Like its predecessor, the very similar Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro, it owes its overall look and feel to the MacBook.Thanks to its sleek wedge-shaped chassis, it’s most similar to Apple’s now defunct MacBook M1 Air in terms of design. But for features and performance it probably falls somewhere in between the newer and boxier MacBook Air 13-inch (M3) and the base model MacBook Pro 14-inch.Available in both 14-inch and 16-inch formats, this 14-inch model has both advantages and weaknesses compared to Apple’s alternatives. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro’s OLED screen is a definite highlight with incredible image quality plus 120Hz refresh. It also supports touch input. Apple simply can’t compete.On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro’s speakers disappoint and its trackpad is merely OK. Apple definitely does those things better. As for performance, it’s a close-run thing compared to the Apple M2 chip, though the latest M3 is arguably a step above. You get Intel’s hot new Meteor Lake CPU in Intel Core Ultra 7 155H configuration with six performance cores and eight efficiency cores.Samsung says the new Intel chip improves the Galaxy Book4 Pro’s already impressive battery life by about 10% and we found you can get nearly 14 hours of video playback and over 11 hours of more intensive use. Put simply, this laptop offers genuine all-day longevity.On the downside, the design is definitely derivative, the speakers are very disappointing and the trackpad is merely OK. But overall, this isn’t just one of the best Windows alternatives for MacBook fans. It can take the fight to any competing laptop in our best laptop 2024 guide.

Available in the US and UKPriced at $1,449 in the US and £1,559 in the UK for the entry-level model with 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is definitely premium priced but it’s not outrageously expensive. It’s a little pricier than a comparably specced MacBook Air, but cheaper than the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro.On the other hand, Dell’s XPS 13 can be had with the same Meteor Lake CPU with matching memory and storage specs for a little less money, and the XPS 14 for about the same money. However, the XPS 13 can’t be had with an OLED display and with the XPS 14 an OLED panel can be configured, but adds $300 / £200 to the price. All of which means the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro isn’t cheap, but it does still offer a strong value proposition.Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro: SpecsThe Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro comes in two configurations, 14-inch and 16-inch versions.Swipe to scroll horizontallyThese are the specs for the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro ComponentSamsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 14-inchSamsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 16-inchPrice$1,449 / £1,599$1,749 / £1,699CPUIntel Core Ultra 7 155HIntel Core Ultra 7 155HGPUIntel Arc integrated graphicsIntel Arc integrated graphicsScreen14-inch, 2880 x 1800 AMOLED16-inch, 2880 x 1800 AMOLEDRAM16GB DDR516GB DDR5Storage512GB SSD512GB SSD (1TB in US)Ports2x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), HDMI 2.1, USB-A 3.2, MicroSD, 3.5mm headphone jack2x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), HDMI 2.1, USB-A 3.2, MicroSD, 3.5mm headphone jackWirelessWi-Fi 6e (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3Wi-Fi 6e (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3Camera1080p webcam1080p webcamWeight1.23kg / 2.71lb1.56kg / 3.44lbDimensions312.3 x 223.8 x 11.6 mm (12.30 x 8.81 x 0.46 inches)355.4 x 250.4 x 12.5 mm (13.99 x 9.86 x 0.49 inches)(Image credit: Future)Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro: DesignGood build qualityApple-derivative designVery portableThere’s no denying it. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro wouldn’t look like it does were it not for the Apple MacBook and more specifically, the MacBook Air and its wedge-shaped chassis. The Galaxy Book4 Pro is awfully, awfully similar, from the tapering chassis thickness to the keyboard design, the look of the trackpad, and the way the screen lid hinges and closes.Samsung has also come pretty close to matching Apple’s signature build quality and engineering. The keyboard bed is super rigid and the chassis feels strong even if the way the various parts fit together doesn’t quite match Apple’s peerless precision.There are other details where Samsung can’t match Apple. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro’s speakers don’t even come close to those of the MacBook Air, let alone the MacBook Pro. That’s a real pity and it’s hard to understand why Samsung can’t give this laptop high sound quality to match the stunning OLED screen. That display, of course, is a touchscreen, which adds an extra string to this Windows laptop’s bow that no MacBook offers.The trackpad, meanwhile, is fine by Windows laptop standards, but isn’t quite as precise and satisfying to use as Apple’s haptic trackpad. On the other hand, Samsung has managed to offer better port selection than the MacBook Air. Along with a pair of Thunderbolt USB-C ports, you get a legacy USB-A, a full HDMI socket, microSD, and a headphone jack.That’s impressive given the compact form factor which comes in at just 11.6mm thick and 1.23kg. This is an extremely portable laptop, a fact that’s only helped by the teeny-tiny 35W USB-C power adapter.So, this is a very nicely designed and engineered machine on pretty much every level. Among Windows laptops, few if any are better built. But it is, ultimately, a pretty derivative machine in aesthetic terms. Dell’s XPS portables are much more distinctive, while Apple’s MacBooks are ultimately the real deal.(Image credit: Future)Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro: PerformanceIntel Meteor Lake CPU is punchyOLED screen is stunningGood storage performanceSamsung Galaxy Book4 Pro: BenchmarksHere’s how the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro performed in our suite of benchmark tests:3DMark: Night Raid: 22,295; Fire Strike: N/A; Time Spy: 3,343Cinebench R23 Multi-core: 7,016 points; Single-core: 1,579CrystalDiskMark 8 SSD sequential: 5.047MB/s (read); 3,993MB/s (write)CrystalDiskMark 8 SSD 4K: 72MB/s (read); 175MB/s (write)CrossMark: Overall: 1,601 Productivity: 1,466 Creativity: 1,803 Responsiveness: 1463Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm: 38fpsPCMark 10 Battery Life: 11 hours and 48 minutes1080p video playback battery life: 13 hours and 54 minutesIntel’s new Meteor Lake CPU isn’t a radical step forward for performance. But it does deliver all the performance you could reasonably ask for in a thin and light laptop like this.The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H gives you six meaty Performance cores running at up to 4.8GHz, plus eight Efficient cores capable of 3.8GHz. For day-to-day tasks like web browsing and content consumption, the combination of the Intel chip plus 16GB of fast DDR5 memory and a really quick Samsung SSD makes for an ultra-speedy and responsive experience.But you also have plenty of performance in hand for some pretty serious workflows like image and video editing. Really, the only limitation involves graphics performance. The new Intel Meteor Lake CPU has a good integrated graphics processor. But it can’t quite match that of the integrated GPU in AMD’s competing Ryzen laptops APUs and it isn’t up to the job of playing modern PC games.Of course, you can get similar performance from a whole slew of Windows laptops that offer Intel’s new Meteor Lake chips. But it’s still impressive to experience this level of performance in such a compact and portable laptop.Another highlight is the AMOLED screen. It’s just so vibrant and offers perfect per-pixel lighting control, so the HDR experience is truly spectacular. No LCD screen, even one with local dimming, comes close. It’s also much brighter than comparable desktop OLED monitors. What’s more, it runs at 120Hz for extreme smoothness and responsiveness and has touchscreen functionality.(Image credit: Future)The only slight flaw involves the screen’s dynamic refresh mode. It can switch between 60Hz and 120Hz on the fly and according to application demand. The idea is that running at 120Hz increases battery load, so the screen only steps up to 120Hz when significant on-screen motion is detected. We noticed very occasional stutters that may be related to this feature. It’s not a major flaw and, in any case, you have the option of…
