SAMSUNG16' Galaxy Book4 Pro Laptop PC Computer, Intel Core 7 Ultra Processor 1TB, 3K AMOLED (2880 x 1800) Touchscreen, Advanced Security, 2024 Model, NP960XGK-KG1US, Moonstone Gray

A great laptop with excellent design, outstanding performance, and a very lightweight build.

Very powerful laptop, beautiful screen, perfect size for more demanding work, great battery life, checks all the boxes for a professional work laptop.I ordered through Amazon Renewed that was marked as "acceptable" and this laptop is literally in perfect condition, not a scratch on it. As far as I can tell, this laptop was opened, held on to for a short time, and returned. I will definitely be looking to buy from Amazon Renewed in the future.

The 2024 Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 14 inch has one of the most premium builds for a Windows Laptop in its class in my opinion. It's very light-weight (2.7 lbs) and easy to throw in a backpack or carry in a suitcase. Aesthetically it looks very sleek, professional, and has ultraportable functionality. In terms of design & build quality, it's a worthy Windows competitor to the Apple MacBook Air M2 & M3. I'm an on the go professional that works in the Construction, Engineering, & Architecture space and this is a laptop I’d feel comfortable using to conduct client presentations.I was able to attain the 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro, Core Ultra 7 Version (NP944XGK-KG1US) for $999 due to a pricing error on Amazon. For the price I attained it at - this was a great deal and that's why it's getting 4 stars from me. Currently, the same business version I bought is currently "normally" retailing for $1749 on Amazon & Samsung Directly. I needed this version as this is my work laptop as well. For that premium price, I believe there are significant cheaper alternatives available from PC competitors that offer way more bang for your buck for similar or even better specs.That being stated, I will start off my review with the positives:1) The 3K AMOLED screen on this laptop is gorgeous. Colors really pop & make for great video streaming.2) Really Easy DIY m.2 storage upgrades (I was able to upgrade storage from 1 TB to 8 TB) - Getting access to the motherboard to replace the OEM m.2 ssd and add my own took me literally less than 20 minutes with the help of YouTube tutorials + a Cheap $10 PC Tool Kit.3) 2 Thunderbolt 4 Ports, 1 HDMI 2.1 Port (that can run 8k), 1 USB-A Legacy Port, and 1 MicroSD slot.4) Fantastic Build Quality & Ultraportable - a true Windows Built Design rival to an Apple Designed Product.5) Some special integrated "Samsung Only" features if you're especially invested in the Samsung Eco-System (w/ Galaxy Smart Phone, Quickshare, Smartthings, etc).6) Intel Unison Software allows call, text message, and image retrieval compatibility with iPhones & iPads.7) Keyboard comes with the new Microsoft Copilot Key integrated & a dedicated ai NPU chip.8) Intel ARC Graphics (much, much better than Intel XE Graphics of the past several years).9) Intel Evo Certified.10) Comes w/ Windows 11 Pro (on the NP944XGK version) – which is handy for integration with my company’s data servers & Microsoft Azure AD network.11) Battery Life runs at 8 hours (with full brightness and performance set to maximum with constant load with two m.2 ssd's). I imagine many more hours if you reduce brightness, performance, and are running the stock OEM SSD.12) Fast Charging.Some of the negatives:1) While I got this for a great price, the normal consumer price of over $1749 is way too high for what you're getting with this Laptop especially when benchmarked with other Windows PC competition.2) The 14 inch " Pro" version is capped to a maximum of Soldered 16 GB RAM in the US, Canada, and UK.3) The OEM SSD that the laptop comes installed with is not from Samsung, it's an entry-level Western Digital m.2 SN740 NVMe 1 TB SSD which you can find new from IT suppliers for $50-70. The upcharge from 512 GB version to the 1 TB version of this laptop is $300 (Samsung is conducting Apple-Level price gouging but unlike Apple it’s not even using their own top tier in-house parts).4) Competitor Models from Lenovo and Asus offer similar or even better specs for $500-700 less e.g. the 2024 Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 comes 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Core Ultra 7, a similar poppy OLED screen, better battery life, and svelte durable light-weight design body, all of which can be attained for under $1000.5) The "cheapest" version of the 14-inch version laptop is $1449 and that only comes with a Core Ultra 5, 512 GB SSD, and 16 GB RAM which is a shame in 2024.6) Bezels of the screen aren't terrible but they could've been smaller especially given premium pricing (e.g. Lenovo Thinkbook 13x Gen 4, Dell XPS 14).7) Same Design as Last Year's 2023 Galaxy Book3 14 Pro.8) A small nitpick, but this laptop is only available in one color scheme in the US. It's nice...but c'mon Samsung....Some Redemption:I will say that one of the most redeeming aspects of this laptop despite its negatives primarily associated with its pricing, is the fact that this has TWO m.2 NVMe slots (rare in a laptop of this size). I love that Samsung made it super easy and uncomplicated to get access to the motherboard. Theoretically, you could DIY upgrade this to having potentially 16 TB (yes TB!) of storage space in your laptop if you can run two m.2 8 TB drives. Might cost as much as the laptop itself, but it is indeed possible. I'm currently running two Samsung 990 Pro SSD's with 4 TB each (8 TB total). Cloning the OEM drive was super easy with Samsung's Magician Software.And ultimately, I must give kudos to Samsung on this feature - this has to be the standout feature on this laptop in my opinion and saves me from having to carry a portable SSD for extra data. If only they could've sold the 32 GB RAM version for the 14-inch Pro in America....Finally, for professional and business network/software reasons, I'm forced to be a Windows User and this is a good option for that. My only hesitation is that for its current market price, I think there are frankly better Windows options that offer more for less pricing wise (Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9, Asus Zenbook UX3405) and the same pricing bracket for more (Dell XPS 14, Lenovo Thinkbook Gen13x Gen 4).If I paid the normal price, I’d be giving this review 3.5 stars.Alas I got a good deal, so whom am I to complain? :)

This was my first ever laptop I bought and I am truly in love with it!!! It's so smooth and the graphics are so amazing and the colors pop out so clear and bright!!! I am absolutely happy with my purchase and definitely worth price I paid for, wow!!

Unit worked for 3 days then did not want to turn on, error saying reboot , clearly the unit was damaged. Now asking me to return the unit for them to reimburse. Iam in a small island in the Philippines. It would take weeks to return, so refund will take months. The disappointing part is, I really needed that laptop

A couple years back, my mom gifted me an Alienware laptop since my Omen's screen was acting up, and it's served me well as both a work computer and gaming laptop but the thing is definitely a bit on the heftier side lol.At any rate, I actually came across this laptop while browsing for an upgrade for my Samsung tablet. This was definitely one of those "impulse purchases but it's for work" kind of things lol. But at the end of the day, I'm very happy with the Galaxy Book 4 pro. It's smaller and weighs a fraction of what my Alienware does. It performs well and is extremely portable. The built-in webcam is high enough quality that I can use it for my work video calls.This particular laptop was sold at a discount as "used like new" - one of the 2 manufacturer sticker seals on the box had been partly torn but not opened completely, and the other was untouched. As far as I can tell, the box had never actually been opened, so it seems like I got a pretty solid discount for just some minor packaging damage lol.I can't speak to its gaming capabilities. I haven't tried to play anything on the Galaxy Book - I'm sure I have a couple games on Steam that it could handle, but as I mentioned, I have a gaming laptop - This one is basically for everything else, from personal projects to all my work stuff!I've been a fan of Samsung for a long time, but this is my first computer purchase from this brand and I'm definitely sold! This laptop is lightweight and highly portable, and I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a solid machine for work or school.
