Samsung makes everything these days. Their fridges, phones, and washing machines seem to be everywhere, but why don't more people talk about their laptops? Alex is here to check out the new Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra to see if the electronics juggernaut knows how to put together a laptop that looks great on paper without breaking the bank.

I've had mine for 2 weeks. Samsung could immediately fix two issues out of the box: 1. Have Dolby Atmos defaulted to "on" - I was disappointed with the audio until I figured out it wasn't on. I've only seen one review that points this factoid out. If reviewers are missing it, the general public sure as heck will. 2. Trackpad driver - definitely needs an update even after the recent update. Would also love to have an option to limit right click to a smaller section of the track pad. Otherwise, really loving the machine.

*6 P cores, 8 E cores, 2 HE cores This greatly frustrates me. It is quite misleading to say 16 cores because that implies all 16 cores are the same, and they arent. I mean you mention the TGP for the GPU, why not the CPU?

@anomuumit Ай бұрын

Yeah and knowing Intel naming schemes, from this gen on it will be impossible to deduct if the processor is any good at all even from the core/thread count. Same amount of cores/threads and one processor will have only two performance cores and a boatload of efficiency cores with HT while the other will have 6 or more performance cores with some efficiency cores.

@danieloberhofer9035 Ай бұрын

Why even bother? It sucks anyway, no matter the config.

@sindrisuncatcher653 Ай бұрын

Core/thread count has never been a reliable way to differentiate processors. A 2-core processor made with modern technology will outperform an 80-core processor from 2006 in every single use case (yes, it existed, look up the Teraflops Research Chip or Polaris). That's why you should be looking at the generation number first, and then the tier it was placed at within that generation for a decent ballpark estimate of quality, and if you need real numbers go to actual benchmark records. In the past few generations, intel has been getting incremental improvements in peak performance but at the cost of skyrockting energy costs and heat production; this new set went the other way by keeping similar (or slightly worse) peak performance, but using a fraction of the electricity to do so by using different kinds of architecture to solve different problems; the 'efficiency cores' don't exist to do more things at the same time, they exist to do the same things for cheaper. Also their integrated graphics are nowhere near as shitty as they used to be, but if you have a GPU you don't care about that.

@Fakeman Ай бұрын

@@sindrisuncatcher653 Intel could (and have) release different ratios of P cores to E cores and it all could be called "Alder Lake". It could be 1:1, 1:2 or even all E cores. No one in the phone space for instance says their phone is 8 or 9 cores, because its a bit misleading, they always list the configuration. It is similar to AMD bulldozer in a way. It's misleading marketing. It is like saying a 4GHz P4 is faster than a 2ghz Athlon because "bigger number betterer". It doesn't harm anyone to clarify that only 6 of the 16 are P cores imo, so why not do it?

Yes, you can get some features on your normal device, but samsung notes doesn't work anymore on non samsung laptops since like 4 months and it really is bummer to me since I am taking my notes for uni on my Samsung Tab S7 FE). I saw someone showing off how u can use the galaxy book to control the laptop, your samsung phone and your samsung tablet at the same time which imo if you are in the samsung eco system might be worth it. It's like with apple putting their premium to get a good integration into their eco system on all levels, but the price increase for that is not as horrible as apple does it and in the end u still are running windows and can load whatever you want into it. Still would love it to be cheaper but knowing samsung well enough by now I can already tell it will be on sale regularly on their own store. What I would have loved to see were test on fan noise and battery life, those really didn't get any attention here.

They also have Multi Control where you can drag files straight from your phone to the laptop. Second screen for samsung tablets, quick share, and SmartThings built in.

32gb is the minimal I would consider for a laptop these days especially at this price point. It's not as if memory is expensive currently either. Currently running a macbook pro from 2020 with 16GB and memory is the biggest problem and it's not even a m-series chip. When you start specing up 32GB and even 64GB Framework with it's bring your own ram is insane value

It's not really a review it's a first impression. They've stated that a lot in the past to describe what they want to show at this channel. Yes they actually test more aspects nowadays as they have the Labs team at hands, but they don't spend as much time and effort into it as they would for an actual review. It's more about the ovious stuff and how it "feels" to initially use it, without going much into depth and comparisons.

I'm a loyal Windows user (I dislike Macintosh) but I am waiting for a Macbook pro killer, hopefully with OLED. Doesn't need to go 12 hours but 9 hours would be okay for a work day. I thought the Galaxy book was a nice contender. I use a gaming laptop for work but it's not portable. It's really fast since it's an i9 but portability is one thing I look for and hopefully with big screen 15.6" or 16", CPU power AND efficiency.

What people never mention with Samsung and Apple is they charge a premium, BUT give you decent trade in value so the next time you upgrade to their flagship it's a great deal. Asus and other laptop manufacturers just dont do that. They also offer the best financing of all the major providers, so leasing it ends up costing about as much as adding a new phone line with 0% apr up to 24 months. Ultimately you buy this for the ecosystem, second screen with Samsungs tablets and S Pen with Wacom EMR coupled with the power of the Ultra is special. Theres more to the story here for Samsung worth mentioning.

You can’t even make the argument anymore that, “oh, well it’s a premium product and that’s why it’s expensive.” The build quality with the ASUS Zephyrus G14 and G16 are pretty premium these days, with similar, identical or even better internal components in the ASUS machines.
