This announcement comes moments after Microsoft's special event, where the company launched its own Surface laptop with the same Snapdragon chip and showcased Snapdragon-powered Windows laptops from all other OEMs.
Galaxy Book 4 Edge brings Galaxy AI to Samsung's laptops
The Galaxy Book 4 Edge comes in two sizes: 14-inch (Edge) and 16-inch (Edge Pro). Both laptops use the Snapdragon X Elite processor with 12 CPU cores, Adreno GPU, and a dedicated NPU with 45 TOPS performance. They both run ARM64-optimized Windows 11 and promise extremely long battery life. They have 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
They have Dynamic AMOLED 2x touchscreens with 3K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 120% color gamut coverage, a ten-point multitouch, and an anti-reflection coating. They will likely be able to run HDR content through apps like Netflix and Prime Video.
