Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge review: beauty before brawn


This laptop does not show off the potential of the fastest Snapdragon X Elite chip.

I got to see the high-end model in action back in April on a demo machine, and it seemed like it would be the chip to help usher in a new era of faster, more power-efficient Windows PCs and take on Apple’s MacBook Air M3 in a way that Intel or AMD hadn’t been able to accomplish. It’s Samsung’s thinnest and lightest 16-inch laptop, designed for everyday web browsing, a mix of business- and creative-focused work, and running Windows Copilot Plus AI apps like Live Captions and Cocreator. It’s a happy middle ground that doesn’t sacrifice image quality for battery life — a big reason why displays with similar resolutions are starting to crop up more often in productivity and gaming laptops alike.
