Galaxy Book 4 Edge goes on sale globally

Unveiled in mid-May, the Galaxy Book 4 Edge is part of the first batch of Snapdragon X PCs. Qualcomm’s new processors, including the Snapdragon X Plus, are making their debut globally today as the only chips rated to power Copilot+, Microsoft’s new AI PC ecosystem. Samsung’s first offering is available in two sizes—14-inch and 16-inch. Both models feature a Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen with QHD+ or 3K resolution (2,880 x 1,800 pixels) and 10-point multi-touch.

The screens boast a 120Hz variable refresh rate, 500 nits of brightness, and HDR10+ support. The 14-inch model has the Snapdragon X Elite processor clocked at 3.4GHz, while the bigger laptop goes up to 3.8GHz. Both get 16GB RAM and 512GB storage as standard, but the beefiest configuration for the 16-inch model gives you 1TB of storage. Beyond the CPU and GPU, the NPU, i.e., the Neural Processing Unit, is one of the biggest strengths of the Galaxy Book 4 Edge series.

The Snapdragon X Elite’s Qualcomm Hexagion NPU delivers 45 TOPS performance for seamless AI processing. The Galaxy Book 4 Edge is well-equipped to handle AI features such as real-time translation, AI-powered editing tools, and other applications. The smaller model expectedly lacks a numeric keypad and features a smaller battery (55.9Wh vs. 61.8Wh). Samsung rates it to last up to 18 hours on a single charge and the other to 21 hours. The laptops charge at 65W speed.

Port options are the same across the two models. You get one HDMI 2.1 port, two USB Type-C 4.0 ports (Thunderbolt 3), one USB Type-A 3.2 port, a MicroSD card slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack (the laptop charges via a USB-C port). The Galaxy Book 4 Edge has two microphones and a 2MP Full HD webcam. The laptop boasts Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 7 (Wi-Fi 6E in South Korea). You also get Dolby Atmos-enabled AKG quad-speakers with two 2W tweeters and two 5W woofers.
