Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16" CoPilot+ PC Review

[@mobiletechreview]

Thank you to Best Buy for sponsoring this video! Check out the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge here: go.magik.ly/ml/2396z/

[@azmedz]

Yay, Best Buy is sponsoring you guys you deserve it Lisa from Mobile tech review!!! 🎉

[@RAGHAV4882]

Been following this channel for a while and ngl this has become one of my go tos for no nonsense review. Love and respect for how she handles her firm takes and is descriptive for all the right questions

[@Syres20]

You're my favorite reviewer, thank you for plain talk and ready to follow play by play

[@stefansimonka]

The Lisa-effect 🔥

[@torpedospurs]

That teardrop harks back to Samsung's venerable Series 9 laptops from ten years ago. They were great devices.

[@cesar_otoniel]

I find Lisa to be the most reliable reviewer out there. Your videos go straight to the point.

[@Jadenk10]

Love Lisa reviews!! Been watching her since I was a kid

[@bradsterrrrrrr]

Been a long time viewer and always appreciate your detailed reviews and your perspective on technology. Thanks Lisa!

[@raciallyconfused]

Don't mind me. Just dropping my like to support your channel.

[@bicillinjw]

I originally purchased the 14" version and ended up taking it back for the Surface Laptop. However, couldn't deal with the IPS display after having the OLED. Went back to Best Buy and purchased the 16" version yesterday when it went on sale. Love it! I appreciate having the USB type A port and the micro SD. Plus the extra screen size is nice. The footprint of the 16" is substantial, but it is so light and thin that I think it will be manageable. The CNC work on the Surface Laptop is more premium, but the overall package on the Samsung...for that price...is unbeatable. Thanks Lisa!

[@franklong6269]

I check in your videos every once in a while and I remember when you only had 40K subscribers and you were getting snarky comments. I am SO glad to see that you have nearly a million subscribers, and I subscribed to help get you over the top even though I don't watch your channel that much. I wish you great success! Also, your hair looks very good.

[@hybridinfodesk409]

I've had a Samsung snapdragon ARM laptop since 2020. Still daily drive it. Unlike this one, there are no vents under the bottom. I have AI on my phone I never use. In fact, my weekly report says I use my phone about an hour a day down from 2 hrs. If I could still buy another one like it for under $1000, I would, but the going price for it is $1100 today on eBay. That's how good it is. Plus, it has cell phone capabilities with a sim card.

[@RobertTowell]

We just got new computers for our whole family. A few years ago, back in 2020. But this makes me want to get another one, even though we have good computers already.

[@kingbronny]

I have no idea why I am steadily watching this when I can't afford it now

hey lisa. your hair looks really nice! great review btw

[@troylong8489]

Great review. Which do you think is a better purchase. The samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge or the asus zenbook Duo( 2024)?

[@sebluketravis2438]

10:14 wow really looked like Hank Azaria with that pulled comical face haha

[@tj_enju]

Upgradeable storage is a basic requirement this side of the universe... some of us are using refurbished laptops that have been passed down through multiple previous users... and most people first remove their storage drives before selling off the laptop

[@andyH_England]

Instead of removing them, secondhand refurbs will be wiped instead, so I don’t see any issue with Non-upgradable storage for personal use. Obviously for business and enterprise then it is essential to have removable storage.

[@hybridinfodesk409]

That's what ports are for. Have you ever heard of them? And it has a microSD card slot. One of my laptops has a 2nd slot never opened it up. Guess I could, but I already dual booted it since it has a large HD already.

[@ettcha]

I managed to keep a laptop as my primary machine for 11 years thanks to upgradeable ram and storage, and it wasn't strictly new when I got it. Removable storage isn't just good for privacy, it's a key part of longevity.

[@hybridinfodesk409]

@@ettcha Actually better if you know what you are doing. The newer tech I don't want. Especially a neuro genisys is skynet chip. The older the tech the easier to lock it down.

Everyone uses OneDrive anyways... Wipe the local storage. You'll have all your files on OneDrive

[@jeannellerivera6110]

Hi. I just bought this amazing laptop last Thursday. Is there any word on if we will be able to download printer drivers? I'm hoping so. If not, I will have to exchange it. :(

[@Nate-zy5ce]

As always a good review. Worth watching. A question. Where does Samsung place this Book 4 Edge in its lineup versus the Book4 Ultra, Pro360 and Pro? Is it considered a higher version, lower, what? Thanks. I have been considering the new Dell XPS 16 (I currently use an old 17), but thought I'd consider one of the 16" Book4's, maybe the 16" Book4 Edge, since I'll likely be getting a Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra soon, and maybe that shared ecosystem might have some advantages.

[@ChuspinSpain]

What does she mean by "Samsung special sauce"? What app is she using to link the laptop and the phone?

[@michaelbabiuk8758]

Nice review as always. There is one point on the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge that I have seen reviewed on three other occasions and each reviewer noted that, '' under load" that pushes the fans to really rev up, that the reviewer could hear - in addition to the the load fan noise in general - a "whining or clicking fan sound as well. Curious if you noticed this observation as well.

[@mobiletechreview]

No whining or clicking fans on our units. That would merit a mention if we'd heard that. Fans don't ramp up that much for more intensive work, at least not when compared to x86 laptops.

[@Litotes_89]

My 14 model does in fact has noticeable coilwhine

[@diegoragnar]

Thank you for another great review! Does the webcam support Windows Hello?

[@mobiletechreview]

Nope, Samsung doesn't seem to be a fan of that feature (perhaps because it's less secure than fingerprint).

[@JanNiklasBenn]

Hello, yoga Slim 7X X Elite 32GB vs M2 Pro 16GB Iam currently deciding which machine to get but aim kinda unsure. Iam a cs student and software developer and the machine should def be powerful enough for my workload.

[@Block-yc6bh]

no upgradeable ssd?! What happens when the HD fails and needs to be replaced?

[@melahi94]

Thank you for this video. I was actually up to buy this laptop, but I was looking for a video showing it inside towards a possible upgrade, but definitely having everything integrated in the motherboard is totally not going for me. Surprisingly Microsoft is doing it way better with their Surface in that regard. I'll take the Asus option instead, as I can get it cheaper with 32 Gb RAM and 1 Tb upgradable SSD even when it comes with the X Elite 78-100.

[@joshreyes4647]

i know im nitpicking but for a company that makes great displays on tvs and smartphones, that bottom bezel on the laptop doesnt really look samsung like

[@kaltimoktober]

Wait Samsung got the highest end Snapdragon X Elite but no storage upgrade is possible :) Well then I guess I'll settle for the X1E-80-100. 200Mhz v Removable storage? I can't do it.

[@mvevitsis]

What is it with Samsung and gross bottom bezels... With the rounded corners it just looks awful.

[@akin242002]

I like mixing it with your phone feature. Still too many app drivers not available to buy any Copilot+PC just yet.

[@hackercoolio]

I am wondering if qualcom is going to release and x elite Ultra

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Hey Lisa. I would be really interested in a snack down between the iPad pro m4 and the surface pro 11 especially since you're an artist. Good video on the galaxy edge video though as always

[@ricardocorte8055]

Are we getting a Surface review too?

[@mobiletechreview]

Surface Pro 11 review coming soon!

[@redoctober2026]

No joke that SSD is not upgradable. Samsung, what the F are you doing?

[@scottlo3621]

Copycat of MACBOOK series, fixed RAM, fixed SSD, if you need more storage, just 200 USD for a higher model. What if SSD defective? just upgrade notebook to Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Edge or 6 Edge. You can't keep using this notebook even performance isn't bad after 5 of 6 years but if SSD defective. Samsung just protect herself but not customers.

[@JerryAnsahAyim]

Always with the killer shirts!😎 I can't see you though... the cloak is working just fine.

[@hybridinfodesk409]

The only way I would buy an ARM laptop today would be NO WINDOWS OS, and that copiliot button be a dedicated bios menu button.

[@BurnsRubber]

Irony is I haven’t seen any videos popup reviewing the linux experience. Dozens of Windows “copilot” reviews that play more as advertisement. Microsoft has a lot invested in this.

[@luigibru8677]

I wait till more apps will be ARM native

[@venusvip]

BOOK 4 ULTRA OR BOOK 4 EDGE IS MORE POWERFUL?

[@popeye82]

I've bought and used both, returned the ultra, using the edge right now...edge feels faster when doing anything like opening a browser or switching windows. When going back to intel everything feels like it takes a second longer. Edge is more instant. Edge really sucks for games but if you're a digital nomad then edge is SO much nicer to take with you travelling around. The ultra would be super heavy to travel with in a backpack. The edge also only has 16gb of ram. I'm still not sure if I will keep it or not because there are pros and cons to both.

Finally, someone famous has the same hairstyle as mine

[@ashchbkv6965]

[@benjamina6915]

My 4 year old laptop has excellent standby time, don't see how that's an added value for an ARM processor. This is an interesting development, but only 16Gb of non upgradable RAM and the too high price, is a pass for me.

[@gebauzchris]

If they ever made a 360 version of this with S Pen support, might be really tempted.

[@marksmith9566]

Have you tested 64vbit Intel/AMD programs in emulation. The last version on Arm failed on these!

No Copilot + for me, but thanks for your videos in general. I do not install spyware on my computers, now that I know. I do still have an installation of Windows 10, and it will be my last Microsoft operating system. I have stripped out it's telemetry to the point it occasionally does not work right, but so be it.

[@iMichaelBrien]

I just returned the 16" model with the Snapdragon X Elite, it's clear Samsung wants to compete with Apple and Microsoft but they have many issues to fix. The track pad on both models are too big, however the trackpad on the 16" it's ridiculously HUGE and interferes with the typing experience. The speakers are absolute garbage and when Dolby Atmos is turned on they're unlistenable, as they became so bright, tinty, and overdriven. Please Samsung, stop placing a needless 10-key on the right hand side of the keyboard, no one uses it and the shift in the keys coupled with the HUGE trackpad make tying unbearable. The promised battery life is not remotely true. I had every energy savings category turned on and never reached even an approximate value of what's promised. With all of those energy saver categories enabled I could still watch the battery percentage quickly drop. I have a 13.6" Macbook Air (M2) that's a year old and it's battery was defiantly surpassing the Samsung GB4E while performing the same work side-by-side. So, after attempting to use the Samsung, a Lenovo 7 2-in-1, and the Dell 16 2-in1, I have retreated back to Macbook Air. The PC laptop market is a disjointed mess.

[@Fergunator]

Can’t wait for arm cpu and amd or nvidia gpu for some gaming

[@pythonkill3r]

Been waiting for Lisa's reviews for the Copilot+ PC's to decide whether its time to give the MacBook M1s a chance since they're cheaper vs. The ARM Snapdragon for editing and based on the price-to-performance and battery life, ill probably go for the MacBook if the other Copilot laptops aren't blowing this out the water (plus minus the recall "spyware"). Seems like these are just fad prototype "NPU" laptops with AI plastered on it, which im already sick of.

[@Berserkism]

Other than the "AI" portion of the M1 not being readily accessible, given the ecosystem, it's probably still the better deal. This hype train was off the rails a long way back.

[@santiniperico8627]

at $800 it would be a decent purchase

[@psxtuneservice]

$400 for a low power laptop, that is mosly incompatible with software/driver and cant be upgraded, cant even swap a broken SSD. Buying a real laptop and an Android tablet will save money and bring more performance

[@alexandermyrthue1987]

2 hours more battery life is worth NOTHING It is disappointing

[@hosseindianati7798]

I personally find the GB4 pro 16 more valuable. Upgradable SSD, no compatibility issues, and not much less battery life. That thing lasts for 8 hours of daily use and 10 to 12 hours of watching movies. Edge has better cooling and better standby for sure, but thanks to Microsoft, its advantages are not that significant. Maybe a 3rd gen.
