Samsung makes great laptops that cost 40% more than they should given the fierce windows laptop market competition
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
@@MuiKaHofor the same price, I could grab a custom laptop with much better specs lol.
I agree that the OLED burn-in risk is very low. I have the first Galaxy Book from a few years ago, and the screen is still perfect.
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.
do u have your start bar always on or does it hide
Nice review keep up the good work
I like your reviews very much. They are practical and straight to the point!
Thank you! I appreciate it
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
over 2000 usd for a laptop with an RTX 4050? yeah no thanks, Samsung being as ridicuolously overpriced as Apple
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
@@jamescassar5348Macbook is even cheaper and provides better performance than this Samsung. 4050 is no good.
dells are also expesnvie
You can get a 4070 in the ultra. It's not really overpriced. You get integration with your phone that you can't get in regular laptops too.
@Nothingnowhere992 lenovo yoga pro i9 has same specs for $500 less
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
LOL BEST EVER "THE STICKER GUY DOING HIS JOB😂" WHY THE HELL DID THEY PUT ALL THOSE STICKERS ON WINDOWS I NEVER UNDERSTOOD IT!!!
It helps them keep the cost lower.
it saves the customers money, stop crying
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
agreed, also they should make their next laptops with oryon cpus have linux support, that would be great
I agree. I’m from Singapore, and I really want to own a Samsung laptop, but it isn’t available.
@@little.raindrop it is possible to import via Amazon US or qoo10
same problem in nepal..thats why i switced entirely to apple ecosystem
@@leejenshakya8524am in India… how are you affording Apple bro 😭
Hi Moniz, One request can you please make a video on using galaxy tab as external monitor with other laptops...please
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.
When are you reviewing the Transcend 14
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
The stickers are the least of my concerns Matthew...
love these laptops, their only downside is availability, SELL EM GLOBALLY SAMSUNG!!!
bro there is no any news about the update of hp specter x360 16 ? I bought one but the battery life not really good !
Welcome to the world of Windows laptops. The dark side (MacBook) awaits you 😂
@@adequatequality Hahaha bro I was using the macbook air is really smooth and fast and have more good battery life then my hp specter 😵💫
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
Another honest review --- thanks Matt.
You're welcome!
i got the i9 4070 version for 1800 so I cant complain about the price area
Where?
How did you get for that price?
How???
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?
XPS 16 next please. i7 with 4070
I just wanna see video rendering vs the tablet
Review the Book 4 Pro 14" please 🙏
It's sad that you didn't highlight how great the screen is compared to the competition
Better than a MacBook?
I wish samsung will shrink chin bazel, centered touch pad and have Snapdragon X Elite version
Why is everybody so disappointed in the micro sd. Isn't that the wave of the future. I use it for my drone so it's great. I understand maybe more cameras use the larger SD
What do you guys think of the Galaxy Book4 Ultra?
How expensive in Canada?
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
Long way to go for becoming a MacBook pro killer.
expensive AF
It's getting better, but the keyboard layout, speakers, and performance tuning needs to be better for it to be a true competitor against apple
how would the sims 4 run on this? 😭
Base model having 16 gigs of RAM for something called the ultra is a crime😂
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.
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.
4070 Beat the vanilla m3? Wow big accomplishment… As for against m3max nah not even the slightest chance😂 m3pro lvl at best
@@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?
@@scottdpeterstv catch up with intel ultra? Xd do you hear yourself ? M3max dont need the ai shit when it equals a 13900K in multi and destroys it in single. (Source: SPEC2017) 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
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
Wholeheartedly agree. No one is comparing this.
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
All these Samsung books have flickering issues, which is clear while writing in Google docs. And yet no reviewer talks about it.
Samsung laptops prices are crazy. It’s going to cost someone their kidneys.
Their cheaper
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.
matthew helloooooooo remember me?
probably not😅😅😪😪😪😪
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).
Waiting for the Surface Laptop 6. 2024 is the year of ARM.
Lol, no it's not.
How about a comparison to the new LG Gram? These two arw direct competitors and are rarely ever compared on reviews.
we want review of base model samsung book 4 with core 7 Processor
This is the base model with Core 7 processor...
Starting at £2600 for this? I7 4050 Samsung thinking there Apple with pricing lol😂
Thankyou for noticing the wobble on this 2300$ piece, many others simply brush off the wobble
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
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.
I can't wait for this laptop to have the upcoming Snapdragon CPU.
🎉🎉🎉
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.
Amazing battery = Very underpowered CPU
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.
😂😂😂 did you day m1 pro performance
The one I purchased is specked out! Samsung - Galaxy Book4 Ultra 16" AMOLED Touch Screen 2880 x 1800 Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU 32GB Memory NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU 2TB SSD Moonstone Gray Price Total: $3,199 was it worth the price?
How many Watts on that 4070?
@@MnopTheGreat 140W
"But this is for Samsung users" ☠
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 KZheadr have in their legacy equipment
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.
French keys. Anyone would think they speak French in Canada 🤷
first??
damn high price
Hey, its purpose is to compete with macbook. So having any higher number compared to macbook is great, including price.
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.
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
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 ?
Battery is terrible, complete shit, dying so fast
Samsung has the same mindset as Apple. They charge consumers outrages prices for the brand and ecosystem. No thanks, pass...
4050 for 2000$ no thanks Disgusting
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🥺
