Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 14 REVIEW: WTF SAMSUNG?

[@andrewmarcdavid]

**CORRECTION** Some of the graphics list the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 when they should Read Galaxy Book4 Pro. It was a typo and all tests done were with the 14" Pro model.

[@GalaxyBoy_uz]

Can you review Galaxy book 4. And. Book 4. 360°

[@charliebucket-u7h]

What was the cinebench score multi. Was multi 430 or 570 Your first graphic was 574 against mac but 433 on chart against other laptops

[@SrisairamRajasekar]

I usually use KZbin without logging in but I purposedly logged in to comment on your review. I watched 100s of reviews over many laptops and this is the best review that I have seen. The way you gave disclaimer about non-sponsor and company sent product felt credible to continue watching the video. The way you covered all the topics and comparison with the previous generation, competition, everything is good about the video. Thank you and keep doing good video like this. I am looking for a laptop which is light weight, has less heat and good performance and definitely not MacBook. I am not into gaming or graphic related activities like photo//video editing. I mostly work on coding, browsing, and office applications. May be I'll play games sometimes but not even occasionally.

[@Shlokiee]

Could you compare the 14 inch ultra 7 laptops like the zenbook 14, spectre 14, galaxy book pro 14 and the macbook air m3 please? It is a really confusing space to choose from.

[@gnikhil1987]

Thank you so much Andrew. Been waiting for your review.

[@tislam410]

Thanks Andrew, I have this set to arrive tomorrow for myself. There was a pricing listing error on Amazon's Samsung Page Front a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to spot the error and scored this for $999 USD for the 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD version. Negatives aside on the actual horsepower, I do like that this has two m.2 slots as I bought two samsung 990 pro's with 4 tb each. I think that's one major silver lining with this laptop, because I'll be able to upgrade it from 1 TB to 8 TB in total capacity with relative ease. However, if I was paying "normal" market pricing i.e. $1749, there are many better options out there - namely the Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 is hands down the best bang for buck on the market right now imo.

[@ArnieDub]

I found the same error in the price and mine arrives on Tuesday (Florida), I was thinking of canceling the purchase, but seeing that it now costs $1749 I think it is a good birthday gift. By the way, on Ebay a prominent seller from Korea has the 32 GB ram version for the same price as this 16 GB one (1749)

[@tislam410]

Hey @@ArnieDub I received mine today because of delayed amazon shipping but I'm loving it so far. I was able to upgrade it from 1 TB to 8 TB storage in literally 30 minutes as it was super easy to do with instructions videos on KZbin from Galaxy Book3 Pro from last year (the design and internals are the same basically). The Laptop was $999, and then I paid $500 (for two m.2 4 TB samsung 990's). Altogether I spent $1520 for the 14 inch pro with 16 GB RAM & 8 TB Storage + Converting the spare m.2 1 TB drive that the laptop came with to use as external drive (purchased a cheap $20 m.2 enclosure on amazon). Pretty good deal all things considered.

[@DrGiulioski]

Lenovo is related to China's CCP Party and forbidden in our company and too risky for the backdoors. Moreover Lenovo is in trouble even in China homeland. Even for my personal use I wouldn't buy any Lenovo product anymore. Years ago it was a good brand but in the last years everything changed.

[@DiaaDias]

Hey there! Great video. I'm watching from Brazil and just bought the Galaxy Book 4 Pro after doing a lot of research. The only thing I’d add to your review is that, at least here in Brazil, this laptop is actually the most affordable option among the ones you mentioned. Considering the price, it offers a lot of premium features at a reasonable value. It might not be the best, as you pointed out, but it's definitely the "cheapest."

Love your reviews, it helped sway me into purchasing the 16 inch galaxy book 4 pro - one question, have you had issues with updating windows with the version 23H2 update? Mine keeps crashing, cant figure out if its an issue with the laptop or windows itself? Keep up the great work!

Had that happen on my Book 4 Pro 14" also. This happened after the firmware update and even when doing a factory reset it would crash so I ended up returning it.

​@@gunit3333I didn't tinker with it enough to tell if it was just a bad windows update since my GalaxyBook 4 Pro ended up bricking when doing a factory reset. Doing a clean install would be too much trouble at that point so I just returned it to Best Buy and have Samsung deal with it. I would guess it came from A bad firmware update because none of the crashing started until after that update.

@@dfksjiovcklxnlk That makes sense, i was looking online over the weekend and saw a post that they released a driver update and once that was installed it was finally able to install the 23H2 update without crashing...but I think given your situation you definitely made the right call

Thank You Andrew! Do you think it's a good buy for $999? I found the 1 TB version with Windows Pro on Amazon due to a pricing error. I was thinking about canceling but I think it's okay, right?

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Yes good deal at that price

[@droetkaar]

Very nice review, thanks! Quick question: Since the book 4 pro is almost 1900€ here , I currently think about buying the book 3 pro (for about 950€). This version only got 8gb of Ram tho. I just want a nice, premium feeling laptop that fits in my samsung ecosystem and I mostly do light office work and browsing with it. Would you think the 8gb of ram is fine for me for the next few years or should pick a different galaxy book? Greetings from Germany!

[@andrewmarcdavid]

I have a hard time recommending 8GB RAM in 2024. Minimum should be 16GB.

[@droetkaar]

@@andrewmarcdavid Thanks for the quick reply Andrew! And okay, even for only light work? Because the 16gb versions are almost 500€ more expensive.. Another option would be the normal galaxy book 3 i5 with 16gbs, this doesn't look and feel as premium as the pro does, right?

Do you recommend it for someone into mobile app development (cross platform),?

[@emanueloliveira9054]

I'd love to see an attempt to boot Linux on this laptop. Just some basic checking like: - Does it boot a major Linux distro like Ubuntu or Fedora? - Webcam, touchpad, screen/keyboard brightness control and audio work? Things like that... Or even something like, just burn a distro in a pendrive and try to boot it. This would add a lot.

[@alphabasic1759]

The 512 GB drive is an issue, but I hope it's upgradable to a normal 1 TB drive. Sadly the X1 Carbon's can only take an SSD that have chips on 1 side. I hope that's not the case here. I'm an office worker most of the time but I dabble programming and as an architect do a lot with large Visio and other diagramming so it seems like a fit for all that. I also think it may be the most attractive (professional looking) of the 14" I've seen so far this year. Maybe as close to being a 14" MacBook Air as possible from a Windows world. I'm eager for mine to arrive.

[@Biswaslabs]

Is it have port to expand storage?

[@peppapewds]

Why does the performance vary so much between these laptops that come equipped with the same ultra7-155h (the swift go has double the multicore scores compared to the book4 pro despite having the same chip)

[@magnus9316]

I think you should be a little more critical with the scores at then end. You put a lot of effort in your videos and mention good points but the score you give doesnt really caption the good review and is not that useful. You mentioned the screen wobble and some flex in the keyboard and yet hardware gets 10 points. Audio seems pretty generous with 9 if you compare it to the mb. And the battery life was worse than a 2 in 1 yet again gets 10 points. (Battery size isnt a very good excuse imo, just put a bigger in?). It feels kind of misleading when you use a scale of 10 points and only use the top 3 numbers (minimizes the relative differences). But great video after all the review itself does capture what you would want to know.

Okay PC. Display is good. Camera and mics are good. Speakers sounded okay. Shallow key travel could be better. Port selection good. Do not mind with micro sd as many of these micro sd cards come with the adapter to full size sd. Flexability with adapter makes it a non issue in most cases. Bottom line is one is paying a premium price for the name SAMSUNG on this unit for a good pc, not a great pc. Personally prefer the HP Spectre over this. Great review as always.

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 14 is not a bad laptop as it has some nice features such as the Dynamic Amoled display, clear 1080p webcam and internal mics as well as the excellent quad speakers and good battery life. Aside from the positives, there are numerous negatives such as cost, RAM being soldered, screen wobble, shallow key travel, no haptic touchpad and the only option is the 512GB SSD option in the US. My opinion is to pass on this, choose wisely and check out Asus or any other brand with an internal graphics card which will always get you better performance overall. Excellent review Andrew!! 👍😁

Disappointed that Samsung has abandoned the 13.3" format. I own the Samsung Galaxy Book3 in 13.3" and it's the perfect size for serious study. It's also a 2-in-1 and, unlike most such devices, actually works very well for taking handwritten notes with a Samsung stylus. It also provides excellent interconnectivity with my Samsung S7 tablet, another great device. Battery life is exceptional for the little Book 3. Build quality is second to none. Yes, it still sports the ancient Intel Iris graphics set, but I'm not at all interested in gaming or video editing, so no pain there at all. Given that Samsung has abandoned the 13.3" format and I won't be able to replace the one I have, I'm going to look for one of the few remaining such laptops on the market and buy a second one as a backup device. No, it's not the 'pro' and it's certainly not the 'ultra' version and no, it doesn't sport Intel's latest chipset... but all that said, I wouldn't trade it for any on of Samsung's latest offerings. For the serious academic, it's just that good.

Again Glossy showstopper... However I am optimistic about anti reflective non-glossy screens Samsung demonstrated on their TV for this year. Hopefully that technology will come to their laptops next year. And they will find a way to move one of the USB-C ports on the other side. That would be instant order by me.

Engaging the algorithm to help the channel. Kudos for independent reviews!

Good review but now I can't get that trance rave music you use in all your laptop reviews out of my head.

[@ericklagdameo6475]

Great review, and man, you're looking really sharp. 🙂

Very disappointed in those new Core Ultra Mobile CPU'S. Intel fumbled the ball on these CPU'S in my opinion.

[@jacky3338]

16GB + 512GB for a $1500 laptop... That's outrageous

[@batdroid2705]

It's bonkers

[@HoldMyBeerFam]

Yea thats insane

[@painting_walls]

I thought the price/value score would be lower...

[@blaidd-ppga]

4299 for the 2tb ultra... Really thought of getting one when it released but not at these nonsense prices

[@HomiebeaR_]

In apple world, it's 8GB + 256GB

[@X1Y2Z0]

No ir camera! That’s basic specs for this price.

Plesse review samsung book 4 360 ( not pro)

[@Po_goes_brrr]

the hit to performance over others with a similar chip is a little dissapointing but considering this laptop is much thinner than the others i think it can slide, what really sold it for me was having legacy ports and the antireflective display while being this thin and portable, for my use case, this laptop checks everything I need and with student discounts it was less than the spectre and zenbook.
