Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro design
The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is available in a single colour option and features a minimalistic design. It is identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy Book3 Pro and offers an all-aluminium chassis.The laptop features a clean back with just the Samsung logo on the side. It offers a thickness under 12mm and weighs just 1.24 kg, allowing you to easily carry it around with you. Additionally, the laptop’s 65W charger is similar to a smartphone charger and can be easily carried in a backpack.
The laptop comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a HDMI 2.1 port on the left side.
On the right side, the laptop features a USB Type-A port, a headphone jack and a microSD card slot.
The device comes with ample vents at the bottom to dissipate the heat.
Coming to the keyboard, the laptop comes with a chiclet keyboard that offers decent travel time and is good for typing. It comes with a backlit keyboard that allows you to easily use the device even when it is dark.
The laptop is equipped with a large touchpad, that is responsive and works well.
Display
Coming to the display, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro features a 14-inch 3K Dynamic AMOLED display with a 2,880 x 1,800 pixels resolution. It is a touchscreen display that offers a dynamic refresh rate of 60Hz and 120Hz.The Galaxy Book4 Pro comes with an anti-reflective coating on the panel. The laptop offers thin bezels with rounded corners. Samsung has always used excellent displays with its devices and this laptop is no different.
The display offers a peak brightness of 500 nits, allowing you to easily use it outdoors without worrying about visibility.
The display is protected by Gorilla Glass DX, offering you a good amount of protection.
Like other panels from the company, the Galaxy Book4 Pro’s display offers excellent colour reproduction, good contrast and good visibility.
Overall, the display is good for all users, from those enjoying content on the device to those creating content.
Performance
The laptop from Samsung is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, which offers six performance cores, eight efficiency cores, and two low-power efficiency cores. The Intel Core Ultra is a new Meteor Lake chipset from the company and comes with Intel Arc graphics.The laptop is equipped with up to 32GB LPPDR5X RAM and 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD.
The new chipset from Intel is equipped with a dedicated neural processor unit that is aimed at easily performing AI tasks, which have become quite important these days. The low-power performance cores are aimed at improving the battery life.
Samsung has added a lot of features that allow you to link it with your smartphone. You get features such as the ability to use it as a second display with the screen mirroring feature or the drag-and-drop feature. While this is good to have, do note that it only works if you have a Samsung smartphone or a Samsung tablet.
As the device is packed with powerful hardware, I had no issues with performance. The laptop easily handles everything that you throw at it without any issues and multi-tasking is a breeze.
As the laptop is not equipped with a dedicated graphics card, gaming is not one of its strengths. However, the Intel Arc graphics were able to handle a lot of games that are less graphic intensive with ease, allowing you to play games on the device.
Coming to battery life, the Galaxy Book4 Pro is equipped with a 63Wh battery and supports 65W charging. As it is a lightweight laptop, the company has kept the battery size on the lower side. The power-efficient chipset ensures that you can get around 8 hours of battery life in regular usage, which should be enough for most users.
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro ticks a lot of the boxes, including a sleek and lightweight design, powerful hardware, excellent display and good battery life. It is a good option for those looking for a powerful laptop that is easy to carry around and are willing to pay a premium to get this combination.Disclaimer: The content on this website is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a purchasing guide or recommendation.
