    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    @@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?

    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).

    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.

    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. 🙏🏽
