yeah, i noticed that too. i was gonna grab one since im an avid samsung user, earbuds pro2, galaxy watch 4 classic, and S23U. And then i saw the price. 3k cad for those specs? FK OFF
I am an enthusiast. I have a custom-built desktop, and I am constantly at the bleeding edge of new technology. I was very skeptical of the huge premium that Samsung demands with their laptops and have chosen other brands with better hardware at the same price point. I am very happy with the purchase and the build quality, as well as the "ecosystem." I don't think that the increased cost is "worth it" but it is the price that it costs to have access to the perks that only Samsung can offer. I will likely buy another one when it comes time to upgrade.
Ya you'd seriously need to use it as a TV and leave it on all day for it truly burn in. I imagine the majority of people just dont use their laptops like that
I still prefer Mini LED over it. Everyone knows OLED consumes a lot more energy when displaying bright images. Also, even if it won't burn unless you use it like TV, the risk is still there. A display that decays over time just doesn't cut it for me. And the main killer is the brightness. 400 nits is atrocious in todays standards. Phones get 2600 nits now, while that is still OLED, Samsung knows the burn risk is very low since phones are used differently vs a laptop. The tiny bit more blacks is just not worth it. Micro LED is the future.
@@studywithjeremy7452 little late but if you catch the laptop on sale for around $2300 then you can apply for the student discount and get another $500 off. I just got mine for $1875
First, thank you for covering hinges and screen wobble. I requested it before. Well I love it, but I think its a bit expensive and Im not sure if it worth the payment. But Its a great machine overall
As a samsung galaxy s24 ultra owner this laptop is so much better than the new macbook it has very fast cpu and very powerful rtx 4050 gpu thats my personal take but i love windows more than mac and this laptop is a deal to me this laptop is one of the best laptops samsung has ever made hands down
I own a macbook air 15 and all I can say is, you don’t know what you are talking about. I love samsung but their laptops are trash. Like wtf is that keyboard, how can you type on it? And no Haptic Touch in 2024? Wtf is wrong with them? Go to a tech store and give MacBooks a try! I have a 9 years old macbook pro as well and it still runs perfectly! I did not even change the battery yet…😊
@@AlicanDagdemirHaptic touchpads really can be a pain for creative work. It's also a non point with Windows gestures since you never need to physically press your touchpad to navigate the OS and applications. Also your MB Air would get absolutely trounced by the Ultra in terms of performance.
@@scottdpeterstv I am not a fanboy, you might be right, but I don't think so... What do you mean exactly in terms of performance? Do you mean video editing?
Main problem with all Samsung laptops are their lack of global availability, they aren't sold in Southeast Asia and Australia for instance. If you can't be bothered to sell your laptops everywhere , at least sell the software stack for a fee
Whats ridiculously overpriced is a macbook with no dedicated gpu for over 3k usd. A 4050 gpu is seriously capable of handling good stuff, dont get it twisted
Good thing they went with a micro SD slot, this way they managed to make it as thin as possible! Imagine the horror if they went with a full size SD card! You would look at the slot and you would hear the word ZUUUUUUL coming from it. Also, 512GB SSD, RTX 4050, close to 2500 USD and I am guessing that is without tax. I don't even dare to think how much this would cost in Europe. I mean, LOL and I am being very polite about this because I respect the channel.
This laptop is a beast. I didn't mind paying the extra money for less performance because of the sleek, clean, professional look. I use this for work and business and its far more than enough for my needs. There are cheaper laptops with better performance on paper, but I don't want to be going to meetings with some RGB laptop or something with a bunch of tacky, childish gamer aesthetics. Really liked the Yoga 9i Pro as well but its not available here :-/

Why didn't you talk about the version of the galaxy book ultra 4 the ultra 9 with the nvidia 4070 you got the lowest setup and want to talk about how the apple product is better
Never in my life an OLED matrix, only a mini LED, OLED is the worst that can happen, people buy a laptop for not a small amount of money for a few years, not for two, and the OLED screen will break or burn out quickly.

Because every TH-camr brags about the AMOLED in Samsung laptops, because it is sponsored by Samsung, and normally this OLED is the worst shit in Samsung and flickers terribly.

Is there a consensus on the latest Samsung stuff then, and is it limited to certain screens? Have they acknowledged it, and what are some better alternatives for a high-end Windows machine?
Its better if you keep 2 cameras on simultaneously, one on laptop and one on you, because people really want to look at laptop as you are describing it, you will have much more traffic in long term as compared to other youtubers. All the best
I can’t understand why all of you guys just jump on the pro and ultra, but neglect the base book 4 for people like myself who don’t have the budget or the desire for the top models! And believe me there are many out there like myself. FHD screens are enough I believe.
For me at least, the main reason I’m going for the ultra is because I need a gpu that can handle solid works better than what the pro version or base model offers
The experience about all the samsung display technology is superb than any brands you will see less flickering like lcd ips display and it is like the display is on the top of the screen of super close with no gaps and the colors and black is very premium displays even vs on other oled displays
Funny thing is, it's trying to be the mainstream alternative to Sheeple but here in India it's MORE EXPENSIVE than a mac. 117k for the GB4pro vs 114k for a base mac. Yes the ram and SSD are higher but thats a given advantage of windows, I don't need to have to pay a premium for an apple alternative. For comparison I just bought the zenbook 14 2024 (125h/1tb) for 98k + extended warranty and mpp 2.0 stylus for a total of 109k
Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is 4% slower than M3 Pro, for the fraction of the price. I have both Galaxy Book 4 360 and Macbook pro M3 PRO, and trust me I would choose Samsung every single time.
The 4070 ver will compete and beat M3 performance in terms of gpu and the i9 Ultra is very snappy and an energy sipper. Ive been using this running Unreal Engine & Cinema4D and getting solid performance without massive battery loss. Another consideration is just software support. If you're a 3D artist you're probably avoiding Mac because of their rocky relationship with Epic games and UE support is lacking in a lot of ways. The G16 looks great, but for me its just not professional enough in appearance to be client facing like the the Ultra is. I also wish Asus had better financing options and thats another win for Samsung. Easy to get 0% apr for 24 months on thier machines and when you consider trade in value it all becomes very manageable to afford. I still love Zephyrus and aslo have an older G14 that this replaced as my daily.
@@PKperformanceEUNo one said it beats m3 max that’s a whole different realm of laptops considering its price. It’s always you making these stupid claims
@@PKperformanceEU Dude, you can spend all the money you want on the most expensive maxed out M3 Mac and it's still never going to beat anything with an Nvidia or Radeon dGPU because of lack of support for Apple silicon alone. Apple is really poor at real-time rendering (..well rendering period) and they lack a lot of features modern dGPU's offer. I also love how Apple is touting hardware accelerated raytracing like it's something new when the tech has been around since 2018. They'll do the same when they finally adopt OLED next year (and guess where their panels are going to come from? Samsung anybody?.. lol). They're always late to the party and when they finally arrive, they convince all of their loyalist they were the ones that started the party in the first place. They're about to do the same with AI, playing catchup with Intel Ultra when they rush the M4 to market next year. It couldn't happen too soon because of the massive security flaw that was found in the M3 lineup that is unfixable. How many of their consumers are walking around with a $3K liability in their bags?

I like this one a lot, but for me it isnt that big of a downside that it isnt the fasted videocard it just needs to run packet tracer and football manager 24/25 and maby some minecraft. But i think it will do fine
Because every TH-camr brags about the AMOLED in Samsung laptops, because it is sponsored by Samsung, and normally this OLED is the worst shit in Samsung and flickers terribly.
You do know that a TON of OEMs rely on Samsung for their own devices displays and they are the industry leader in display technology right? Bet you didn't know Apple uses Samsung displays for iPhones and iPads and when the Mac FINALLY starts using OLED they will more than likely be from Samsung.
Why performance same as M1 MacBook? Useless apple products don't have the graphics card there! As NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4050 or other That's mean that MacBooks always will be socks compare with windows!
On Amazon in the UK, we can buy the MB Pro 16 M3 Max with 38GB/1TB for a similar price to the Galaxy Book4 Pro Ultra (36GB version is £3150 with no sales or deals ATM). In Windows-land, the 2024 entries are meh and a good year to not upgrade to any Windows Core Ultra as it is a sideways upgrade, and the dGPUs are similar to 2023. I would expect 2025 Intel and AMD to be a better upgrade. But I would choose an MB Pro 16 as it beats the Ultra in nearly every metric (keyboard, trackpad, speakers, battery life, performance, fan noise, resale value, quality, HDR, brightness, etc).
Ok so just wanted to say that the model people are referencing to be the macbook rival or killer which i wouldnt say its a macbook killer more so on a more even playing field is not the ultra 4 you reviewed as the one you reviewed is the lower spec'd model the top tier model has the newer i9 ultra processor with the 4070 graphics card and is available in a 32 or 64gb ram...and this is the model i suggest you compare just for reference i said its more of an evrn playing field to the newest mac pro because in single core performance the apple wins however in multi core processing the ultra does a whole lot better .plus the 4070 is a much more powerful dedicated graphics card as opposed to the mac pro.so i just wanted to give clarification as to the model most people are referencing too as being on par with apple is NOT the model reviewed .I hope you dont take offense as im not at all to disrect you as i like your channel just wanted to put this out here for the people that are researching to possibly purchase the apple or the ultra 4 that your review doesn't quite tell the whole story
Do you think you could add whether a Windows laptop supports S3 Sleep mode? There's quite a few of us who view it as make or break when purchasing a new device. Should be as simple as running "powercfg -a" in command prompt, and see whether S3 is supported by the firmware. It's a point I personally would love, LOVE to know before purchasing a new laptop.
Nice but hideously overpriced compared to more powerful competitors. You can get the Lenovo Yoga 16” with the core Ultra 9, 32gb RAM & mini LED 3.5K screen for less. And ASUS offer an ecosystem similarly, their laptops are better and their phones are underrated.
why would you compare it to M1 pro? compare it to the latest offering from the competition? because it will destroy it in terms of performance and battery life....not even close to a fair comparison!!!
@@MatthewMonizyou are right it would not even come close, It would be better if you mentioned it in the video as it would show what mac's have to offer and "Intel, Samsung" see this and get their head in the game.
how long does it last for you during average usage? I use "balanced" in the windows settings and "optimized" in the samsung settings. Brightness 50%. I only do some office work, browsing, chatting, watching youtube videos. It only lasts 4-5 hours.
Just got mine today. I haven’t used it much yet, but I’m excited because I have the Tab S9 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold5, Galacy Buds Live, and Galaxy Watch 5… I actually didn’t realize how much I was in the Samsung ecosystem already and it’s just because I loved the quality and performance of the devices I already had so Samsung definitely hit me different lol.. That being said, I have used the M3 Max MacBook Pro 14 and 16” and those are just… mwah! Chef’s kiss! I don’t know if I’ll stick with the Galaxy Book, as I also have an iPhone and M3 MBA 15”, so I do have Apple products already and plan on getting the iPad Mini 7 whenever that drops… who knows. There is so much exciting tech other than there, I can’t decide! Which do you use and recommend from a personal standpoint?
The reason why ppl choose Android or Samsung mobile on Android platform as a brand is due to its open ecosystem and price variability. Not a 《Samsung ecosystem》 thing. Otherwise I am gonna use Apple alteady especially within the US market. Don't like the review of this guy...
No one is buying this for the "ecosystem". 90% of the subreddit for the galaxy book is there to complain about how broken these value-add Samsung features and purported integration are. It may work out of the box perfectly...for maybe five minutes. The moment Windows starts updating and you start installing programs, the whole system will implode. These features are not part of the OS, not closely developed with Microsoft, and just hanging precariously on a top layer. Even with Microsoft support, it will be garbage tier anyway, just like large parts of their OS, and the windows phonelink that only notionally works.

None of these are mac killers. Smh. Its not about just the specs. It runs windows so its garbage to me. The main reason i use macs is the OS. And with Geforce now i have zero want for a garbage ass windows 11 machine.
looks boring compared to their earlier models. hate the 16" version with numkeys (& the extra french whatever). the 2 & 3 year old samsungs had kind of like the dell xps look (not their poor service)...almost edge to edge keyboard. & i now only do silver or white laptops. i might try a matt gold one day...ha ha. 🙊(don't say apple rose gold ..the don't have a 360° model...or touchscreen, even). hey...everyone has their preferences. blue sucks. black is boring. i would have an asus zenbook flip...but what terrible colour options they offer. slimy green, bluey gray...wth? so, in my opinion...they went backwards with this model. 🙏🏽

Yes, metal is way less competent api but the 40core is faster than a 150w 4080m in some gaming scenarios.
I can tell you m4 is about to up the gpu department by a longshot. AI bs is hardly relevant unless you are a developer
@@scottdpeterstv oled….nobody wants burn in susceptible panels in a work laptop. I see you are really mad so here’s one for you: the upcoming M3 ultra chip will equal a 7995wx, if m4ultra is the upcoming, it will destroy the 95wx. Live with this
Review the Book 4 Pro 14" please 🙏
Seeing a lot of cracked screens with this new model, which was an issue with the older models as well. A shame, it looks like a nice laptop otherwise
I wanted to buy it but after reading about cracking screens I don't think I should
XPS 16 next please. i7 with 4070
"But this is for Samsung users" ☠
Starting at £2600 for this? I7 4050 Samsung thinking there Apple with pricing lol😂
Samsung has the same mindset as Apple. They charge consumers outrages prices for the brand and ecosystem. No thanks, pass...
I like this one a lot, but for me it isnt that big of a downside that it isnt the fasted videocard it just needs to run packet tracer and football manager 24/25 and maby some minecraft. But i think it will do fine
Because every TH-camr brags about the AMOLED in Samsung laptops, because it is sponsored by Samsung, and normally this OLED is the worst shit in Samsung and flickers terribly.
You do know that a TON of OEMs rely on Samsung for their own devices displays and they are the industry leader in display technology right? Bet you didn't know Apple uses Samsung displays for iPhones and iPads and when the Mac FINALLY starts using OLED they will more than likely be from Samsung.
Waiting for the Surface Laptop 6. 2024 is the year of ARM.
The Galaxy Book4 edge is running on ARM with Snapdragon X Elite
Why performance same as M1 MacBook?
Useless apple products don't have the graphics card there!
As NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4050 or other
That's mean that MacBooks always will be socks compare with windows!
I wish samsung will shrink chin bazel, centered touch pad and have Snapdragon X Elite version
The Galaxy Book4 edge has the Snapdragon X Elite and is a bit more slim
On Amazon in the UK, we can buy the MB Pro 16 M3 Max with 38GB/1TB for a similar price to the Galaxy Book4 Pro Ultra (36GB version is £3150 with no sales or deals ATM). In Windows-land, the 2024 entries are meh and a good year to not upgrade to any Windows Core Ultra as it is a sideways upgrade, and the dGPUs are similar to 2023. I would expect 2025 Intel and AMD to be a better upgrade. But I would choose an MB Pro 16 as it beats the Ultra in nearly every metric (keyboard, trackpad, speakers, battery life, performance, fan noise, resale value, quality, HDR, brightness, etc).
we want review of base model samsung book 4 with core 7 Processor
This is the base model with Core 7 processor...
Pretty annoyed I cant get this in Australia.... considering switching to Apple if they keep locking us out when the time comes to buy a new laptop
Ok so just wanted to say that the model people are referencing to be the macbook rival or killer which i wouldnt say its a macbook killer more so on a more even playing field is not the ultra 4 you reviewed as the one you reviewed is the lower spec'd model the top tier model has the newer i9 ultra processor with the 4070 graphics card and is available in a 32 or 64gb ram...and this is the model i suggest you compare just for reference i said its more of an evrn playing field to the newest mac pro because in single core performance the apple wins however in multi core processing the ultra does a whole lot better .plus the 4070 is a much more powerful dedicated graphics card as opposed to the mac pro.so i just wanted to give clarification as to the model most people are referencing too as being on par with apple is NOT the model reviewed .I hope you dont take offense as im not at all to disrect you as i like your channel just wanted to put this out here for the people that are researching to possibly purchase the apple or the ultra 4 that your review doesn't quite tell the whole story
Why would anyone buy this when the X Elite is just around the corner?
I mean the X elite looks promising! My only concern is how well does it translate non native apps.
@@MatthewMoniz I saw some tests comparing emulated apps vs their native x86 versions. The emulated apps were 90% as good as the native ones.
love these laptops, their only downside is availability, SELL EM GLOBALLY SAMSUNG!!!
Thankyou for noticing the wobble on this 2300$ piece, many others simply brush off the wobble
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Wanted it until I heard about the French/English keyboard.
Do you think you could add whether a Windows laptop supports S3 Sleep mode? There's quite a few of us who view it as make or break when purchasing a new device. Should be as simple as running "powercfg -a" in command prompt, and see whether S3 is supported by the firmware. It's a point I personally would love, LOVE to know before purchasing a new laptop.
How about a comparison to the new LG Gram? These two arw direct competitors and are rarely ever compared on reviews.
hard pass...
Nice but hideously overpriced compared to more powerful competitors. You can get the Lenovo Yoga 16” with the core Ultra 9, 32gb RAM & mini LED 3.5K screen for less. And ASUS offer an ecosystem similarly, their laptops are better and their phones are underrated.
why would you compare it to M1 pro? compare it to the latest offering from the competition? because it will destroy it in terms of performance and battery life....not even close to a fair comparison!!!
I compared it the m1 pro because it won't even come close to the m3 pro. I also don't have an m3 pro and only an m3 max which is just leaps ahead.
@@MatthewMonizyou are right it would not even come close, It would be better if you mentioned it in the video as it would show what mac's have to offer and "Intel, Samsung" see this and get their head in the game.
@@lakshay8363 I did mention it in the video right in my conclusion.
Battery is terrible, complete shit, dying so fast
how long does it last for you during average usage? I use "balanced" in the windows settings and "optimized" in the samsung settings. Brightness 50%. I only do some office work, browsing, chatting, watching youtube videos. It only lasts 4-5 hours.
😂😂😂 did you day m1 pro performance
4050 for 2000$ no thanks
Disgusting
I can't wait for this laptop to have the upcoming Snapdragon CPU.
The Galaxy Book4 edge has the Snapdragon X Elite
Just got mine today. I haven’t used it much yet, but I’m excited because I have the Tab S9 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold5, Galacy Buds Live, and Galaxy Watch 5… I actually didn’t realize how much I was in the Samsung ecosystem already and it’s just because I loved the quality and performance of the devices I already had so Samsung definitely hit me different lol..
That being said, I have used the M3 Max MacBook Pro 14 and 16” and those are just… mwah! Chef’s kiss! I don’t know if I’ll stick with the Galaxy Book, as I also have an iPhone and M3 MBA 15”, so I do have Apple products already and plan on getting the iPad Mini 7 whenever that drops… who knows. There is so much exciting tech other than there, I can’t decide!
Which do you use and recommend from a personal standpoint?
It kills the m4
French keys. Anyone would think they speak French in Canada 🤷
The reason why ppl choose Android or Samsung mobile on Android platform as a brand is due to its open ecosystem and price variability. Not a 《Samsung ecosystem》 thing. Otherwise I am gonna use Apple alteady especially within the US market. Don't like the review of this guy...
No one is buying this for the "ecosystem". 90% of the subreddit for the galaxy book is there to complain about how broken these value-add Samsung features and purported integration are. It may work out of the box perfectly...for maybe five minutes. The moment Windows starts updating and you start installing programs, the whole system will implode. These features are not part of the OS, not closely developed with Microsoft, and just hanging precariously on a top layer. Even with Microsoft support, it will be garbage tier anyway, just like large parts of their OS, and the windows phonelink that only notionally works.
🎉🎉🎉
It cost almost 1k dollars more than Asus zephyrus g14 for similar specs with worse speakers and trackpad than g14. what a joke🤡
People who think samsung should create linux laptops
👇
What would be the difference? Not paying Microsoft royalties?
@@utschb18 Samsung could customize the software WAY more than they ever could using windows, besides linux is fast and users could customize it themselves incase they do not like the additions samsung has
Well I prefer micro SD as my devices have micro SD cards and I don't have any adapters with me all the time I don't even have a single full size sd card - only TH-camr have in their legacy equipment
first??
It's quite pretty but I don't see me paying for it.
What would you buy at that price point?
@@MatthewMoniz Something from Lenovo Thinkpad.
@@MatthewMoniz Every other laptop is more powerful and with more RAM and mini LED, never a flashing screen in this hopeless Samsung OLED
Can't game properly... no haptic track pad... Speakers any good? Costs more than a current MacBook Air, and is still less performant. Make it make sense. Integration.. meh. still Nah
damn high price
Hey, its purpose is to compete with macbook. So having any higher number compared to macbook is great, including price.
The one I purchased is specked out!

was it worth the price?
How many Watts on that 4070?

None of these are mac killers. Smh. Its not about just the specs. It runs windows so its garbage to me. The main reason i use macs is the OS. And with Geforce now i have zero want for a garbage ass windows 11 machine.
what is the Geforce ?
Amazing battery = Very underpowered CPU
no, the battery is not good
looks boring compared to their earlier models. hate the 16" version with numkeys (& the extra french whatever). the 2 & 3 year old samsungs had kind of like the dell xps look (not their poor service)...almost edge to edge keyboard. & i now only do silver or white laptops. i might try a matt gold one day...ha ha. 🙊(don't say apple rose gold ..the don't have a 360° model...or touchscreen, even). hey...everyone has their preferences. blue sucks. black is boring. i would have an asus zenbook flip...but what terrible colour options they offer. slimy green, bluey gray...wth? so, in my opinion...they went backwards with this model. 🙏🏽
Overpriced windows garbage, i take the much much faster better looking more premium entry m3pro over this windows failure 💩
Stop rage baiting on every video and get a life please🥺
The worst crap is a MacBook where everything is soldered, even the screen is glued
