For some reason no one has reviewed this base model of the Galaxy Book 4 yet? So here it is :D
Today I will be reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Book 4. This is a 15 inch Aluminum utrabook from Samsung that's cheap, durable and surprisingly fast. Now that school's started again, this might be a good option to consider if you need a laptop that can get things done, while not costing too much, and of course - looking good.
It's a refresh of the Galaxy Book 3, but it DOES do some thing different, which I'll talk about.

What about the PLS screen? Do you notice any IPS Glow on this screen? Is the Book4's screen better, the same or worse than its predecessors?

@crimsontechyt Ай бұрын

It looks the exact same as the displays on the 3, 2 and 1. Contrast isnt amazing, but i dont notice any IPS glow :)

now the regular book 4 with i7 256ssd and 16gb ram is on sale for $650 in the samsung website. is it a good time to get it? would you say it's worth it at this price?

Wow, it's incredible how you Americans can 10x and some times 12x cheaper than in brazil. Here it costs 9000 R$, the minimum wage here is 1400R$, imagine having to save 6 wages just to buy just 1 laptop. Sorry for the bad English, I'm taking English classes to improve it.

Do you think that with intel 7 the game that kept crashing would have worked? Idk which one to chose

I see a lot of reddits about the screen cracking, is the standard galaxy book4 screen made of a different material than the Pro, 360 and ultra?

@crimsontechyt 3 күн бұрын

The standard Book4 has a plastic screen, while the Pro, 360 and Ultra have a glass display. The displays can crack on both, but the glass ones can break from the outside as well of course.

I've seen mixed sources for this: other reviewers say that it has thunderbolt, but samsung doesnt list in anywhere on their website, and i cant reliably test it... :/

@HoneyFighter_BCW 23 күн бұрын

@@crimsontechytalright, looks like its not thunderbolt. Oh well, atleast its got good ports overall. I use this as a secodary device in addition to my gaming pc, so i wont need the most powerful cpu or storage. Mainly intended for productivity, streaming and simple games like minecraft, terraria and so on For 579€ brand new I'd say its decent considering build quality, fingerprint scanner, decent IPS display and the integration with my s23 or samsung buds :D

Thanks for the review. I'm a full stack software engineer at Samsung and I'm fully switching to Samsung devices from Apple. I just ordered the Galaxy Book 4 with Intel Core 7 150U, 16GB Ram, NVIDIA MX570 4GB, 512GB SSD and I bought a sorbent 8TB SSD to put in the 2nd m.2 slot. I owned the base i3 model for the galaxy book 3 so this will be a huge upgrade. Used educational discount and I picked mine up from UK for £950, and as a treat a 1TB S24 Ultra

@crimsontechyt Ай бұрын

Oh that's really cool! Nice upgrade as well, 8TB is crazy :o I wonder how the MX models perform in games?

@@cristalcaravaggio3709, LED is usually better. IPS isn't bad, but the black isn't true black. With LED the individual pixels can turn on and off. But of course it would depend on the display quality, the same way an iPhone IPS screen was better than some AMOLED cheap Android phones.
