Galaxy Book 4 to launch this month as world’s first AI laptop

Samsung is preparing to launch five new flagship Windows laptops soon. The Galaxy Book 4 series will arrive with unprecedented on-device AI capabilities, spearheaded by the Ultra model. While the company hasn’t officially announced the launch date, the Korean media reports that the laptops will go official on December 15. The products may arrive on the market later this month or in early 2024.

The Galaxy Book 4 series is coming later this month

Samsung’s new laptops include the standard Galaxy Book 4, Galaxy Book 4 360, Galaxy Book 4 Pro, Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360, and Galaxy Book 4 Ultra. The two “360” versions feature a 360-degree hinge, allowing you to fully rotate the screen back for a tablet-like experience. The Ultra model, meanwhile, is the most powerful of the lot.

Earlier leaks have given us a fair idea of what to expect from the new Galaxy Book lineup. According to the Korean publication Yonhap, Samsung is readying the “world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) laptop.” Its newly launched generative AI model, Samsung Gauss, will power the on-device AI features. The model processes all AI tasks locally, so your data doesn’t leave the device.

The report adds that Samsung originally planned to launch the Galaxy Book 4 series in early 2024, possibly alongside the Galaxy S24 series. However, it decided to unveil the devices early to earn the title of the “world’s first AI laptop.” LG and HP are also known to be working on new laptops with on-device AI features.

Interestingly, AI is one of Samsung’s main focus for the Galaxy S24 series as well. It is working on a so-called Galaxy AI experience with AI features baked into One UI. It is unclear if the Galaxy Book 4 will get the same AI tools as the upcoming flagship smartphones. If it does, the Korean firm may not detail everything during the laptop launch event on December 15. The Galaxy S24 lineup is expected in January 2024.

Samsung’s Ultra laptop will be available in multiple processor variants

Leaked specs last month revealed that the Galaxy Book 4 will feature Intel’s Core i9 185H processor. However, that may not be the only option. Samsung will reportedly also offer it with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H chipset. Other known specs include a Samsung SDC4188 display with a 2880×1800 pixels resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and touch functionality, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB of NVMe SSD storage, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. Stay tuned for the official launch in about ten days.
