- Reviewing Samsung's Galaxy Book 4 Pro, a 14-inch Intel Core Ultra 7 laptop and one of the best 2024 releases if you want a balance of portability and power. I've been testing the gaming chops, video editing skills and battery life of the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro this past week and it's easily a Macbook Air alternative. Here's my verdict, and check out my other laptop reviews for other options.

Frequent travellers who need a capable laptop for creative tasks should be happy with that Core Ultra 7 performance. Photo editing is a breeze and video editing was also smooth, as long as you don't want to combine two or more 4K videos into a single stream. The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro also boasts upgraded battery life vs the 3 Pro from last year.
Besides that, this is an incremental update for sure. The Dynamic AMOLED screen is another stunner and Samsung's stereo speaker setup is respectable for enjoying videos or games. Speaking of games, you can blaze through the likes of Resident Evil 3 and Forza Horizons at the 2880x1800 resolution with a smooth frame rate on the Galaxy Book 4 Pro. Although I had to scale back the RE3 graphics a little to keep things fluid at all times.
So are you tempted by the 14-inch Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro laptop, fresh for 2024? Let us know your thoughts on this vs the Macbook Air below!

that chrome youtube slow response was because of a potential ad blocker u might be using not the laptop itself
yup, I believe its the ADblock (ADB) extension that throttles CZcams and can't believe they haven't fixed it yet considering its what most use since its the first that comes up, unfortunately. uBlock origin is the better choice
ppl that dont use ublock origin deserve it tbf for opting for adblockers that sold out to advertising companies
YT has had some issues the past few days as well.
I have firefox with ublock origin and adblock plus. Never seen a ad my life after that
@@rayquazahere8529ublock origin on Vivaldi user here. Ain't a problem.
sometimes i just watch your videos just to watch you say something funny. Always made me laugh.
About time we saw a tech reviewer with one of these. Using this device as I type 😊
@@TheWeekendWarrior490Yes
@@TheWeekendWarrior490 I don't believe you can.
@@TheWeekendWarrior490Yes but the bandwidth limits of TB3 will limit you a fair bit. I’d wait for TB5 later this year if it matters that much to you

Thanks for the review. Im gonna buy the 16 inch version for its bigger dispaly and a bit bigger battery.
Same bro 👍
Then I would go for the pro 360 ... If you g o 16...
@@Cybertron667 Unless someone absolutely needs the S Pen and the 360 hinge (most people definitely dont), thats pretty bad advice. Galaxy Book 4 Pro non 360 is the same exact laptop except $150 cheaper
@@PantsaBearfor a $42 difference I can get the S pen and 360. Would it be worth it then?

Great video, would love to see an in depth comparison between the book 3 pro 360 and book 4 pro 360
Thanks for this review - I've been split between this and the Lenovo Thinkbook 13x Gen 4. I'm now leaning towards the Samsung Book 4 Pro 14 inch after your review once it comes on sale in the US!
It's on sale now
Get a GAMING LAPTOP! 😂
Its now in the US
It's available on Amazon US for $999 USD (16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 14 Inch Pro Version, NP944XGK-KG1US) --> I believe Amazon US made a pricing error as Samsung's US Website has it for $1749 USD.

Super helpful review! Thank you!
Finally someone reviewed it 😊

Finally someone did it finallyyyyy… some one gave a review.. although i am interested in buying 16inch but still Thankyou :)
I bought Book 4 pro 360 1TB, 16" last week. I am impressed.
They corrected all the mistakes in book 3 360.
The screen has no glare, very clear and sharp.
2. It doesn't catch any fingerprints
3.Hinge is very solid and screen is not wobbly.
4. The body is hard not plastic.
The design is very similar to MacBook pro M2 in a lot of ways.
Add to them 1TB of memory, Tablet mode, touch screen, 16 GB ram, S pen
+ Free samsung S9 fe on preorder.
Battery performance is solid, but of course not comparable to apple's.
Not regretting it so far. Will go for it again.
Where did you find the preorder?
Are you able to compare battery to the last generation?
How is the touchpad compared to macbook? Apple has always been superior in trackpads.
Is 16 inches good for carrying around? Or is it too big for it?
Hi. how is the graphics?
Wouldn't it be nice to watch a comparison video with comparably specified MacBook Air, Lenovo X1 Carbon and, for good measure, Zenbook 14: all the latest 2024 models?
great review waiting for the book 4 ultra and dell xps reviews
same
good review thanks - bought one!
Excellent review! If I upgrade the Windows 11 Home license of this laptop to Windows 11 Pro will it keep the special Samsung features embeded in it's OS?
Finally review ❤
This lightweight laptop is what I loved, 💗 Book4 Pro 14" 😍
Cant wait for your Book4Ultra VIDEO !!! :)😅
Hi Chris, please do the Book 4 Ultra
Hey man can u let us know the fps u observed on these games? Many reddit users including us are not able to find proper gaming tests on the entire book 4 series. Also testing live fps games like valorant would help us out a lot. I am stuck on a crucial decision amongst this and the m3 macbook air
Pls. Be honest... did the speakers actually improve or is it the same as last year
Nice video like always... Tech Spurt can you tell us where you get those nice clean anime walpaper ? Or if anyone knows that
Great video!
Perfect review, Please could you confirm if the GPU is 770 or 750 arc?
The wallpapers are amazing! Where can I get them? Artist made an awesome job and I would love to use their art as my wallpaper too!
How is the over-night-performance? Can you close it over night and continue your work next day?
nice wallpapers!! please share them with us. TYIA!
How does it compare to the 14 inch zenbook?
How does it perform with lightroom denoiseAI? Could you please share some insight? I'm looking to buy a new laptop and lightroom denoiseAI is a major factor for me.
Great video. Thank you. I'm really torn between the pro 14" and ultra 16. I really wish they done the pro with 32gb
There is a 32 gb in pro line up right?
@@knightstale3361it doesn't look like it. I've checked on samsungs website and Currys 🤷♂️
@@knightstale3361 Yea I've just found it on the samsung site. Awesome
thanks for this. What's the background music? really good
heads up. when you was playing RA the screen refresh was set at 24 for some reason. hence why you were getting such horrid frame rates in that game!
Hi, how will Photoshop & lightroom perform? Thank you.
Please make a video on battery life & performance. Separately.
Very good, thanks 👍
6:55 transition was smooooooooth.
Will they make a book 4 pro 360 in the 14 inch? Would be the first time they do that
Where do u get these wallpapers from ?
Is the refresh rate locked to 24hz when you tried to max out the graphics settings on RE3? Just wondering
The screen looks so good.
cheers 🥳love you
Can you use an S Pen on the touchscreen on the Pro model?
I love your wallpapers 🥺
Links ??? 🤔🤔🤔
I hope one day they will get rid off the bottom bezle on the screen.
One can dream.
Thanks for the review.
Any weirdness in the trackpad if you move the curser and stop for a moment without picking up and when you start to make small movement from the still position the curser delays in moving? SUPER frustrating in the GB3 Ultra. Thanks!
Acceleration on the trackpad still sucks. Sadly.
I dont understand what you said about the M2 SSD. Is there 2 slots and a 512Gb in the one slot? Can I swap the 512Gb for a 2Tb and put the 512Gb in the second slot?
I would really like to see a more comprehensive battery life comparison with a MacBook Air.
This would be really good to see. I am not expecting it to outperform the Macbook, but it would be interesting to see if they're even close.
are you going to review the book 4 ultra as well?
Would have been nice to talk about the relative value of this laptop. It seems horribly expensive for what it is, but thats the way of a lot of laptops these days. How does it compare value-wise to similar laptops? Id have thought it was very low value.
where do you get your wallpapers??
Finally touch support on the 14 inch and no Screen door effect or moire effect on the displays!!! Do you find the fan sound annoying ?
Coming from a Dell Latitude 5431 (i7 1260P), I can say the fans are much quieter on this device, even now with 10 tabs and 3 apps running, it's a tiny bit warm, but no fan noise.
@@srs0591 No noise for light tasks?
@@Cybertron667 not from what I've seen so far.
Give it time. It will come.
I think Samsung laptops have an option for silent fan noise. But it cuts performance ( idk how much )
This or spectre 360x 2024 version?
Good looking laptop!
What are the pre-order deals for the US?
I’m still using book pro 1 still going strong after 2 years of solid daily use.
Please make a review of the new Xiaomi Redmi 14 Pro 2024 laptop with Intel Core Ultra 7 processor.
.... OK now we wait for someone to drop thumbnail sauce 🔥
Sir from where you get these wallpaper😊
Can you make the Lenovo thinkbook x3 Gen 4 ? Compared to the Samsung?
where do yo get your wallpapers?
Can you test the pro 360?
From where do you get your wallpaper from plz someone tell me
Hell no the ultra model is 4.000€ where I live
idk why my comment was deleted but, no way anyone should buy at this price point without 32GB of RAM. RAM is very important these days on Windows, and paying more than 2K for a soldered thin and light, you wont be able to upgrade it yourself. Not sure if this is a proper review of just a promo, because compared to the likes of Just Josh, it doesn't touch important aspects at all. Do not buy any 16gb models at these prices!
No 32GB option in the UK either for the 14-inch Book4 Pro.
The upgrade price is just ridiculous! In germany it's 900€ more than the 16GB Model. Sure you get also 1TB storage instead of 512GB. But that is still just insalely overpriced. Net to mention that 1TB should be the absolute minimum on such a device.
Tell that to apple lol
@@pickle-yg9ht apple actually offers more at the prices samsung books go for here lmao, its actually that funny
Dude isnt about this channel only this happens on youtube only ive commented in other channels and happens the same try to write a comment before a videos ends Will pass the same so chill dude
The wallpapers 🤤🤤🤤
I lol'd at the anime AI background on the thumbnail
It looks almost identical to my 2021 Zenbook 14. 😄 (except for the aerolift of the Asus)
I think we have the same zenbook! I look at these reviews but I really don't have a reason to upgrade to another Ultrabook. Especially because the Intel graphics chipset is not as good as the AMD in my laptop.
Please do the Ultra and the 360!
Am really interested in the GB4 Ultra.
Does anyone have idea whether we can expect Book 4 Pro 360 with 32GB Ram variant? Feels like as it is soldered Ram might as well go for 32GB to be more futureproof.
Was the horrid wobble on 16incha fixed ?
Where can I find the wallpapers?
Will you be testing the galaxy book 4 pro 360?
What wallpaper app does he use for such
Is it available in the markets?
How is the heat on this laptop?
what is the thermals at room temp?
someone pls tell me where does he get these wallpapers from ?? they look sickkkkk
Well, clickbait title, isn't it? The screen is the only thing that's good, actually.
He's a reviewer, saying anything bad about companies will get him blacklisted
That was my conclusion regarding the Book3 Pro 360. Great display, average or worse for everything else.
These are paid reviews
Hope they can make dual vertical screen
Insted of a micro if they had given a full size sd card i would have been sold
09:00 lol you had it set to 24hz, of course it wasn't creamy smooth
Still have update for galaxy book x360 series?
9:02 shows in the test game settings refresh rate of 24 which might be why it wasnt smooth
Hey, how is the trackpad on this thing. Is it a haptic touch pad??
No
I need this
what is better, ultra 7 or 9 or i7 or i9?
How much better is it than the galaxy book 3 360 pro?
Anyone watching this, note that these are very expensive ultrabooks, and you should pay more (£100) for the MB Pro 14 M3 Pro. That is the rival for this, not the Air, which is excellent value at its base price, around £1000, which is £600 cheaper than the base Book4 Pro.
The MB Pro 14 M3 Pro would beat this out in every metric.
As a engineering major I need a window worrier and the galaxy book 4 pro has become my daily and is a really good alternative to a macbook air especially since mac os is a little stingy in there software 😅
I just ordered the new HP Spectre x360 14".
Then realized Samsung also had released this new one
The HP is probably alright, but the Samsung is lighter and seems much more premium and macbook-ish.
It misses the 2-in-1 flip screen thing.. but I honestly don't even need that
Where can you buy this please?
Watching Amoled on Amoled, that screen is vibrant
Can't wait for ARM CPUs and Windows on ARM
What is that wallpaper called?
What about the trackpad?
"either silver or GREY" 😂 the SARCASM.
For real tho, I want laptop to be interesting colors. Deep Green, Pink, Blue...good GOD would it hurt somebody to live in a world with color.
Bright colors sell worse. For example, a dark blue macbook sells worse than a standard space gray
What are the fps on re3?
