I tried the new Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra for the past two weeks and while there is a lot to love about it, I did find a few hiccups that we should talk about.

Enhanced Trade-In + $400 Discount (Official Samsung affiliate) 👉 mikeobrienmedia.com/GalaxyBook4Ultra Oh, also I'm not sure why I said there were multiple colors available. This comes in any color you want as long as it's moonstone gra

Galaxy Book3 Ultra user here. I just sold mine off to a guy today. While I loved the thing, and absolutely loved the Galaxy ecosystem software, the laptop itself was just NOT worth the $3,000 I spent on it. I'll admit -- I've yet to see another laptop with a display even remotely touching the Galaxy Book's 3K OLED. Other than that, however, there are cheaper laptops with more powerful GPUs, with better speakers, with tougher build quality, and with better battery life.

No gaming review even though Samsung touted the increased TGP. No battery life estimates. The screen also has the much hyped anti-reflective coating, but no comments about it.

Samsung needs to understand that Ultra means thicker chassis and more ports. Samsung's idea of an ultra is a Macbook Air 15 inch competitor. I need a Samsung laptop that competes with the Macbook Pro 14/16 inch. I'm heavily invested in the Samsung ecosystem. However, I will not buy an inferior laptop at that price point. I guess imma upgrade my Surface Pro X for a Surface Pro 10 Elite X and still keeping my XPS 17 4K 9520.

the thicc chin on the display makes the device look outdated especially because Apple, Dell, HP, Asus, and Lenovo all have uniform thin bezeled devices now within the same price range

I got mine for $1,600 from 2,400. Took advantage from an employers discount. For that price, I may say it’s worth it. Other than that, make a decision based on your real life needs. These laptop manufacturer’s are asking for an arm and a leg for their products.

ngl dream laptop right there but holy it's pricey
-
Very good point Mike very very good.... When we are buying Flagships " the don't do that to me " part in perfect. We spend a lot of money , on high end tools, usually make our friends discover why we made that choice, basically we advertise for you Samsung So please for expensive products Stop the bloat-ware, and hard selling intrusions, it's feels really cheap. Lots of people agree ; and many high end brands too.
-
100% agreed on McAfee issue.
-
Does the trackpad of book4 ultra has the same micro delay for short movements as the previous generation?
-
Comprehensive review The excess bloatware is a deal killer for me. At $1500-$2100, I might buy. At these prices, no way!
-
im glad you did the pen test, i was curious about it
-
It sounds trivial, but as a current user of a SurfaceBook 2, the Windows Hello/face ID, is actually nice.... Kind of unacceptable that at even the on sale $2k price tag, that it isn't supported.
-
Would you suggest this laptop over MAC?
-
Just got the regular book 4 pro. $500 off and free upgrade to 16in 1tb 😊. Mainly will be using it for school work
-
So, I have an M1 Max MBP 14 right now, and it's great, but I have an S24 Ultra and a Tab S9 Ultra, so I'm thinking about getting one of these. Given you're also a Samsung user, why did you decide to stick with the MacBook Pro? I didn't really feel like the reason was clear, unless I missed it...
-
The microSD is an expansion slot and really meant to be taken out like a traditional SD card.
-
Why didn't they shift the display down to make room for a better camera above?
-
You can't get a usb A to usb C cable to charge on the right side?

I'm looking forward to your review of the new Samsung Galaxy 4 Edge 16" with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor. This was a very good review though.
