You're welcome, thanks for watching!

You're welcome, thanks for stopping by!

Thank you so much, I appreciate you!

Thank you so much. It's a really nice machine, I'm interested in how the cpu and arc gpu will test out. I'm working on all of that this week. lots of prep work for those videos, lol.

Thanks for stopping by. Compared to last year's that also has the same size trackpad, I feel like it's been improved. I'm noticing a lot less issues when typing and accessing the Start menu, those were biggest gripes with last years. It seems a little better this year. Thanks for stopping by.

It's a great machine, for sure! Congrats on getting it!

Thank you so much, glad you're enjoying it too!

Thank you my friend. Absolutely, that's a guaranteed video, for sure!

@@RADERTECH Yayy ❤️❤️

Congrats on getting it, and thank you kindly for the nice compliment. I'll try to do this test for you during the Benchmarking video, I'm working on that one this week. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm actually really happy with the reflective properties of this panel. When viewing "head-on", it does a great job of diffusing light. And when viewed from side, you do end up seeing a lot of reflections, which I kind of like for side angle viewing. It keeps nosy people from easily seeing the screen. It's an interesting screen in how it handles reflections, I've never seen anything quite like it. I'm used to glossy or matte only, and this acts like both depending on the viewing angle. It's kind of trippy.

Awesome, lots more to come my friend. Thanks for stopping by!

S Pen support. You only get it on the 360 and 360 Pro, and it doesn't work on the Pro and Ultra models.

I'm working on the gaming performance video this week, I hope to have it out by next weekend, right around then. Thanks for stopping by.

Forget that question. I recharged the earbuds anyway although my phone said that the earbud battery was at 100%, and after that, everything worked fine!

Thanks for stopping by for another visit my friend, and I'm glad to hear that charging them solved the issue somehow. Very strange, but glad it fixed it nonetheless, lol.

I have the identical previous model (Book 3) and it handles Photoshop AND Illustrator with no issues graphically on the older Intel Iris, it's definitely the RAM that limits how much multi-tasking you can do while Adobe is running for sure.

Photoshop is CPU intensive, and runs fine on these machines. Thanks for stopping by!

I think we'll finally see a 32gb option next year with the Pro models, same as the Ultra. It's long overdue now.

So far it's been fine, but I've honestly barely used it at this point. I'll check into all of this, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

500 nits sdr, 800 nits hdr+. I'll be testing with Davinci Resolve and I'm starting benchmarks tonight. I'll know a lot more about heat once I'm done with that. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you so much! I'm working on quite a few videos for this machine at the moment, keeping me very busy. So I've had that issue happen a couple times, on both last year's and the book2 pro 360. But I don't recall ever losing the option entirely, just that it stopped recognizing them and I had to redo my fingerprint. There's no facial recognition though, not on these galaxy books, so that should be greyed out. I would first check for Windows Updates and also Samsung Updates, as there's quite a few that come through in the early goings. Also, instead of going to the Windows 11 section, try just searching for Fingerprint from the Start menu, and go over the regular fingerprint settings, you'll likely be able to set one there. One more last option - Open up Samsung Device Care and do a Factory Reset. I know it sucks, but during the Setup process, you should be prompted to add a fingerprint. I show this steps in the unboxing video. One of these should get you going. I don't think you have a dud, it's likely driver related or it's because you're looking in the Windows Hello section. Hope this helps, and thanks for your new support!

I'll give it a try, thank you!

I hear there's a business edition of this machine that has the 32 gb option, but I haven't personally looked into it yet. I just found out about it this morning.

Yes, I also want

Noted my friend. I'm not sure of which specific titles I'll test with, but will try to cover a few that cover different aspects of gaming. Thanks for stopping by!

@@strummusic2561Noted my friend, thank you.

This laptop should be fine for gaming; there are gaming handhelds using this exact same chip.

You can look at arc 155 h performance online it'll be the exact same

I know for sure the included SSD is upgradable, but I don't if it has a second SSD slot yet though. I'll be cracking it open this week and will include a pic in an upcoming video. Thanks for stopping by!

For live streaming and editing, I would definitely go with the galaxy book over the tab s9. It's just a better experience in all areas for those use cases. Thanks for stopping by.

@@RADERTECH thanks im gonna sub to you for replying!!

Thanks for sharing this. I'll give it a try when I get off work today, thank you!

Please do reply

Great suggestion, thank you!

You got it, here you go my friend :)

The RAM is not, but the storage is. Thanks for stopping by!

In time, this was just an early look. Thanks for stopping by!

Do you mean you can't find it in the samsung settings anymore? I still have mine even turned on as I type

That's very interesting. I just checked mine, and it's there. Please make sure you have all of the latest updates from Samsung Update, they've been pushing out a lot them lately. I just checked the latest book4 as well, it's there too.

That's a great suggestion, I'll give it a shot when I get off work tonight. Thank you!

Thanks for another visit my friend. A little bit, but not much. I show it a bit in the unboxing video.

@@RADERTECH no problem ok yeah i did watch your unboxing but remember thinking of exchanging my new hp spectre with the 4050 for the new samsung but this display also is really nice hp made to where you can adjust the contrast thru there software so all colors are great very deep blacks i put up a review on my channel if you wanna check it out

Yep, both of those are very CPU intensive, and this year's meteor lake chips are performing well. It should have both of those quite easily really. Thanks for stopping by.

That really sucks, I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, it depends on how you look at. It's super thin and light, but that 16" body makes it quite large. I like it though, you get used to after a while. I do wish we'd get a 14" option like on the non 360 pro.

Oh yeah, no problem at all. Those are CPU intensive, and this year's meteor lake chips seem to be testing quite well. I'll be doing benchmarks later this week and will have a better idea then. Thanks for stopping by!

Yeah, it sucks, for sure. I just read an article this morning that says the latest March Windows Update for the galaxy book is supposed to address a lot of these issues, but I'm not holding my breath. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience.

I'm pretty certain it's the latest A350M. Thanks for stopping by!

It's about a toss-up really. If taking notes and drawing is a priority for you, I'd go with the Galaxy Book pro 360 for the s pen, but otherwise they're very similar spec wise. I darn near picked up the HP Spectre back in 2021 when I first started this channel. That would have changed everything, lol. They're both nice machines, but of course I prefer Samsung for the ecosystem integration perks.

@@RADERTECH thanku ❤️

Depends. The new screen handles reflections much, much better. But otherwise, they're very similar machines. If you're saving more than a couple hundred bucks on last year's, I'd personally go with it.

You're 100% correct my friend, I put a note about all of that in the description when I posted this. I'll make sure to show that in the full review. Thanks for stopping by!

​@RADERTECH ah right I didn't read the description, my bad.

So far, so good. It seems a little better than last year's, which was already good. I'll know more later this week when I'm putting it through benchmarks, and will be doing a media consumption test compared to last years - that's always a good indicator for the other battery tests. Thanks for stopping by.

Borderline good, but you might want to consider the Ultra if that's your main use case. Thanks for stopping by.

I doubt if you got a lemon, it's not too uncommon for the Windows Updates to fail from time to time. There may be another update pending that hasn't made it to you, and perhaps check Samsung Update to make sure all of those apps/components are updated as well. If it persists, then a reset may do the trick, though I doubt if that should be needed.

I just dropped a video on battery life. It's flipping' amazing this year!

If you can afford it, it's a nice machine. The battery life is nuts on this year's model. But last year's machine is great too, and you might be able to find it a steep discount.

I have, but still no luck. I'll keep a lookout for an updated driver, thank you.

Seems the past as year's past, meaning it's a little "iffy". It stays on most of the time, but sometimes I have to manually toggle it back on. It can get frustrating at times.

Thank you ❤. And also is the ram upgradeble?

I would if I had one to compare to. Perhaps as the channel grows, I'll be able to get my hands on more stuff to compare with. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@RADERTECH thankuu

So far, it seems a little better than last year's, which was already good. It's early though, I'll be posting a video later this week about battery life, same as last year with the book3 pro 360. Thanks for stopping by!

It sucks. I haven't figured out how to resolve it yet either, and have tried quite a few suggestions that folks have mentioned. Though I will admit I haven't played around with much, hopefully this weekend. Hopefully we both get this sorted out soon.

Yeah, If I find a fix for mine I will share

I'm sorry you faced this issue, but I really don't think this is a widespread issue in any way. The first gen had a really thin screen, but they started making it quite a bit thicker from the book2 line on. I don't know of anyone who's had issues with their screen on book2 and newer models, and I'm buried in the subreddits. I really don't think folks have anything to worry about as long as they don't toss them around or are aggressive with it. Thanks for stopping by.

​@@RADERTECHI want to purchase the book 4 pro 360 for school, media viewing, game streaming, the basics. I've seen soo many comments like this on review videos and it has me worried about purchasing one. I don't want to spend that much and get stuck with a cracked screen with no warranty support :/ if you haven't had any issues with yours and don't think it's an actual widespread problem, I might have to get one lol

That really sucks, I'm sorry to hear that :(

You can wait for those, Rader tech usually does some in house testings first, and I'd personally want real life tests of this device months from now

This is just a "getting our feet wet" video, I've only been able to use it for 3 evenings so far my friend. Benchmarking starts tonight, followed by battery life tests, video editing and gaming performance. I'm only 1 person, so I get them out when I can, please be patient, they're coming. I also have to trickle in videos about other Samsung devices, or else I'll tick off the broader audience that's not interested in this machine. I hope you can understand, thank you.

@@surrcramThank you my friend!

I am not complaining. It's your channel and your hard work. I just stated the fact as a suggestion. Good luck and no offence meant. 🏳️

I know, I'm sorry about that. When I was making this video, it was advertised everywhere as being Intel CoPilot, which I thought was a little strange right up front. Then a couple days later it's labeled properly as Microsoft CoPilot everywhere. There's a mobile version now on the Play Store as well. Again, sorry about that, I hope you're having a great day!

Not yet, that's coming later this week. Thanks for stopping by!

Awesome, thank you, I'll give that a shot. I have it fully updated as of yesterday, but I'll check again later tonight. Appreciate you!

@@RADERTECH most welcome

At least you're getting out of the right ear LOL, I'm getting out of zero ears😂😂😂😂 will try updating the driver as suggested
