The Galaxy Book4 Edge Pro will be another of the next-generation Windows laptops on the ARM platform, and according to leaked information coming to us from WinFuture, it will use the fastest processor available from Qualcomm.

ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft, Samsung… are some of the manufacturers that will launch laptops with Snapdragon X processors this summer. A new attempt to put the Windows platform on ARM and compete with Apple’s Mac computers.

Galaxy Book4 Edge Pro, big and fast

Samsung doesn’t want to lose ground to the big PC makers, and the model in question could be the biggest and most powerful we’ve seen so far, including the Book4 Edge (non-Pro), which was one of the first to leak. I would use a 16-inch AMOLED display diagonal, with a native resolution of 3K and a maximum brightness of 400 nits.

Inside, the Snapdragon X Elite X1P-84-10 would debut, one of the fastest processors Qualcomm platform, with the highest number of cores at the fastest frequency (4.2 GHz) and 45 TOP NPU performance for AI. It would be accompanied by 16GB of RAM and at least 512GB of internal storage with a PCIe SSD.

The images shared tell us about the laptop with Extremely thin and light aluminum chassis, the hallmark of Samsung notebooks. We see three USB Type-C ports, an HDMI output, a headphone jack, a microSD card reader, a webcam and a numeric keypad, which would be the biggest difference compared to the 14-inch Book4 that was leaked last month.

One of the big advantages of the ARM architecture is its low power consumption, and all teams on this platform will take advantage of it. Specifically, the Samsung model will offer up to 22 hours of autonomy with a 61.8 Wh battery. You will also be able to support 5G broadband networks.

Rumors continue to point to relatively high prices, esp 1800 euros. Extremely expensive and unjustified for a platform that still has a lot to prove. And we still don’t know anything about the software part and whether Windows will be able to take advantage of ARM. Something that was impossible until now. We will definitely see this Galaxy Book4 Edge Pro at Computex 2024. Like others from ASUS, Acer and other Asian manufacturers.

* Update: Another very Samsung-like laptop, the Vivobook S 15 OLED, was (accidentally) released this weekend by ASUS Taiwan. All indications are that the official presentation of all these models is inexorably approaching. This week we expect news from Microsoft at BUILD 2024.
