Alex laptop review bingo:
1. "Absolutely fantastic"
2. "Exceptional"
3. "Very good"
4. "Love to see it"
Now I want watch more of his reviews just to hear more words and phrases to add 😅
5. "But I do wish"
6. "Pretty decent"
Have a great old day!
5. "Oooh fancy"
"It murders/slaughters/sh*ts on the face of it" 🤣
The pricing is intentional. They price it in the range of the more expensive macbook options to make it look like it competes there and then regularly put it on sale giving good discounts. Makes it look like a better deal.
The 4070 model with 32/1tb is already $2500 on discount.
It ruins the first impressions of the product
@@river. idk. It works wonders for apple
Also, I think Samsung is trying hard to make the laptop work as this samsung ecosystem thing. But problem is, no matter how hard they try, it's still a windows machine in the end of the day, and you can probably make one yourself with just downloading samsung apps from windows store and activating phone link on windows if you really want to immerse yourself into this ecosystem without buying this laptop.
@@josuad6890 yeah thats a good thing. Apples ecosystem is a major factor in price increases and anti consumer practices in the entire industry over the past decade roughly. Samsung is a main culprit of copying the bad shit from apple. Competition is the only thing keeping companies in check. Ecosystems on the level of Apples give them a semi monopoly status.
my jaw broke the floor when Alex voiced the price
what the actual hell samsung
Yep that's a big fat no sale for me also
its ok when apple does it though
Yup, I had guessed 1400 but not that high. My 10 year old dell xps had 16gb ram Qhd+ touch display 512 ssd and didn't cost that much!
@@jackking9700 because apple customers are brainwashed
It has a 4050rtx wtf are you thinking? @@Squeeonline
I've had mine for 2 weeks.
Samsung could immediately fix two issues out of the box:
1. Have Dolby Atmos defaulted to "on" - I was disappointed with the audio until I figured out it wasn't on. I've only seen one review that points this factoid out. If reviewers are missing it, the general public sure as heck will.
2. Trackpad driver - definitely needs an update even after the recent update. Would also love to have an option to limit right click to a smaller section of the track pad.
Otherwise, really loving the machine.
I will say, I got mine through the discount program, which stacked on the "sale" they were running. Otherwise, the process would have been too much vs. the competition
Note 0:36 the sticker says "PC Development Sample (Not for office work)" and "Not to be taken out if the sticker is missing/damaged." It's a pre-production sample.
Huh. That's weird. They usually say that if that was the case no?
It has been out for months, so I doubt it will be pre-production.
@@andyH_England Not to be that guy, but you do know that media companies like LTT have a giant stockpile of stuff they've been sent and that it takes actual time to get to each thing, right? If there's no immediate urgency in making the video to hit a specific embargo, there's gonna be a queue before they get to reviewing the thing - and even then, it's *expected* that you give media ample time to actually play with the thing before they post their review.
0:08 “knowing Samsung they fcked it up somehow” why’s this so true?
I love Samsung but every now and then they make something and just make a U turn and mess it up somehow. I was SO excited for the Galaxy S24 to come out and when it did… it was exynos again…

Only 16GB of ram? For this price? For this Specs? Hell no...
If this were a Mac with the exact same specs (different CPU of course) they'd be slamming it saying it isn't enough. Gets a complete pass though here.

@@hellzofwar It's less than they would do to a macbook.
But hey.. "that's different"
@@SwordTomatoyou can get a MacBook Pro 14” for that price. It has 18gb of ram.
Samsung doing their Apple impressions!!!
Might be even more extortionate than Apple, to be honest. At least the new M-series MacBooks can last a week with minimal charging needed (I know cuz I have an M2 Pro thing and by golly it's a trooper). Though the fact that I have to pay more for RAM than I would a custom PC is the height of BS.
@@FlyingCIRCU175 getting only 16gb is a low blow, hopefully windows with arm is better
Yes and it comes with Windows... This pc will be dead in 2 years. It's a really bad move from Samsung i think.
@@jkul872ARM Windows will never take off unless Microsoft figures out how to run x86 programs on ARM at acceptable speeds. Apple killed it with Rosetta 2, people couldn’t tell between x86 and native apps. That’s why their transition was so smooth.

Pro tip with those Intel/Nvidia/AMD stickers. If there is adhesive residue still on the surface of the device, you can use the bit of adhesive that was properly stuck on the sticker to remove it super easy. Just continue dabbing the sticker on the residue, and the adhesive will pull right off after a few dabs.
The performance is exceptional for an ultrabook but I feel that it is a jack of all trades and doesn't do anything really well, it's definitely not worth that *UTTERLY RIDICULOUS PRICE.*
May as well just get a Mac if you're paying that kind of money, unless you need Windows of course.
@@TalesOfWar In many ways that is just as bad if not worse, especially the price to performance and repairability aspects, they're both just awful and anti-consumer.
@@Voltaic_Fire M-series Macbooks are not even close to awful. Price to performance is competitive in some tasks and less so in others, but, despite Apple's anti-consumer practices, they still offer something the rest of the market couldn't deliver for the past 3 years: a laptop with great unplugged performance that still has a great battery life.
This laptop however doesn't offer ANYTHING a cheaper laptop cannot offer: the same OS, the same specs, even the same screen.
@@LAndrewsChannel M-series Macbooks will go straight in the trash once SSDs on them die. They are ewaste waiting to happen. Made to be discarded, not last. Unless you have soldering skills, and even then better hope the SSD controller - which is, I think, in the SoC - doesn't die. If RAM dies, that will be the end as well.
People should really look at the long-term consequences of buying this sort of shit.
@@elu9780Nobody cares. People are going to buy the laptop and use it for 4-5 years. Nobody wants to think about whether in 8 years they can fix random parts when they know they’re better off just buying a new one anyway. If you care about this stuff, buy that Framework bullshit
*6 P cores, 8 E cores, 2 HE cores
This greatly frustrates me. It is quite misleading to say 16 cores because that implies all 16 cores are the same, and they arent. I mean you mention the TGP for the GPU, why not the CPU?
Yeah and knowing Intel naming schemes, from this gen on it will be impossible to deduct if the processor is any good at all even from the core/thread count. Same amount of cores/threads and one processor will have only two performance cores and a boatload of efficiency cores with HT while the other will have 6 or more performance cores with some efficiency cores.
Why even bother? It sucks anyway, no matter the config.
Core/thread count has never been a reliable way to differentiate processors. A 2-core processor made with modern technology will outperform an 80-core processor from 2006 in every single use case (yes, it existed, look up the Teraflops Research Chip or Polaris). That's why you should be looking at the generation number first, and then the tier it was placed at within that generation for a decent ballpark estimate of quality, and if you need real numbers go to actual benchmark records.
In the past few generations, intel has been getting incremental improvements in peak performance but at the cost of skyrockting energy costs and heat production; this new set went the other way by keeping similar (or slightly worse) peak performance, but using a fraction of the electricity to do so by using different kinds of architecture to solve different problems; the 'efficiency cores' don't exist to do more things at the same time, they exist to do the same things for cheaper. Also their integrated graphics are nowhere near as shitty as they used to be, but if you have a GPU you don't care about that.
@@sindrisuncatcher653 Intel could (and have) release different ratios of P cores to E cores and it all could be called "Alder Lake". It could be 1:1, 1:2 or even all E cores. No one in the phone space for instance says their phone is 8 or 9 cores, because its a bit misleading, they always list the configuration.
It is similar to AMD bulldozer in a way. It's misleading marketing. It is like saying a 4GHz P4 is faster than a 2ghz Athlon because "bigger number betterer". It doesn't harm anyone to clarify that only 6 of the 16 are P cores imo, so why not do it?
This needed to be stated in the video. They didn't even say which gen it was.
I just got Book Ultra 3 in Brazil, it comes with 32GB RAM and 1TB SDD as default. I don't know about other countries, but here you can find "good" pricing after some time. There are some discounts if you are a student and if you have a partner's credit card.
I have the Galaxy Book 2 13” from 2022 and it’s still running like a champ. I got it for a really good price at Best Buy and have been happy ever since
Galaxybook 1 user, still love my laptop and see no reason to update it anytime soon as my portable device

@@neggas- Book 2 Pro is actually a good deal though for the price to performance. It comes with 16 gigs of RAM (which is unfortunately soldered, but far better than the 8 gigs soldered on Mac)
@@mihirojha4475 Samsung laptops are one of the absolute garbage devices money can buy . They are insanely overpriced and barely competes with any similarly priced windows machines let alone M series Macbooks. 16Gigs of ram is a joke for windows . While macOS can run smoothly with half of it . I have an alienware M15 R2 16Gigs and an M1 mac 8gigs and i could argue that the 8GB mac destroys the M15 any day
Yes! It's smooth if you play solitaire 😆😆😆
Yo, so in the Netherlands, it's 3000 euros, which is like 3223 dollars. A Macbook Air M3 base model is 1300 euros here, which is like 1400 dollars.
Yeah Samsung is ridiculous
Not like base M3 Air makes any sense tho
@@vulcanitu2578better than Samsung by miles
That's not a fair comparison though, try running games on a Mac. This is absolutely Samsung's answer to the MacBook, with the versatility of windows for better or worse. If you're only going to use it for browsing or basic school work you'd be stupid to buy this. That's not the target audience though.
During the Crab Rave test, I thought, “not bad🤔” then you did the side by side with the MBP- I literally laughed out loud.
It's funny how Apple doesn't actually make any of these components and still manages to implement them better. I'm sure there are no patents on speaker implementation; these companies just need to copy what Apple does. There should be no such massive difference in such a basic thing as a speaker.
He was so shocked that even forgot traditional weight prediction part
Honestly felt like the Mac sounded much better.
That's because it does :)
The One Dollar mac feelings !
Tbh if you are a not a gamer, using a laptop for only basic and some creative works, you can just buy/use cheap 2020 M1 Macbook Air and it still can compete with current overpriced windows laptop at least for the next 2-3 years
With Samsung track record, it is easy say:
they will (hidden) screw up anyhow.
they'll mess something up with an update anyways
I love such laptop reviews ❤
That looks like the best laptop webcam I’ve ever seen.
This trend to micro SD readers on laptop is bizarre. I'd rather just have another USB-C port if they can't fit a full size SD reader.
Even Apple put full sized SD card slots on their laptops.
It's so absurb, and for me, unexpected. The fact we are using Apple's inclusion of an SC card reader is so damn backwards, these windows OEM have learnt NOTHING and keep giving us worse bang for our buck
Because apple truely caters to the creative media tech market
Its like they don't know which device needs this this feature.. Like Phones do .. but they cut it off
@@kadupseYeah I don’t think I’ve used an actual full size SD Card in like 5 years or so. It’s always just the micro SD Card with the adapter.
I totally agree with your sentiment about the Samsung Galaxy Ultra Book 4's price. It's baffling that it's priced so high when there are more capable machines available at lower costs.
Alex is such a great host. Thanks for all these videos - and I particularly LOVE his car reviews. What I especially like about Alex is how confident he is, and doesn’t seem to pay attention to the troll comments he got so much when he started!! People are freaking mean
When Alex started the sponsor segue, I thought he said "shart" 😅
1:02 That's what I've allways felt with samsung mobiles at low to mid tier pricing, amazing screen and that's about it.
I have the galaxy book 2. Not joking when I was looking to buy it two summers ago for college short circuit came out with the unboxing and review of the galaxy book 2 and it couldn't have been more perfect timing
Also they increased the price a LOT top spec 13" galaxy book 2 pro 360 was like $1500 US. so good thing I got the older one.
I just love this guys enthusiasm in reviews
I started the video thinking the price would be around $1599 then by the time you got round to the price I was thinking it was $1999 but $2400??? DANG!!!! How did they get to that number??
They probably priced it comparatively to the MacBook and will offer sales, pretty much 24/7, to justify this being a better buy than the similarly priced mac.
only thing ultra about this is the price
Thank you for the good review. I got what I wanted!
That really is a high price huh. It really doesn't make sense.
Edit: Seems like it's a very good screen, very good battery, everything else is just fine. Also they integrate well with Samsung phones and tablets. They are $2000 right now on their site but still.
Doesn't make any sense to go for these, and I say this as a Samsung fan. If you really want a portable laptop that performs really well get the G14 or the Legion Slim 5 14 (if you game) or get the Mac (which is cheaper now). I understand the draw of the ecosystem but the premium it asks for is not worth it IMO. Get a full fledged gaming laptop which should either destroy this in performance or get a 14 inch gaming laptop.
Watts... Because that means what(t) exactly? :D.
Also, tuned by AKG, which is owned by Samsung.
Thing seems to sound all right though.

I own one of these and I love it to bits, I use it as a programming system whenever I don't have access to my tower at home.
My only gripe is that it doesn't support SSC (Samsung Scalable Codec) for my Buds2Pro. (The requirement for SSC is minumim OneUI 4, which the laptop is running Win11, not any OneUI version)
At least, if it is supported, I can't find out if it's enabled or how to enable it.
Wow bizarre oversight on their part.
I like the clear sound but they could definitely use a dedicated subwoofer.
Just bought a yoga 7 pro with a ryzen 7 at 650$ new from Lenovo. Explain Samsung's pricing.

I think this is an interesting little device. The screen is smth really great and it being a samsung device it gets the samsung benifits (Samsung Notes, seemless change from phone to laptop and tablet and stuff. Yes, you can get some features on your normal device, but samsung notes doesn't work anymore on non samsung laptops since like 4 months and it really is bummer to me since I am taking my notes for uni on my Samsung Tab S7 FE). I saw someone showing off how u can use the galaxy book to control the laptop, your samsung phone and your samsung tablet at the same time which imo if you are in the samsung eco system might be worth it. It's like with apple putting their premium to get a good integration into their eco system on all levels, but the price increase for that is not as horrible as apple does it and in the end u still are running windows and can load whatever you want into it. Still would love it to be cheaper but knowing samsung well enough by now I can already tell it will be on sale regularly on their own store. What I would have loved to see were test on fan noise and battery life, those really didn't get any attention here.
conclusion -
get a g14 or g16 -
same display panel,
better performance,
better keyboard and trackpad,
better speakers,
9+hr of batterlife insted of 11+h on samsung,
very slightly better webcam on samsung and
save $500
I think the samsung is thinner and lighter
But thats it. Only thing it has to speak of
I use to think portability wasn't a issue for me until I got 2021_G14.
Never looked back since.

Considering what apple is giving me you I say this is a win. You get a tight ecosystem with Samsung related products, a dedicated GPU and a solid laptop with a great display. Don't apple price their products over 3k and don't even offer a dedicated GPU?
@2:30 ‘the Knox chip is pretty cool, a dedicated chip for security etc’. Yet when apple did that a few years back, everyone at LTT was complaining how it would hamper repairs and getting data off dead drives impossible. It’s literally the same thing but complete opposite reactions
That's how the industry works. Complain about anything Apple does but applaud when others follow suit. (Other than the anti-consumer BS)
Knox doesn't mess with repairs so it's not a big deal.

Go get last gens Galaxy Book 3 Pro instead. Also, within samsung's settings on the laptop you are able to enable Dolby Atmos. (This helps audio quality dramatically just like on Samsung Phones) They also have background and face effects that you are able to use on any application with the webcam. They also have Multi Control where you can drag files straight from your phone to the laptop. Second screen for samsung tablets, quick share, and SmartThings built in. Still doesnt justify the price for the Galaxy Book Ultra 4, but if you dont care about dedicated graphics last gens 16" Galaxy Book Pro 3 with integrated graphics gets good discounts. 2 upgradable M.2 spots are clutch as well.

I have to agree with this comment. It’s starting to look more review-y.

It's not really a review it's a first impression. They've stated that a lot in the past to describe what they want to show at this channel. Yes they actually test more aspects nowadays as they have the Labs team at hands, but they don't spend as much time and effort into it as they would for an actual review.

That's a scamsung price tag.
3:25 they took the apple rounded corner thing personally. See the s24+ as well
32gb is the minimal I would consider for a laptop these days especially at this price point. It's not as if memory is expensive currently either. Currently running a macbook pro from 2020 with 16GB and memory is the biggest problem and it's not even a m-series chip. When you start specing up 32GB and even 64GB Framework with it's bring your own ram is insane value
16gb is barely enough for web browsing let alone video editing with my many tabs lol. Thanks for comparing similar devices at the end there.
In the performance test result you should list the GPU and wattage of said GPU, 2024 G14 has three GPU, in this test I would assume your usuing the 4050 variant but that is just speculation and I have no way of knowing, regardless great video as always!

Fantastic
i bought the 13' Galaxy book3 360 and I specifically ordered it from the Us (I'm in CAN) cuz i REALLY didn't want the international keyboard
IDK why they ONLY use micro cards for the reader. Use full sized ones, which are not as common sure, but it takes almost no real space and allows for a ton more flexibility.
That price seems insane, even for Samsung laptops. And that’s coming from someone who owns a Book3 Pro 360 (and loves it)
The extra price I am assuming is the branding and ecosystem. Due to windows I would go for this over apple as atleast they won't trouble customer by making then buy every apple device just to make em compatible with the laptop

Im not sure if it's a Canadian thing with your model. I did get one Garten I get the government discount program in the US, I work for town. But I got the 4070 model.
It's a core ultra 9 185h, 32gb or ram, 1tb SSD, and a 4070, normally at the $3000 price. Not 16gb or ram and an ultra 7
Samsung pricing strategy is like going as high as possible, then give 20-40% discount immediately, also throw in a bunch of other free stuffs.
why would you get this instead of macbook pro? 1500 nits better cpu and gpu for the price and faster ram.
16gig of ram for that price... ouch. Do they at least provide spare parts on their site ? (screen, battery, kb, trackpad, MB, ... ? ) I could see myself upgrading the MB like the Framework and reusing the old MB for DIY stuff...
One thing that bothers me is the refurbishing possibility of those laptops. Would Knox get in the way if I want to hand down the laptop to my kids in the future ? Not sure what it is used for apart providing a separation layer between entreprise and personal apps/profiles on Android. And still, that's a vague thing in my techie mind. No Idea how that would work on a Windows machine and if it becomes a problem down the line.
Wouldv'e loved to see the 4070 i9 32gb version, just to see the best they'd have to offer and how they manage heat
Perhaps part of the reason for the increased price is that it is made in Korea and not China. At least their phones are. But for that price one could buy a Framework which is almost fully upgradable and repairable.
its $1599 with any samsung discount program. which usually reflects the real price it will be very soon, after early adopters fee's
for half price rn you can get the Lenovo Legion 5 Slim 14in Oled
you'd give up the touch screen but gain a 4060 and double the memory
also intel vs Ryzen
I use a Samsung laptop, and I thing that the key force depends on where you click in the actual key, the top part of the key is more lose
the samsung screen colors and brightnes looks really good on my laptop
Do you plan to review Lenovo yoga pro 9i 16” ?
Thanks !!
I'm a loyal Windows user (I dislike Macintosh) but I am waiting for a Macbook pro killer, hopefully with OLED. Doesn't need to go 12 hours but 9 hours would be okay for a work day. I thought the Galaxy book was a nice contender. I use a gaming laptop for work but it's not portable. It's really fast since it's an i9 but portability is one thing I look for and hopefully with big screen 15.6" or 16", CPU power AND efficiency.
0:34 Showcase should've really stopped there - would've made it a hilarious video.
There are a bunch of ways to get discounts. For my 4070 32gb 1tb version (3k original price), I spent less than 2k, even with a free 2tb SSD. Given the sweet price wouldn't complain much abt the TouchPad (it really sucks)
Try to use a dock, get failures, webpages with almost no driver support, no BIOS updates and whatever.
Good looking and that's all.
