Very lightweight with impressive processing speed
The very first thing I noticed about the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge was how light in weight it was! The design looks rich and classy, and the 16” touchscreen is stunningly clear. The keyboard layout took a little getting used to because of the large trackpad and slimmer number pad keys, but that’s minor in the grand impressive scheme of this laptop. Keyboard backlighting, USB C port, USB A port, HDMI, microSD slot and headphone jack are must-have features for me, and the Book 4 has them all including 2 USB C ports. Of course, one of these C ports is needed to charge the laptop, but this is a plus because there’s no bulky power cord to keep up with. I will say that the laptop doesn’t charge fast if it’s not connected to the original USB C cord and 20W power brick. But the battery life has really been the best, so I haven’t worried too much about not plugging it in at some point during the day like I did with my previous laptops. I’m surprised at how the laptop stays cool and barely heats up, given the fast speed at which the Snapdragon processor handles all the tasks I’ve given it since starting it up and throughout the day. I multi-task a lot on my laptop and this one has had no problem matching my stride. Windows and apps open and commands execute quickly, even when I’m streaming a video or participating in an online meeting at the same time. I’ve also been able to play my favorite online games without any hiccups at all. And with a 16GB memory and 1TB of storage, I’ve been able to easily save and access my massive collection of music, videos, pictures and document files. I’m not necessarily an AI fan, but I have been having a ball with the built in CoPilot+. It’s been very helpful to me in getting letters written, my photos edited and ready for print, and taking notes during meetings. Proofreading is still necessary, but that’s something I’d do anyway. I've been having fun giving CoPilot+ a command like what would my German Shepherd look like wearing horn-rimmed glasses and it not only draws it, but it looks very vibrant and life-like. I still haven’t explored all that it can do, but I like what I’ve seen it do so far. Overall, the Book4 Edge is attractive, very well built, does what I need it to do with ease, has plenty of RAM and storage, and is ready for the future of AI and then some. It’s great for both personal and business use and worth the cost.

Snapdragon is as Good as They Say
|||| Performance |||| At the time of writing, this laptop had the best available offerings from Qualcomm on the Snap Dragon Elite CPU. The X1E84100 SKU is a 12 core processor based on the ARM architecture. This new offering from Qualcomm is lifted by Microsoft’s renewed focus on Windows ARM version of the operating system. Normal day to day operations like checking emails, watching videos, excel spreadsheets, word documents, managing my NAS, running multiple applications, all work without issue. I’ve tested both Office 365 and Office Libre and the applications have worked without issue. The snapdragon handles multiple browser tabs, with several programs open, switching between them smoothly. I was actually pretty impressed when opening over 30 tabs to test this and noticed that all tabs were fully loaded in about 15 seconds. Lets talk benchmarks. They’re a great way to compare PCs and different work loads. Cinebench 2024 is designed to push modern CPUs. The single core score came in at 129 with multi core scoring 905. Geekbench compares a wide range of devices. Single core scores for me came in at 2,937 while multi core scores were 15,308. Speedometer 3.0 seems to be a popular browser benchmark, so I threw that one in and got a 26.3 on Edge browser. There’s a few call outs though. All tests were done plugged in, using highest power plan possible. I did see lower results with it unplugged, which is a bit disappointing considering other manufacturers can offer the same level of performance plugged or unplugged. As for gaming, I also was not able to get TimeSpy benchmark to make it past the second test. I doubt you’ll be doing AAA gaming on this PC, but I was able to play some Portal 2 without any issues. Tribes 3 Revivals had some frame drops and the fans got pretty loud. Then I remembered I was unplugged and running it at high settings. I was able to get much better frame rates going to low settings on wall power. |||| Co-Pilot & AI |||| The Galaxy Book 4 Edge is a Copilot+PC. This means there are AI features built into Windows that the NPU on the Snapdragon can take advantage of. You can invoke Copilot by using the new key on the keyboard. From there you can ask just about anything. If you want to know the weather, exchange rates, looking for a quick summary on a youtube channel, or just want to know more about quasars, you can ask, and it’ll provide very decent responses with sources so you can read more or validate the source of information. The other neat feature made possible by the snapdragon processor is live captions. With this, you can play a video that may be in a different language and it will translate and caption in what language you choose. I tried this with some Twitch streams and it worked ok. The speaker needs to be clear with their words for it to work well, but I was getting translations from both Japanese and Russian languages. I think it’s a good start, but it needs some work as it frequently reinterpreted words which can make the flow a bit hard to follow. Also built into the camera app is Window’s studio effects. I feel like the camera itself has much better quality than most of your HD cameras as it is. Studio effects allows for things like background blur, which works great. Portrait light adds some additional contrast to the subject of the picture to help illuminate features. Automatic framing adds more to the AI suite by keeping you in the frame, whether your close or you step away from the laptop. Co-creator in paint is also really neat. I can see this being very useful for anyone into graphic design or making marketing material. You can use Microsoft paint to make a bad sketch of what you’re looking for and then have the co-creator fill in the blanks for you. I very poorly drew a grasshopper on a blade of grass and co-creator was able to add in details with a brief description of what I was looking for and generated an AI image matching my description. Aside from the co-pilot, all of the features feel like the first version of the product. It all works well enough to be interesting but needs refinement. I think Microsoft is trying to see what sticks, what people care about, and I hope they continue to develop these features as I think they have a lot of potential. |||| Display & Design |||| Samsung makes great looking phones and they are taking a stab at great looking PCs as well. The light blue color is subtle yet different from your typical aluminum silver. The chassis feels sturdy and well built. The lid passes the one finger open test. Vents on the bottom, sides, and between the hinge and bottom half to blow air out the back, helps keep the laptop cool. The screen is amazing. Samsung makes great displays across the industry and they’re calling this one their Dynamic AMOLED2X. The resolution is 2880 x 1800, running at 120hz refresh rate. The AMOLED technology helps get the deep blacks and vibrant colors which makes viewing photos, videos, and movies pleasing to the eye. The touch screen is responsive too, but I would have liked S-Pen support and a 360 hinge design. This would have been a great way to take advantage of co-creator. There’s also a good amount of ports for the thin design. You’ll get two USB 4.0 Type C ports on the left with a single USB 3.2 Type A on the right. If you’re using this for photo and video editing, you’ll be pleased to see a Micro SD card reader as well as HDMI connectivity for an extra monitor. The keyboard isn’t bad for typing. I love a laptop with a number pad, and they did their best to include one, but the key layout is a bit unconventional so I’m finding it difficult to type on it as quickly as I do on my full size keyboard. There’s also a massive track pad. I don’t typically enjoy using a track pad so giving me a large one to accidentally click on doesn’t help. My high standards for track pads are probably not typical and I’d say most will probably enjoy it. |||| Battery Life |||| One of the unique features of ARM architecture is it’s performance per watt gains. More and more people are looking for all day power out of their laptops so they can do whatever they want to do on the go without knowing where all the power outlets are. I charged the laptop, unplugged, and closed the lid all night. When I came back it had only lost 3% power. I then used it all day for browsing, taking Teams calls, watching videos. I left the power mode at balanced and by the end of my work day, I was down to about 30% when the power saver kicked on. I then used it for a while longer, about another hour before plugging it in around 26%. Now I wouldn’t say this is heavy usage, but I do think it’s close to “all day” usage with a typical workflow. |||| Final Thoughts ||||| I’m excited for the future. With plenty of competition in the CPU space, this will have a huge benefit for the consumer. Samsung has done a great job creating a portable sleek design and integrating the Snapdragon X Elite processor. Samsung does include a LOT of their own suite of programs for notes, file sharing, video editor, screen sharing, password management, and a lot more. If you’re in the Samsung ecosystem, you’ll likely find this all to be very useful. If you’re not, you may find it enticing to get into or you may not find it not useful at all. What I can appreciate is it isn’t locked behind a paywall or a prerequisite of having a Samsung phone. At minimum, some apps just require a Samsung account to get the most out of it. Great laptop to show off the future of Windows on ARM and Qualcomm’s entry into the PC space with their Snapdragon X Elite processor.
