I just got this device for a gift and I had some questions about it. So to confirm there is no way to use a pen or like to be able to do digital art on it without needing like a table to project to or like a drawing pad to attach via USB?
Thanks for this review! Very helpful because there is still little info around about the new entry level spec. I pondered back and forth between this one, the Book 4 360, and some of the competitors. Luckily my local store had a standard Galaxy Book 4 as a demo unit, so I could take a look. It‘s nice but it isn‘t WOW. Ended up ordering an Acer Swift Go 14 OLED instead.

Thanks for the great review! Im not sure whether to buy a book 3 pro 14 with 8gbs of ram for 850€ or the standard book 4 with 8gb of ram for 550€. I don't really do hard tasks with it but I like to have a premium feel... What would you guys do?
@mondscheiner_x
Ай бұрын
Go for the Book 3 Pro 14 if it fits into your budget. The most important difference is the AMOLED display of the Pro - definitely the one ‚premium’ feature you will notice every day. Also, it has Thunderbolt ports. And a bigger battery capacity. And it has a considerably lower weight. I consider the 16:10 screen aspect ratio an advantage as well (standard book 4 has 16:9), but that‘s down to your personal preference.
Hey, how do I decide if I want to go with the 5th gen or the 7th gen core? Is there really much of a difference between them if I get 16gb ram? Would really be a great help if you answer
@mondscheiner_x
Ай бұрын
If you perform tasks that require high processing power, then a Core i7 is more suitable for you. This could be video editing, 3D rendering, machine learning algorithms or processing large datasets, for example. For standard use such as office, streaming or browsing, any i5 is absolutely sufficient. It‘s not ‚generations’ by the way, just names for different levels within their range. i5 is mid range while i7 is higher performance.

Hey, Ill look into it!
This is Samsung's mid-range offering, so expecting it to be as feature-packed as the "Pro" models is a stretch. Due to Intel's restrictions on RAM (16GB minimum), Samsung cannot offer the Pro model at a price for those that cannot afford £1600, which is the vast majority of the world market. Apple's success with MB Air is due to its ability to offer a base starting price of £1100, which makes up >60% of its air sales. So, a mid-range 8GB offering is left to their mid-range devices. Despite the flexing Apple gets for 8GB base models, nearly all Windows premium brands, including Dell and the Surface line, do the same thing. Still, we rarely see reviews of these as most reviewers are sent higher configurations. For the UK, the base is £950 for the 2024 Core 7 with 8GB/512GB, which is reasonable if at the higher end of the mid-range. However, it does not have OLED, 120Hz, or ARC Graphics. £150 more for the 16GB and the MX570. In the UK, that competes well with rival mid-range 16GB/512GB models, though there is no option for ARC Graphics of OLED/120Hz. You need £1600 for that privilege, which blocks many of us from the market. Ideally, I would have easily bought an 8GB/256GB Galaxy Book4 Pro for £1200; they had that option last year, but instead, I went with a base MB Air M3 for £1000 (which was on sale at Amazon). I do not need more than this config as I use it mainly as a Chromebook-like workflow. So wasting £400 extra on specs, which I would never need, is dumb and unaffordable. But I want a premium product for the next 5-7 years.

Huh? 8GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 6, and FHD on a 15-inch laptop in 2024. Not even worth looking its way at a Best Buy store. With Asus ZenBook 14 costing less than $1,300 USD and with 3.5k OLED screen, the competition makes the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 look worthless. Might as well give it away for charity. Even the 2023 version of Asus ZenBook 14X (without a dedicated GPU) costs less than $900 USD, and still includes 3.5k OLED screen & 120 hz refresh rate. Add on 16GB of DDR5 RAM.
