Hello Ella Good comparison between laptops Congrats on your upcoming graduation My advice on 💻 and 🖥️ security in college/university and after college/university You SHOULD set your Mac and or Windows laptop and or desktop login screen to display the username and password fields when you first turn them on and or log out of your system(s) In macOS you go to Settings>Lock Screen> change the "Display login window as:" to Username and password In Windows you will need to go to the local security policy go to local policies go to security options scroll down to the "Interactive Logon Don't display last signed in and enabled that policy then sign out and restart your computer to be extra sure that policy takes effect I would also recommend UPGRADING your Windows license to Windows PRO because you get BitLocker and the Encrypting File System Just my piece of advice for better security

[@barry4647]

By far the most well done review and comparison against a major competitor I've seen. Kudos and keep up the good work!

[@arka6302]

U can actually have spotlight in windows by using power toys

[@arka6302]

I am highly thankful to you for providing such a detailed review I was looking for a comparison review between these 2 for long time and thankfully you have covered all the aspects!

[@harrison00xXx]

You literally compared a overpriced, yet very limited casual user and/or apple fanboy MacBook in 13,x" to a 16" "convertible". Take the M1/M2 16" MacBook Pro and it wipes the floor with the samsung device in every laptop aspect.

[@cammiluna]

I switched from older 2-in-1s to a macbook M1 and then from a macbok M1 to the Galaxy Book 3 (non-pro) 360 and that made me love 2-in-1s more than I ever loved them before. The non-pro doesn't have 3K or a high refresh rate, but it's comfy and easy to hold as a tablet and doesn't have numeric keys shifting the keyboard/trackpad to the side. For me, it's worth the tradeoff.

[@harrison00xXx]

I didnt really like the tradeoffs. I tried my mums Lenovo Yoga 14" convertible, it was not the best experience (too small as laptop, too big/junky as tablet,...) but somehow nice to have both, especially for studying i looked into it despite not liking the idea of AiOs. Still, i got a Surface Pro 9 and thought it can be a good studying and basic task laptop and tablet, but it was even worse (despite more expensive...) than my mums Lenovo! I ended up to just stick to a dedicated, powerful laptop (16" M1 Pro) i had anyways already and got for notes, pdfs etc an iPad Air 5. This decision could not have been better. The 16" MacBook Pro serves as perfect notebook and desktop via USB-C Hub and external screen, and the things its completely incapable of (touchscreen, pen support, super compact/lightweight,...) or at least bad/inconvenient to use the iPad is just superior with very few tradeoffs (but hard ones partially!)

[@mihirojha4475]

​​@@harrison00xXx ........ I mean..... The 'solution' you gave costs like at least double that of the non pro Galaxy 360, so it definitely isn't a 'trade off', you just spent more than twice to get what you wanted. And that is fine, but it is not exactly comparable in terms of price to performance at all. Edit: granted, the performance on the M Pro Macs is just excellent and can only be bested by Galaxy Book Ultra (which has one of the best GPUs) which is way too costly lmao so good for you.

[@drackse1748]

I wish the smaller version had a better display with higher refresh rate :/

[@orfidius]

Just got the Dave one, and I'm having a similar experience. I don't feel underserved as either a tablet or a laptop. Perfect for my specific use car but maybe not for everyone.

​@@channingboy6456 gaming on the Mac? Lol no. If he needs gaming then a Windows gaming laptop is unbeatable, as it can be bought for cheaper too. Although yes, it does trade off the nicer display, lighter weight, build quality, battery life, etc. But it will be a lot more powerful for sure and have the support for all games, unlike MacBook.

Love your reviews, Ella. You are straight-forward and honest. Been following you for two years now.

[@blackoutedmind]

Ella! This is my first contact with your channel and I loved it!! I was searching for a good non-biased review of this laptop to take notes and do some coding on it. As a computer science student, many tablets aren't good for it. Your video is very good, It sums up everything you need to know about this laptop and you have done a great job comparing it to the macbook. I loved the battery review and the bonus you added of the ecosystem was the key! As a Samsung Smartphone user myself, i was worrying how does it performs, and even with your short review was enough to know about it. Keep with this kind of videos!! Definitely subscribing!

[@nafeeahnaf6296]

CS student here and am considering switching to Book 4 360 because of this reason

[@apexresidences6815]

Great review. Thanks. My main concerns about this are its lack of anti-glare/anti-reflective coating, especially since its brightness only rates up to 400 nits as you pointed out, and the looser hinge. I'd also prefer that the hdmi port was at least 2.0 or better still 2.1, instead of the much older hdmi 1.4 that currently comes with it, but since there is a workaround for that, namely using an adaptor in one of the thunderbolt 4 ports that's not a deal breaker for me. Another review did reference that they found if you put it into hdr mode then they got over 500 nits so that would help, but I haven't been able to prove that myself not having purchased one yet. I love that you don't have to charge the pen, thanks for mentioning such small details that no one else does. Very useful, very solid review. Thanks. Oh, and congratulations on your graduation nearing. You are going to have a great future!

[@Nameless01153]

You wrote exactly what I was thinking but not about the loser hinge. If the hinge isn’t looser then normal ones it’s harder to make it fold and at that point why make it slim and foldable

[@2000jalebi]

Anti glare makes the screen look worse though. Personally I prefer glossy always, very rarely you pull out a laptop in an outdoor environment.

[@jasonjiang4640]

As a user of both Apple and Samsung, I really like those kind of comparison videos in between Samsung and Apple because sometimes I need to chose the devices I want, sometimes Apple is better and sometimes Samsung is better, it's really hard to determine with just a glance in the local store. Your video gives a very straightforward comparison in between those two top brand in electronic industrials. Thanks for those fancy video, it's very helpful for me!

[@nataliavanegas8285]

I'm a xiaomi user rn but i want to switch to apple or samsung, what would you recomend me for phone, tablet and pc?

[@oh-noe]

@@nataliavanegas8285 it all depends on what you are going to use them for

[@tan_a006]

​@nataliavanegas8285 As a Samsung user I'd recommend any of the lastest flagships (S22 or S23 till the S24 cones out), a tab S9 Ultra and a book 2 or 3. If you don't care about tablet size get a Z fold 5 which is both phone and tablet at the same time eliminating the need of the tablet For apple anything from iphone 13-15 there's not much of a difference so no need to get the latest since they're all solid, an ipad 2 generations older can still do what the latest gen ipads can do so lastly it's the laptop....M1 or M2 will both be fine. You'll just have to pick the air, max or pro depending on what you really need it for

Tested out the 360 Gen 3 in store. Build quality is amazing. Keyboard and trackpad have also improved a lot from previous generation. Only problem is that the 16 inch is much better than the others. I think its the only one with OLED too and dedicated GPU. Correction: I believe the other versions have AMOLED displays but are limited to Full HD 1080p.

You're one of the most objective reviewers I've seen.. that's very refreshing And for the search option, you can get something similar to macos with power toys on windows

[@Muwahid999]

Yeah , powertoys comes with dozens of other features too

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

Very thorough, and it's nice to see a user do a review where they aren't swayed by Apple fanboy loyalty and actually do an objective review where true functionality is mentioned. She doesn't even pretend that the Samsung pen isn't better than the Apple pencil, she just comes out and explains why it's the best for her. Also, it's time to admit that Samsung makes the best displays in the business right now, from phones to tablets to laptops to TVs.

[@Idontcare69696]

Funny considering it’s always the Samsung fanboys

[@alexspencer5478]

It's a little ironic how you mention apple fanboy loyalty but then you turn around and express the same attitude as a Samsung fanboy. It is ok to admit when one company does something better than their competitors, and it is okay to have personal preferences overall. Just don't hide subjective preferences as fact!

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

You have to use critical thinking skills. How often do we stare at bookmarks to see how powerful an M2 or M4 chip is. Then realize that in functional real world use that means practically nothing. I work in IT. Close to 90% of my users are using Parallels and VM Ware on Macs, to run Windows devices. Practically none of them do video editing. But...they get drawn in by the hype and will constantly overspend on Apple devices with this odd belief that Macs are somehow better. Across the world (Yes...the US isn't the world.) Windows PCs are the single most popular devices in pretty much every industry. They are easier to join in Azure domains, and patch. Despite their imperfections. And this idea of quality control might have been important of Macs many years ago, but it's no longer the case. The likes of the Surface laptops and they Dell XPS series, in addition to Lenovo's business machines, have demonstrated a major shift in the quality of many Windows PCs over Macs. I have owned Macs and worked on them. One of my longest running Windows PC is a Dell Vostro, which is over 15 years old, and has never given me any issues, other than it's heavy. Macs don't own the standards to top line quality any longer. They haven't for a very long time. Anyone can feel free to use whatever PC they want, but those old ways of thinking about hardware and how good they are, no longer apply.

Great video Ella, very honest, very passionate and enthusiastic, informative and you have definitely helped me make my decision concrete.

Think I will stay with the Tab S8 Ultra for another year or so and then see what samsung are upgrading on their laptops. The Tab S8 Ultra is a great hybrid, thanks again.

[@orange25i]

Great review as always! Didn't you have a Galaxy Book 2 in 1 back then? I think you are one of the few tech reviewers, who are actually unbiased regarding OS, because you are really using these devices and win/mac/android extensivley in real life. For me MacOS is a no go, because of specific software I use everyday, as well as the need to be able to draw on a full fledged OS.

thanks for watching!

[@deneguil-1618]

samsung has done a very good job with their thin and light! the only thing i would like to see would be a ryzen version, something like a 7840U which is both faster and more power efficient than the 1360p in the current version while also having a *way* better iGPU would be amazing early leaks are also showing intel's 14th gen will improve on the iGPU a ton to the point where OEMs are debating whether it's even worth putting lower tier GPUs in laptops so they might be a good option if they manage to tame the battery life

[@HDRPC]

It is already almost same as efficient in most tasks. Samsung is going to use meteorlake chips and meteorlake is lauching in October 2023 with way more efficient than anything on the planet.

[@harrison00xXx]

Is power really that much of a concern? I tested once a Lenovo Yoga in 14" with a Ryzen 3200u and Vega 8 iGPU, its my mums "notebook". Sure enough the CPU is a bit limiting for some things but Vega 8 is just powerful enough for a convertible, Its a pretty perfect compromise out of performance and weight unlike many bigger and heavier convertibles. I mean, as much i was thinking in the beginning "overpowered for no reason" with the iPad Air 5 with M1, i actually like to have not only much headroom and free RAM for open apps in background without reloading etc, but also a super snappy and fast system despite just being a tablet. I dont even think these 2in1s make too much sense for many people, mostly they are to small laptops and too big tablets. Thats why Apple doesnt even care about this market, technology isnt ready yet to make it conveniently possible (for example a super thin, foldable device for 11 or 15-16" and KB attachment yet enough processing power and battery life)

[@harrison00xXx]

@@HDRPC "with way more efficient than anything on the planet" 1) "with way more efficient than...." ..... efficiency! 2) just nope... actually ARM chips are too much ahead in efficiency to beat ANYTHING with x86 architecture. But i would love to see a radical efficiency jump on x86 platforms, it would give affordable gaming, considering PC games will rely for longer on x86 good hopes. Just because with increased efficiency they would drive the chips higher for more "free" processing power in "lower end" models.

[@LuggageChestHead]

You see the screen wiggle when you make gestures while talking. This instability of the hinges makes it hard to use on for example flights or in the train and it just appears cheap. And the worst thing: you can’t really make use of the touch screen when in laptop mode, it will move too much under your finger. Surface pro kickstand and alike are the only touch screen architecture that makes sense without any wiggling. Also it’s horrible to hold a convertible with the keyboard on the back, detachables are light years better in tablet mode.

[@horseman1956]

Thank you for the excellent review of this product. I've been reviewing the Galaxy Book 3 series from Samsung and almost pulled the trigger on the cheaper 15.6" non-Pro version. It's on sale today at BestBuy with 16GB of memory and 1TB of storage for only $800. That's $600 off full retail. Your video demonstrated that the Pro version, also on sale, provides a much better screen experience. Yes, it will cost me $400 more than the non-Pro version, but in addition to the amazing screen quality, Samsung upgrades them memory from DDR4 to DDR5. I invest a lot of time taking handwritten notes on my Samsung tablet. The Book 3 Pro will be the first opportunity for handwriting that actually works! As you so well pointed out, handwriting on Windows devices is typically awful. Samsung has resolved that complaint and the larger screen of the Book 3 Pro will better allow me to split the screen between video/reading material and Samsung Notes. Thanks again for the great review and the insight it provided to help me make a final decision.

[@InternetProgrammer]

Wow, you covered it like a pro as a student. Good that you are graduating, I am sure you will do well. I wish it was Dell that would have made a laptop so good, I would totally recommend it to our Sales guy, and they would love it. Interestingly all the performance issue in a real workspace does not matter when you have an 8th gen or better laptop, they are more than enough and big corporations always need access to legacy apps which basically means no matter if it's an M2 or M3 or M10, workplace computers are going to be dominated by Windows laptop. Most users in a corporate environment have their laptops plugged in and connected to a dock with multiple monitors and use the laptop in laptop mode only when they are not really working but catching up with chats and emails. Sales guys are the exception and usually need a data card or puck and always a good mouse. (lol). I think a lot of people confuse the idea that Mac's are too expensive for a workplace. When you pay your engineer $100/hr., the machine is not the expense, however if he/she cannot do his job as the computer is not compatible with a software that has been the bread and butter of your workplace then basically that computer is worthless.

I'm thinking about getting a MacBook M1 or a Book4 360, but I'm worried the book 4 won't last as long as the Mac. I have a 10 year old MacBook pro and it's still pretty solid. Even the battery will last for about one hour. The only issue right now is when I open like 20 tabs on chrome and Spotify and zoom. Has anyone else made this change?

[@KRISHANU01]

OLEDs are very bad for work/study purpose. Generally laptop manufacturers are not giving DC dimming for their OLED and the screen flicker will definitely have its impact on your mental fatigue level , you may not be completely conscious about it. Just record your macbook screen and galaxybook screen with mobile camera and see the difference, when their brightness levels are medium.

Hi Ella, I use my M1 MBP 13" to do work at the office, Outlook, Excel, Chrome and Safari, KZbin, Coursera, LinkedIn and I do connect bluetooth headphones at all time. I do listed to music and podcasts too. When I do those activities, I tend to be able to use my M1 from 9am to about 2-3pm before charging and honestly I can probably do the full 9-5 and still have some 10-20% left, depends on how many Zoom calls I get really, no calls defo most of the day with calls around 2pm it needs charging. How would the Galaxy Book compare to that?

[@computerjanitor]

Sounds like it's more expensive, runs hotter and louder, and when unplugged is slower... I can see why you recommend it.

[@arshdeepmehta8689]

hey, great video, how is the note-taking of the galaxy compared to an ipad?

[@pinakmiku4999]

13.5” vs 16” is not an apple to apple comparison. Screen is one of the biggest factor you decide when shopping for a laptop

[@mikaelceylan]

15 inch macbook also has a 60hz display

[@neon_arch]

[@samsungshahil8941]

[@samsungshahil8941]

[@samsungshahil8941]

​@@PrymeBR do high-end or low end game support on MacBook?

[@champepang6824]

Hi 👋😊 great review

[@TechnoLawyer]

Man do the off center keyboards like that drive me nuts. Useful if you’re somebody who types a lot of numbers I guess, but otherwise just makes it so awkward. I’m impressed by the battery life. Not bad.

[@peterhirzel]

Well done usability demo

[@danawakes2001]

I've considered windows laptop in the past, mostly cause they have OLEDs. The issue is that once you unplug it from the wall, all the power goes with it - which kinda defeats the purpose of a laptop.

[@rouxenophobe]

Nice review. The Galaxy doesn't have a notch, so a big win!

[@Tyomni_Ritsar]

I like your honest reviews on Samsung Products. Everyone else sounds pretty sold out by Apple.

[@verveblack]

just bought this few days ago. what do you use for protecting it from breakage ella? it’s fragile apparently

[@fryfly5599]

does the screen have palm rejection when using it with a pen? I hate to have my wrist floating above the screen. And how good is the performance in silent mode? I'd like webbrowsing and taking notes to be possible on silent mode.

[@feuerherz007]

Im pretty sure it does. I have a sasmung tab s7 which came with the same pen and has palm rejection

[@jialong]

i feel old now, i started watching ella's video ever since she only had 15k subs

[@kangaroo4144]

I would never abandon Windows or Mac for Samsung. Samsung does nothing but masproduce and abandon support for its products. The only thing I will buy from Samsung is an SSD or a Tv.

[@the_greenmile]

well said!

[@khusniddinkholmatov9363]

I personally love all your videos because they are pretty informative, thus I bought Mac Air M2 after your suggestion, but you are graduating I am also graduating so I I might not use them a lot now, however screen is incredible

[@harrison00xXx]

Pretty bad decision... expensive Apple Fanboy toy 14" M1 Pro refurbished is the best decision (budget and price/performance king), better the 16" because you also get a nice big screen, noticable more battery and best speakers in its class. I am always wondering whats the point of a 13" notebook or tablet (or convertible).... it is a too big/heavy tablet and a too small notebook. Nothing goes (for me personally) over a 16" M1 Pro MacBook and a 11" iPad Air 5 for studying.

[@mauricelee2420]

Facing off between the slowest MacBook Air that is handicapped by its one SSD chip configuration with a top specs window laptop? Isn't really relevant... comparing thermals between fan and fanless device is like bringing knife to a gun fight, and many more...is there a sponsorship with windows or Samsung devices?
