Samsung - Galaxy Book4 Edge - Copilot+ PC - 14" AMOLED Touch-Screen Laptop - Snapdragon X Elite 3.4Ghz- 16GB Memory- 512GB Storage - Sapphire Blue

I've only had this a couple of days as the launch was only Tuesday and writing this on Thursday. I have been using it as my daily driver and trying to put it though its paces in "real world use". I like the design, and size. Reminds me alot of older MacBook Air's. The trackpad is big and works well, keys are ok. I prefer mechanical. I can still type just as well as on any other laptop. The screen is probably the thing I like most so far, very bright, vibrant and just clear as can be. I've used this in true "laptop" form not connected to anything, and connected to my LG Ultrawide with mouse keyboard etc. It seems to have detected my windows hello compatible webcam but did not allow me to use setup my face as a login option. I was a little disappointed that it didn't have or doesn't offer by default the "face id" login. I use Horizon View to access my work computer, and while it launches and works well enough, it has caused a BSOD twice in just two days. I assume this has to do with the X86 emulation. This may prove to be a dealbreaker for me if it keeps up as that will mean I won't be able to use it for work. I did install Lego Batman (Epic) and Bloons TD6 (Steam) but games launched, but I haven't actually tried playing them for any real amount of time. I'll do that this weekend to see if it gets hot and or loud. I attempted to install Fortnite which did install, when I attempted to run it, the launcher said that the ARM Architecture isn't supported. I have to compare this experience to when Apple launched the M1, I got a M1 Macbook pro and honestly it was just a more "seemless" experience. It wasn't obvious that you were using a new architecture in the same way it is with this. I suppose that is to be expected with the tighter integration (OS & CPU) that Apple has. The battery life has been good but not mind blowing my any means.

After trying the Asus ProArt PZ13 and the Lenovo Slim 7X, this Book Edge 4 impressed me the most, sharper display, reflection reduction, and a bit more color accuracy although not at Apple MacBook level. Ink deep blacks, punch colors, but too bias towards yellows and reds and no way to fix it. Samsung does offer and extra blue vs red color tone control, but that hardly does anything, I just keep it in the middle otherwise it affects the image in a weird way. The antireflection coating works, but it makes the overall image looks a bit dull, not the usual Samsung punchy colors that we love. Looking at it right now as I type, everything looks sharp, the white space looks clean, no patterns, but it doesn't give me that feel from the display from the Acer Slim 14 chromebook, that display although not OLED, the image quality looked premium, this one is OLED, but that antireflective coating does something that takes away from the image quality. The keyboard is awesome, I am using it to type this review and I love the feel of typing on this keyboard. The key lights are not so intrusive but they still bleed from underneath the keys, Apple does it better. The trackpad is big and it works find, but not Apple standard either, it doesn't feel premium and it takes a lot to make a click, I much prefer the feel of the trackpad on the ACER Spin 14 chromebook, glass and haptic feedback for the clicks. Samsung just created a minivan with this laptop, utilitarian, practical, it works, but it is not sexy. The Snapdragon processor is snappy, and battery life is better than Intel, but not super impressive as people claim it to be. I love that out of everything I have tried so far, this is the slimmest laptop, portable, and feels good to carry around, I Just wish they would have used a darker charcoal color, I don't like this plastic silver color, it feels fake and cheap, not an eye candy. The speakers work, but nothing special, definitely not Apple caliber. The sound through headphones is good, and the Atmos sound effect wakes up the sound, but again, nothing special, no separation of sounds, everything sounds muted together. I hope all that helps you get a feel for this device and helps you decided. Out of all the snapdragon PC with OLED display right now, this one is the best to me.

As an avid samsung fan, I enjoyed the display on this laptop the most. The speakers are great with dolby atmos as well. The material of the laptop is very anti fingerprint which is amazing! The trackpad is an excellent size. However, the arm processor doesn't support apps like xbox to play games. It can run games on steam and impressively well for a non gaming machine. The battery life is great for a machine so capable, but nowhere near 22 hours as advertised. The best part of this machine is the thinness and lightweight, making it a joy to handle in any situation!
