4.2

8 sources$1,319.99as of Aug 12

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 14 is a lightweight, elegant business laptop with an outstanding OLED display and solid build quality. PCWorld's Thomas Rau praised its 3K OLED touchscreen and sturdy aluminum design, noting it weighs just 2.64 pounds. However, initial performance was disappointing due to outdated GPU drivers, though this was resolved with a manual driver update. The laptop lacks Wi-Fi 7 and has only 512GB SSD storage, which may be limiting for power users. It's best suited for professionals who prioritize portability and display quality over raw performance and storage capacity.

Strengths

— Outstanding OLED screen with 3K resolution and dynamic 2x display
— Very light weight at 2.64 pounds
— Sturdy aluminum casing with elegant Moonstone Grey finish

Watch-outs

— Slightly slower processor with Core Ultra 7 155H
— Limited storage and lack of Wi-Fi 7
