Interesting test with interesting results. What are your thoughts on the results and how do they compare with your current laptop?

I have the hp envy 15 inch x360 from 2021 with a Ryzen 7 5700u which has a 52 wh battery if I'm not mistaken. Initially I expected hours more of battery life than I got but it still wasn't that bad.It reached around 7 hours almost always which is I guess meh.I also expected many more hours of battery life from this laptop(galaxy book) but for some reason it didn't get it

It's definitely not as mind-blowing as I expected 🤔

Great video, I have decided to keep mine as I've found it's super hard to go back from that incredible screen and the two and a half pound weight! Also, for what it's worth, I've found that putting the laptop in the Samsung "Quiet" mode appears to extend runtimes notably... Maybe 10 to 15% depending on usage. Also, I use Phone Link a ton also (with the Windows Studio voice focus AI filter) and I'm pretty sure it does a number on the battery also.

Nice! It's def hard to give that up lol my MacBook Air feels so much heavier after this I'm sure battery will improve as more devs optimize for ARM as well :)

@@hoyoungwon That's also my thought. The efficiency numbers from websites like Notebookcheck (my old stomping grounds) certainly don't show that the CPU is that much less efficient than adjacent options, and I really don't think the AMOLED display is responsible for so much more battery drain than competing OLEDs. It's probably something to do with how Samsung has tuned its power provisions to the chipset, considering how flexible the Qualcomm Snapdragon chips are in terms of power scaling. I don't have any scientific evidence to corroborate this, but it certainly seems like the Samsung power settings do you have a bit of an effect.

Can you maybe give some information about compatibility, I got mine couple of days ago and can not even run a simple Java program because there is no jdk for this yet. How long would it take for such thinks to come to arm? Do uou have any idea?

Nice video, man the s24+ has a gorgeous camera. Wanted to ask, how good is the reflection handling on the display, and do you need to shut down the laptop before putting it in your bag?

can it run sketchup pro on arm win and how is it?? thanks...someone...

Thank you for the video! Samsung had spoken about a new functionality in the Phone Link apps that works exclusively on the Book 4 Series, one that let you use the S23/S24 câmeras as a webcam, have you tested this feature? Could you do a vídeo about it?

It's not exclusive to Samsung or the S24 Series. To enable it, you must go to the settings app (weird that it's outside the Phone Link App). I have it available on my Samsung Tab S9 FE

Thanks for the video. I prefer tests like this compared to "lab tests" from other KZreadrs. Great job. BTW, was the display on 120Hz or 60Hz?

Thank you so much! And yep 120Hz was on the entire time

@@hoyoungwon That's not bad for 120Hz turned on. And is the Samsung OLED Display a 10-bit panel? I also read that the OLED display sometimes has a "raster" effect, where the text is not clear or there is a colour shift when viewing white colour content. Do you notice that?

Bro, it's finally your chance to go back to reviewing Microsoft products. The x elite looks good from what I have been experiencing so far, at least.

Samsung's Quick (available on Microsoft store) always works But google's nearby Share now reamed to Quick share (only available through google website) doesn't provide enough speed and doesn't work without a wifi connection.

Do you have a Samsung Book4 Pro with Intel Core Ultra and if so, how does it compare with the Book4 Edge model? Did you encounter any software or hardware incompatibility issue?

I’ve only had software incompatibilities with a few creative apps, but it's mostly due to third-party devs not allowing Windows ARM to emulate their app or the apps are in beta so there's instability

@@hoyoungwon I think that from the perspective of the users, it doesn't matter why there is incompatibility. They buy a new laptop and some software or accessory device like a printer or external speaker becomes unusable.

I agree with you! Other than us techies, no one needs to know about ARM, x86/x64, blah blah. This should be a non-issue being a mass consumer device

Can you find your laptop using SmartThings from your phone or find your Samsung devices using SmartThings on the laptop? That'd be a game-changer for my Samsung ecosystem

Just took a look and seems that SmartThings doesn't let you locate the Galaxy Book from your Galaxy phone or your Galaxy phone from Galaxy Book. But you can locate synced SmartTags from either device.

for what else: maybe some sort of benchmarking video for different games?

@@hoyoungwon but is it powerful to thinking about editing video in pp or other :

Many youtubers have done a proper side by side battery test against M3 Macbook, Intel core ultra laptops and X Elite has 10-15% better battery life than Macbooks and 40-50% better battery life than Intel. So that definitely does not corroborate with your findings.

I get that but again, this is a real-world test with my typical general usage so it's the actual battery life I'm getting for my own use cases. It's not a constant video playthrough test or a continuously cycling benchmark test. Those are important results too but for many users, it really depends what their apps are and how they use their device, which will ultimately determine what battery life actually is like for them. For my own cases, I'm currently not seeing mind-blowing results.

@@hoyoungwon Problem with your test is that no two days even by the same user see the same use case scenario. Network, brightness, display type, exact apps in use and their exact duration will greatly vary the results even by same user. Infact you did not provide clear perspective when giving vague statement like - this or that gives similar battery life

No commentary no fun

Apple’s battery percentage is a joke. It reduces too slow during the initial times and then goes faster once it reaches the lower percentages. I creates an illusion that the apple laptops stay longer.
