The idea of switching from an x86-based laptop, Samsung or otherwise, to one that uses the ARM architecture has never been more attractive and viable than it is now. Granted, Apple massively helped popularize the concept through its ARM M-series laptops, but Windows machines are now starting to catch up.
Earlier this year, Samsung released the Galaxy Book 4 Edge. It's a new ARM laptop based on the latest and very competent Snapdragon X chip. Indeed, now you can buy a Windows laptop powered by a premium Qualcomm chip, and today, you can even get a fantastic deal on Samsung's solution.
If you've been waiting for a chance to buy Samsung's Galaxy Book 4 Edge ARM laptop for a lower-than-launch price, now is your time. The 16-inch version, equipped with the Snapdragon X Elite 12-core 3.4GHz chip, now costs exactly the same as the 15.6-inch model featuring the 8-core X Plus CPU.
Samsung has dropped a whopping $500 off the 16-inch Snapdragon X Elite, and you can now buy it for only $899 instead of $1,449.
For the price, you also get 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 512GB eUFS storage, a gorgeous AMOLED touchscreen (2880 x 1800) with anti-reflective treatment, an HDMI 2.1 port, a built-in microSD card reader, a 3.5mm headphone port, a 4-cell 61.8Wh battery, and more.

The hardware is fantastic for only $899, but we understand that your biggest concern with switching to Windows on ARM is app compatibility. And that is a perfectly valid point.
App compatibility for ARM laptops has and continues to improve but it is not yet flawless. While some apps are fully compatible, others are emulated, and others straight up don't work at all. Not yet, at least. Your best bet with an ARM laptop is to make a list of apps you know you need and check online whether those apps are supported on Windows on ARM.
If you're in the green, you can get a lot of value from this $899 16-inch Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge laptop powered by the Snapdragon Elite X chip. Hit the buy button below and look up “Galaxy Book4 Edge 16” on the e-shop for more information on this limited-time discount.
