Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product if u don't want to photo edit things with the S Pen.

I honestly didn't know what to expect with these new AI line of Windows PCs, but I was pleasantly surprised, but also disappointed. THE HARDWARE Let's get this out of the way: These new Snapdragon processors are FAST. At least according to my benchmarks, The Snapdragon X processor in this Galaxy Book4 Edge is on par with my M2 machine. The screen is just the right resolution for its size and there are plenty of ports to keep you from needing to carry a dongle around. Battery-wise, this laptop is also impressive. With light use, I went for over a day before I had to recharge. Overall, the whole laptop is thin, light and gorgeous. Also owning a Samsung phone and earbuds, everything integrates nicely in its own ecosystem. My only real gripe on the hardware side is that the keyboard feels a bit stiff, the internal drive is disappointingly slow, and the speakers are about on par for laptop speakers. Nothing special there. SOFTWARE Again, this is a surprisingly fast and powerful laptop, and almost feels wasted on what I would call introductory AI features. Cocreator is a cool feature that many may not find useful beyond its initial novelty. There were some instances where it's interpretation of my drawings were quite good; but most of the time, the results were fairly AI-looking journeys into dollar store recreations of Picasso drawings. Similarly, the Studio Effects filters are pretty preliminary. There is one feature that makes your eyes appear to stay focused on the camera, but it often seemed like a creepy introduction to the Uncanny Valley. My favorite feature is Live Captions, which provides a language translation overlay as it listens to whatever is coming over the audio channel. This worked pretty well, although it was sometimes difficult to read the translation as the AI was updating its output to what it was hearing in real time. As someone trying to learn a language, this tool has been great! The CoPilot+ AI features seem like a work in progress. Hopefully there will be additional capabilities and refinements, but I can't fault the Galaxy Book4 Edge hardware for that. Essentially this laptop has the power, it's just waiting for the software to catch up.

Very easy setup. Allow about 30 minutes for setup and multiple reboots for Windows Update. There are several sign in options. You can use a PIN, Fingerprint Recognition or Facial Recognition. My computer wouldn’t allow me to setup Facial Recognition as I receive the error message “we couldn’t find a camera compatible with Windows Hello Face.” You need to choose if you want to have ESS (Enhanced Sign-in Security) OR external peripherals (Windows Hello) to sign in. ESS is more secure. You can modify this setting under SETTINGS – ACCOUNTS – SIGN IN OPTIONS. I left this at ESS and still does read my fingerprint. I never tried Windows Hello. This laptop utilizes ARM technology and I found that some programs do not install properly. The Snapdragon X Elite X1E84100 processor is amazing and clocks at up to 4.20 GHz. It also didn’t run hot, even after hours of use. 16 GB RAM works fine for me. And the 1 TB storage will be enough for most users. Included ports: 2 x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with Thunderbolt 4 1 x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 1 x HDMI 1 x micro-SD card slot 1 x 3.5mm audio jack Battery life was a maximum of 9 hours of regular use. On one day it maxed out at 7.5 hours. Good battery life but not as much as Samsung advertises. It is also very lightweight and easy to take along on a trip. The Sapphire color is very subtle – how about some bright colors Samsung? Beautiful display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung makes great monitors and TVs and it shows in this display. The screen is also anti-reflective. Sound quality is average for a laptop. The biggest flaw for me is the keyboard design. It sits too far back and is given less space than the touchpad. I prefer a mouse but use the touchpad sometimes. This keyboard requires adjusting my hand position when I type and is uncomfortable. The touchpad is sensitive and wrong hand placement will be considered an input. The numbers keypad is appreciated. There is also a dedicated AI key that will connect you to Co-Pilot. Co-pilot was one of my favorite features. I asked it to create a Mardi Gras poem and it did a great job. It was fun using the feature but it works better if you type what you are looking for than saying it. It is not entirely accurate if you are looking for news information as it doesn’t seem to compile the most recent information. It still had the Ruby Red Slippers thief as being tried in May; it should be this fall. A Mardi Gras poem written by Co-Pilot: In New Orleans, where the streets come alive, Mardi Gras magic, where spirits thrive. Masks and beads, in colors so bright, Purple, green, and gold, a dazzling sight. Parades roll by with floats so grand, Music and laughter fill the land. Jazz notes dance in the evening air, As revelers twirl without a care. King cakes sweet, with hidden surprise, Costumes and feathers, a feast for the eyes. From dawn till dusk, the city sings, In the heart of winter, joy it brings. Laissez les bons temps rouler, they say, Let the good times roll, come what may. For in this season, we all belong, In the rhythm of Mardi Gras, we find our song. Sharing large files is a breeze and they transfer quickly. Cocreator is a feature where you can create images in the Paint program using AI technology. It is lacking. I typed in a Mardi Gras float in a parade with a king and queen in purple, green and gold. The images weren’t of people, no float and no parade. A giant turtle with a purple pig on it’s back didn’t work either. Also, it crops the top of the heads. A simple elephant was ok. Another feature is Live Captions and that actually worked pretty well. Handy for those needing accessibility but still not 100% accurate. Windows Studio Effects is another great feature. It is especially useful for Team meetings and video calls. The Automatic Framing and Portrait Light really help you look better. You can also blur the background, maintain eye contact, etc… This is a very nice laptop. AI is just not there yet in terms of accuracy but that isn’t just a Samsung issue. Future updates will hopefully enhance these features. PROS: Processor speed Battery life (not as long as claimed) Lightweight / portable 16” Audio Jack Port options Co-pilot Windows Studio Effects CONS: Keyboard position Average speakers RAM not upgradeable Cocreator

Over all I love it. Pros: Insane battery life 10+ hours of mixed use.(compared to my old intel laptop 2-3hrs) The screen is fantastic, between 2 TV's 4 monitors and 1 other laptop in my house its still the best by a large margin. Processor is just as quick and snappy as you would expect a modern computer to be. Cons: Really the only con is compatibility with games and VPN software. VPN I use (PIA) is working on a app for Windows Arm so hopefully it wont be an issue for long. As for games anything that uses a 3rd party anti-cheat is currently dead in the water for now and everything else seems to be 50/50 chance of working. Overall its battery life alone makes it worth it for me personally, and realistically if your looking to play games get a desktop even if you get a laptop that can run games at even a playable frame rate your going to be tethered to a wall anyway.

Samsung has been putting out some solid laptops the last few years, and the new Galaxy Book 4 Edge turns out to be one of them. Mine comes with an excellent 16 inch touch screen, 3K resolution AMOLED version with 120Hz. This is the first thing that stands out once you turn the machine on via the fingerprint reader in the upper-right keyboard corner that doubles as the power button. Be sure to run all automatic updates during setup, but it doesn’t hurt to check manually for more as there may be some as well, before using. The Book 4 Edge is thin, but very solidly built with most of it being made mostly out of aluminum, which keeps it light but also very sturdy. The backlit keyboard has just enough space in-between the keys and just the right amount of give to make it very comfortable to type on. There’s a numeric pad and a large pad for navigation. Ports include a HDMI 2.1, and two USB-C 4.0 on the left and a micro-SD slot, USB-A 3.2, and headphone/mic port on the right. I would have liked though, to have seen one more USB-C on the right, as the included USB-C power cord that comes with this model is shorter than many, and it was a tight squeeze to get it from a close power outlet to the left side of the laptop to charge it. The quad AKG speakers work pretty well. More than what you need for daily tasks and to listen to music while working. 16 gigs of RAM is ok, though I’d like to see a little more at this price point. Having a decent 1080p (2 megapixel) web cam is good, and it includes “studio effects” so you can adjust lighting, background blur, and more during video calls; like many cams, the quality isn’t the best in lower light, but it’s better than many out there. Another build-in feature called “Live Captions” helps to translate other languages during video calls, narrowing the language barrier – it’s like a science fiction movie! Need some AI images or graphics? Go into Paint, and “CoCreator” will help you create them based on descriptions you give it. Copilot is now built in to this model with it’s own dedicated key on the keyboard and screen app. You can ask Copilot just about anything and it can give you an answer, write a song or poem for you, an email suggestion, and find photos (use responsibly). I find this feature very helpful. With all updates there’s still an occasional bug where I may ask it for photos and it’s blank, but reopening it seems to fix it. No doubt more updates will come over time as well. Overall though, I think this is a very neat and very helpful feature that saves a lot of time when you need some help looking things up or trying to figure out how to word things. The Snapdragon X Elite processor is new to me, but seems to handle whatever I’ve thrown at it. Photo editing, short video renderings, and of course, 4K video watching. The fan came on during video renderings, but it’s not obnoxious and quickly goes back down once you’re done. The graphics (Qualcomm Adreno) is built-in and not a dedicated video chip, but it hasn’t had any issues with what I’ve been doing. Battery life is rated at 21 hours, but this is subjective depending on what you’re doing. So far while I can’t rate a specific number of hours, I’d say with mixed use, I can get through two business days with it, give or take again, on if I decide to crank it up or not, how I adjust the screen brightness, or more. My complaints of the Book 4 Edge are nit-picky, but, I’d again like to see one more USB-C port on the right side, a bit more RAM for the price, and I wish they would have included a longer charging cable with it. So while not quite perfect for me, I’d still recommend the Book 4 to folks – it’s a good laptop. It’s built like a tank, has good keys, a great high res screen, and enough AI features to keep you creative for years. Thumbs up!

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge is a beautiful, lightweight laptop with a vibrant 16-inch touchscreen that makes everything look amazing. It's fast, responsive, and perfect for multitasking, handling work, streaming, and more with ease. The AI assistant, Copilot+, is a handy feature that helps you get things done quickly. Overall, it’s a stylish, powerful laptop that you will like.

Excellent device with great battery life and performance from the optimized Qualcomm chip, but unfortunately, that is also the device's issue. ARM-based support for Windows isn't fully implemented by all manufacturers yet, so while everything works fine on the device itself, you may run into issues with devices that plug in.

Good computer great screen great processor. Touchpad is a bit laggy and keyboard spacing is too wide IMO.

The laptop runs well and I enjoy the multiple performance modes. The Snapdragon chip does have some compatibility issues with niche or older programs but nothing that I exactly need. The integrated graphics make it unable to run any games well that have a "world" but can do some other games.

The Built quality is superb, and it's a really fast machine... but people should look first if adittional software is going to be installed, and see if it is compatible... mayor or general use software works, but something specialiced or that used old libraries wont even open or show errors at all.

Well designed laptop with great battery life. However, check to make sure that software you use is compatible with the ARM processor. Acronis backup software that I use was not compatible.

Works better than I expected, performance is very good
