Apple hate is getting blind. Apples keyboard is proparly placed even with a full sized function row and the trackpad is centered where it should be. Yes apple can do things better.

Nice battery life! I do a lot of writing and photo processing, so that big touchpad is going to be a dealbreaker for me. But yeah, I think there should be more options for ports on both sides, I can see how that would make it more difficult to cram everything into the chassis. Bigger isn't a problem for me because I love the nice screen real estate. My laptop is for working on, the entertainment options aren't all that important, but I can see how that would be an important aspect for gamers. As I move into making more videos, the camera recording options could prove valuable. Having a touchscreen on a laptop hasn't really been something I use as much as I thought I would, but my laptop is a 2-in-one and that's when I use it most. Also, being a 2-in-one, it lays flat for me to share something with someone on the other side of the table. The Galaxy share stuff is pretty cool, similar to how we can share stuff between Apple devices. Great review, very valuable stuff.

I have a question. Mine flickers for like a second sometimes when i start up or open the laptop after not using it for a while. Does that happen to you?

The ultra mega trackpad trend is definitely annoying. I have my pointer speed high enough that a huge trackpad isn't necessary, so it ends up just being wasted space.

What about compatibility? I was unable to run a java program with mine. Can we expect thoese problems to be solved within weeks?

I guess you the only one who pointed out the issue(Thank you) with big trackpad and uncomfort it brings for typing due to its size. Thats my concern ever since I saw this huge trackpad in 4series galaxy laptops

at the moment, u will buy for necessity edge4 16" or an hp 17" with 155h and 32gb ram, full hd? will use for coding

This one stands out for me due to the oled screen and its anti reflection technology samsung uses on the s24 ultra. Love the phone screen and might love this laptop more. But yes, i will be waiting for the next gen Snapdragon, haptic trackpad, SD card, change the usba to usbc on the right side and better speaker. Then it will be a real competitor to Apple or any other brands.

My main problem with the trackpad is not the size but the fact it is not centered at all

Not over reacting. The ridiculous trackpad size was my deal-breaker too.

Too many issues for me. Lenovo Snapdragon X Elite version is better. The biggest advantage is synchronization with a Samsung S23/S24 phones and using Lightroom & Adobe Photoshop on those cellphone photos.

Copilot is meant for developers. So, it's there for getting as much info off that laptop it can. Also, features, increased telemetry additions can be added on at will. Not the same as reprogramming the chip. But, utilizing the power of it for additions.

Thx for the video, how would you compare the OLED display to the ASUS G16 2024? I noticed that the Samsung screen is 8-bit and I believe the ASUS G16 is a 10-bit display.

I just have a question regarding if this will run da Vinci resolve smoothly or not ??

I'd like to see comparison of some x86 apps running on latest Intel laptop CPUs vs on Snapdragon. How good is the translation layer? Because many Windows apps are not getting an ARM port any time soon: it's not like anyone can drive the transition to ARM like Apple were able to do. Windows ARM will still be niche in 2 years, plenty of consumers and business customers will still be playing safe and buying Intel/AMD. Most devs are not going to port their apps to ARM for a tiny percentage of users.
