replace it with any brand SSD, even Pro line SSD's from Samsung and WD will work fine. I'm not sure if there's a max size you can use, but I've seen plenty of posts on reddit of folks using 2TB all day, so I know for sure that works.
@@RADERTECHcompare to Samsung galaxy book 3 pro, new book 4 pro gives better battery back up?? , i think both have 63whr battery but the cpu consumption take in place ,size of nano meter reduced so explain which has best battery life please
Thanks for another visit my friend! There's a lot of cool little stuff you can do, but nothing really groundbreaking. Multi-control works with the S24, as well as "continue apps on other devices", which makes it nice to continue where you left off. This also works for Samsung Internet for browsing. You can also copy with the s pen on one device, and paste it over on the other. Phone calls and texts, and you can run your android apps on the PC if you want too. Stuff like that.
@@RADERTECH Thanks. I now rely on Google for "continuation" (it works very well on all devices and platforms, for Chrome, GMail and TH-cam). Dolby Atmos and Video Boost are amazing.
I really like the book 4 pro 360 still, and I'd assume everything would be roughly the same for the book 4 pro. I'm getting fantastic battery life considering how bright I keep the screen. If you can get it a good price, I'm all for it.
Great video! I am thinking of buying a Book 4, but reviews are sketchy on heating issues and loud fans. I did find it odd. it's more on the smaller 14" models than the 16". Maybe i will be leaning towards this 360 model. What are your thoughs.
Thanks for stopping by. I personally haven't come across any heating issues, and the fans have been more quiet on this year's model than all of the past models, at least of of those that I've had. It's been a solid machine, all in all.
@RADERTECH So apparently, the 14" model chasis don't have enough space to distribute heat, but the 16" models don't suffer from the same problem. Also, some people in countries with the 14" models paired with Intel Ultra 5 processors don't have those heating problems either.
That's awesome, you're fully integrated in the ecosystem at this point. If money's not an object, the Ultra is the better machine, especially the i9/32gb variant. But if you're not into video editing and hardcore gaming, the book4 pro 360 works great and will save you a few bucks.
It's probably struggling in Silent mode while you're doing music production, because it really wants to kick those fans on for that type of use case. I would suggest going up to Optimized mode for any production related tasks. That will give you best balance of battery life and performance for tasks like music production.
Thanks for stopping by. That's odd, I thought all of the galaxy books came with this app at this point, but I could be wrong on that. Try searching for "Samsung Experience" from the Start menu, perhaps the icon just isn't there on the Taskbar. You might also want to try checking the Samsung Updates app to see if it's available there. That really sucks that isn't showing up for you. But in all honesty, it's just nothing more than a dashboard for the apps that are included, and all of those apps should at least be there. At least I hope so.
@@aneesh3009it cracked spontaneously as others had said with theirs because it’s theorized that their too much heat either coming off the screen or onto the screen. Yea it’s in warranty but paying $29 a pop after 2 times isn’t nice
i noticed 2 features not available in galaxy book 4 pro 360. 1. On Screen display for caps lock and numb lock not available. 2. face recognition not working. do you have any idea?
@@RADERTECH What I mean, when my laptop screen lights up and Windows begins updating automatically when I put it on sleep. Sometimes I open my laptop and see that the battery is completely dead. How do you deal with this?
@nishantsinghx-h7310 My screen isn't cracked. I've never had a cellphone or laptop with a cracked screen. I dropped my cell phone by accident the other day. S23U it slide across a tile floor after dropping, not a scratch or crack. I did have it in a case like I normally do. Don't like touching cellphones barehanded because of radiation. They be lying about the SARs levels.

Very useful and informative video.
Thank you, I appreciate you!
Great tips as usual, thank you very much!🎉

I appreciate the tips Rader, you're one of the best channels when it comes to optimizing Samsung devices

Useful video. Besides Hot Spot and Quick Share, what other benefits can we get from being in a Samsung ecosystem? (Book4 Pro and S24 Ultra)

Hi would you recommend the book 4 pro ? Like there are some concerns arounf battery life and performance leading to Samsung giving heavy discounts

Hi, thank you for your tips! Excellent video. What's the exact model you opened to see the ssd slot? Is the NP960QGK-KG1 US ? Thanks.
You're welcome, thanks for stopping by. Yep, that's the one. I just checked the side of the box, it's a match.
I have the s23 ultra , tab s8 and I have the surface book 2 it's almost time for upgrade . Should I get the ultra 5 book or pro 360 4 ?
That's awesome, you're fully integrated in the ecosystem at this point. If money's not an object, the Ultra is the better machine, especially the i9/32gb variant. But if you're not into video editing and hardcore gaming, the book4 pro 360 works great and will save you a few bucks.
@RADERTECH much thanks yea multi tasking is important to me and gaming
In galaxy book 4 pro does have 2nd ssd option ???
No, sadly it does not. Some of the other galaxy books do though. Thanks for stopping by.
Mine get hot on silent mode when i use fl studio ( music production software) and battery drop 1% every 2 min . Is it normal ?
It's probably struggling in Silent mode while you're doing music production, because it really wants to kick those fans on for that type of use case. I would suggest going up to Optimized mode for any production related tasks. That will give you best balance of battery life and performance for tasks like music production.
@@RADERTECH on optimised mode it get serious hot while music production. And at high performance mode very hot fans goes crazy
Well you're not watching TH-cam videos obviously 🤦🤦🏼♀️@@World-zg8tn
Does the camera not work for Windows Hello?
No, it does not :( Thanks for watching.
row lock still dont work after reboot
Yeah, still seems to be the same as past year's galaxy books :(
I don't have Samsung experience app on my book 4 pro.

I didn’t have it either, but I was able to download it. I have the galaxy book 3, 360.
My display cracked and was sent back to Samsung. It didn't come back till 3 1/2 weeks later
Ouch! I'm sorry to hear that.
How did it crack? And was it covered in warranty

Has Microsoft resolved the sleep mode battery drain problem?
No, I think it's still an issue. Abouy 1% drain per hour while in sleep mode still.
@@RADERTECH What I mean, when my laptop screen lights up and Windows begins updating automatically when I put it on sleep.
Sometimes I open my laptop and see that the battery is completely dead. How do you deal with this?
I dropped mines, didn't mean to heard a loud noise too. The display is fine.
Oh wow, glad it's still working fine! Thanks for stopping by and sharing this, that's a + in the durability department!
Is that working fine does its screen get cracked by itself???

I JUST BOUGHT THIS COMPUTER AND TO ME DOLBY ATMOS ISNT WORTH IT. I PREFWR THE NORMAL SOUND THAT THE SPECIAL SOUND. THE BASE ISNT AS GOOD WITH DOLBY
Interesting. You're the very first person to ever comment saying they prefer Dolby Atmos off. We all have different tastes. Thanks for stopping by.
Tip 1: clean install windows 11
Tip 2: install RevisionOS
Tip 3: install apps you will actually use
???? Profit.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by.
You missed the point of a device that has apps for its ecosystem
@@surrcram nothing stops you from installing those apps later. What you will achieve with above steps is 99% reduction in tracking and bloat.
