1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,399
on paper this Samsung Galaxy book looks

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:09,120
absolutely exceptional the only thing is

3
00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:13,120
though knowing Samsung they it up somehow let's figure out what it is open

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,680
the computer press the power button that's what you need to do warranty

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,400
don't care about that here we have 140 W

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:25,000
charger which is all being delivered over USB

7
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:29,679
type-c damn it that's not what I wanted to do oh

8
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:33,640
there's the charging cable how long's the cable it is 6 ft one thing that is

9
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:39,559
pretty concerning while we have it flipped over like this is I don't see any screws so I suspect getting into

10
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:44,120
this will be a pain all right so we've got the Samsung Galaxy Ultra Book 4

11
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:49,000
right here and my first impressions are that it's quite well built on the right

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:54,520
we have a micro SD card reader USB type a headphone microphone combo Jack on the

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:01:00,320
left hand side two Thunderbolt 4S and HDMI 2.1 I do really like how the

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:05,239
Samsung logo is all rainbowy it's like RGB but without the power in the past my

15
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:10,720
experience with Samsung laptops has been that they have incredible screens and

16
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:12,799
the rest kind of just sucks but right

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:19,680
here this feels vastly improved we have an all metal chassis pushing on it it

18
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,000
feels really great damn before we go any

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:27,799
further there's one thing that I really need to do this sticker is super crooked

20
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,439
I'm just going to get rid of it oh back

21
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:33,200
to oh I this is was a mistake I have

22
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:37,520
made it worse the only thing that can make it better is a segue to our sponsor

23
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:41,640
thanks to charge for sponsoring this video while the galaxy book should in

24
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:48,040
theory last you all day the Shar geeek 170 power bank is jam-packed with a

25
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:50,680
24,000 milliamp hour capacity meaning

26
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:55,360
you get a full extra cycle in and then some it has a 170 WT total output

27
00:01:53,240 --> 00:02:01,159
threshold with a single USBC Port supporting two-way charging of up to 140

28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,520
WS thanks to its PD 3 3.1 standard which

29
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:07,439
means it both charges and gets charged super quick and while you're charging

30
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:12,680
your laptop up plug in different devices to give them a top up too the Shar geek

31
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,160
170 has two USBC ports and one USB a

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:19,160
port for added versatility plus you can even monitor your charging process with

33
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,519
their built-in informative display so check out this beastly battery buddy and

34
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:27,040
give your devices the charge they deserve at the link down below wow that

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:33,080
sponsor segue did really clean that up let's Boot It Up secured by nox o fancy

36
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:38,000
their noox chip is actually pretty cool is its own dedicated chip that secures

37
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:42,360
all of your sensitive stuff in its own little area for enhanced not getting

38
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:46,959
hacked I don't know why but this touch pad just like makes me feel like I'm

39
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:51,120
drunk like they have some really brutal Mouse acceleration on it and I just keep

40
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:55,680
on missing the stuff that I'm going for like let's go for the X at the top right

41
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:00,519
missed it completely missed it not even close it feels really jelly and you can

42
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,920
kind of see that it seems like the pulling rate is

43
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:09,480
also really low I'm almost certain that's a touchpad problem and nothing to

44
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:14,879
do with like the display one sec yeah that's awesome that is

45
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,879
absolutely perfect you can see like I'm moving it across here it looks really

46
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,280
really nice on this display one other thing that I just noticed is that you

47
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:26,560
don't actually get the full display if you look we have rounded corners on the

48
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:31,599
edges it's something that they did on the uh surfaces and I guess they're

49
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,560
doing here as well oh my God M's acceleration anyway anyway anyway specs

50
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:43,760
specs the specs are good in here we have an Intel Core Ultra 7

51
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,959
155h that is 16 cores 22 threads and

52
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:50,599
these things are really really fast also we have 16 GB of RAM which it says row

53
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:56,680
of chips so they are presumably soldered down actually they're definitely soldered down cuz they're running at

54
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:59,480
7467 megat transfers per second so you

55
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:05,480
do get really fast RAM at least even though you can't upgrade it for the SSD

56
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:07,159
we have a 512 GB nbme SSD from Samsung

57
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:13,640
love to see it you guys make excellent drives we also have arc graphics an npu

58
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:19,400
with Intel's AI boost and to top it off an RTX 4050 which means even though this

59
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:24,000
right here won't be a super duper gaming laptop it'll probably be a pretty darn

60
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:28,800
good one and also for Content creation like video editing photo editing all of

61
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:34,240
that stuff it is going to be a beast this 4050 also also goes up to 80 wats

62
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:37,080
tgp which is very healthy for a 40/50 you'll be getting most of the

63
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:41,720
performance out of it a it's a touchcreen we''ve got OLED we've got

64
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,800
touch we've got oh my God this thing looks good this also has a dynamic

65
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:51,080
refresh rate so it's able to go from 48 to 120 HZ based on battery saving stuff

66
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,160
but do note that it's not gsync so it's not going to be doing that for like

67
00:04:52,680 --> 00:05:01,120
frame pacing and games it's more so just for power savings the resolution also is

68
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:04,880
a little bit more than quad h D so 2880

69
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:07,039
by 1800p and hot damn this thing is

70
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:13,440
excellent the brightness on this panel is fantastic in SDR you get 400 nits and

71
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,960
in HDR 600 nits and for both of those that is full screen brightness so you

72
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:20,160
don't have anything where like a little tiny window gets super bright and then

73
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,840
when it gets blown up and it all kind of looks like junk no this just no matter

74
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:30,520
what you get that full brightness out of those OLED pixels and look at that pitch

75
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:35,240
black of course this is a Samsung device so out of the box everything is pretty

76
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:40,319
saturated on display but it has heaps of color profiles so if you just clamp it

77
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:46,479
down to srgb we have an average Delta e of 1.2 which is absolutely fantastic we

78
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:51,639
expect less than two if you want to do professional color work so you can do

79
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:54,199
that on here also in HDR the content on

80
00:05:51,639 --> 00:06:00,039
this looks fantastic and we measured an average Delta e of 13.4 which is really

81
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,919
quite good cuz HDR you are getting both the color and the brightness to match

82
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:08,360
which is a bit more difficult and this display does a fantastic job of that

83
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:11,599
just look at this for a second Andrew like like just the background these

84
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,680
little details right here one thing I did miss before cuz we

85
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:21,080
just weren't connected to the internet is that we have a Wi-Fi 6 e card in here

86
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:25,840
which is quite good but I do wish that I had Wi-Fi 7 given that this is a very

87
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:28,960
premium device is the keyboard good though there is one thing that's kind of

88
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,440
annoying about this we have an international version of the keyboard

89
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:37,880
instead of like a North American one so we don't have a big shift on the left

90
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:37,880
hand side but oh well I'll deal with

91
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:47,360
that I don't know how I feel about this keyboard if I'm honest objectively

92
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:51,800
speaking it seems pretty good like if we look here if I push on the side of the

93
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:57,919
key it actuates the entire key before I can get much dipping also key to key the

94
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:02,400
force is really quite good and the chassis is nice and stiff so it's really

95
00:07:00,039 --> 00:07:06,720
nice and consistent there is I think it's a little bit stiffer on the right

96
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:11,039
hand side compared to the left but it's not too bad that said though the

97
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:15,720
actuation profile is super weird like there's no pre-act tuation if that makes

98
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:20,639
sense like you press on the key nothing happens then it goes I think part of it

99
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:24,680
is that now that I've touched it more there is definitely some inconsistencies

100
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:28,800
in the switching Force like some of them take a little bit more Force than others

101
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:33,520
but mostly it's just kind of a strange proile like it I don't know you feel

102
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,039
like you're really thonking you're you're thonking the keyboard overall

103
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:42,440
though I'm going to give it an A minus I think it's a solid keyboard you can you

104
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,400
can type on it I got up to almost full speed there actually I would say that I

105
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:49,560
got up to full speed and I think that I would get used to it in an hour or so

106
00:07:47,479 --> 00:07:53,280
and just be ripping on it performance- wise here are the results from the Labs

107
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:58,560
and overall I would say it did quite well given that it's an Ultra Book and

108
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,280
it's not particularly large but at the

109
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:05,520
same time it got AB absolutely smashed by the ASUS G14 which is both smaller

110
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:09,919
and cheaper so if you're looking for actual just raw performance this is not

111
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,560
what you want in here we have two wolfers that I reach 5 watts and two

112
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,879
tweeters that I reach two Watts which should be very good sounding especially

113
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,639
since they were tuned by AKG it's clear the mids seem pretty

114
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:29,919
decent okay that's not too bad that's not too bad I can jam to

115
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:35,839
that all right let's let's see how it compares to a MacBook Pro 14

116
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:39,839
in killed

117
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:47,640
murdered nice and clear nice and

118
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:50,040
clear not even

119
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:55,880
close ouch all right let's have a look at the webcam here it's 1080p 2

120
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:59,720
megapixel and Samsung of course on all of their phones has been doing an

121
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:04,120
excellent job with their cameras and it looks like they have applied that here

122
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,640
too this is having a bit of trouble directly into the lights but it's still

123
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:12,600
is exposing for my face we turn around here is it able to figure it out yeah no

124
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:18,320
problem at all looks nice and clear and crisp and overall seems pretty good do

125
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:22,399
we have facial recognition no compatible camera oh sadness we do have a

126
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:26,640
fingerprint reader up here on the right hand side which is on top of the power

127
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:29,839
button best spot to have it but that said I do wish that there was facial

128
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,560
recognition especially at this price you haven't talked about it yet but you're going to you're going to poop yourself

129
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:39,360
when you find out how much this thing costs this is the bit that I said would be annoying at the start where we have

130
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:42,800
to remove these oh that actually come off really easily normally these are

131
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:46,480
glued on and just never go back on but maybe these feet won't be too bad

132
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,040
although it also looks like they'll just fall off after a year or two so that's

133
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,480
not so good four rubber feet four Phillips head screws and a bunch of

134
00:09:51,839 --> 00:09:58,200
prying later and we are in up top here we have a big old Vapor chamber which is

135
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:03,320
how we were able to extract those 80 Watts out of the 40 50 I see a

136
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:08,720
replaceable SSD right here and an upgrade slot right there for a second

137
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:13,560
SSD love to see that sadly the Wi-Fi card is soldered down so if you want

138
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:19,600
Wi-Fi 7 I don't know just don't buy this laptop and for the battery here it is

139
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:24,399
73.8 W hours and the battery life they were able to extract from this thing is

140
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:29,320
incredible in our endurance test we were able to get over 11 and 1/2 hours on

141
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:34,120
battery in this thing and espe especially given this has an OLED

142
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,519
display that is incredible Intel's new

143
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:41,120
processors even though they might not be much faster are proving to be quite

144
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:44,160
efficient and I do really appreciate

145
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,240
that I misread the spec sheet I thought

146
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:50,760
this was $400 less and still a bad value

147
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,279
but this right here with 16 GB of RAM 1

148
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,600
TB SSD and RTX 4050 is

149
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:04,440
$2400 it's it's a bit of a sin cuz this overall quite a good laptop I could see

150
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:09,600
a lot of people really enjoying this thing if they didn't just have every

151
00:11:06,839 --> 00:11:14,320
single other laptop as an option at that price you could instead get a zephyris

152
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:19,920
g16 for $22,000 that has the same amount of RAM

153
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,760
and storage but an RTX 470 and I'm

154
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:28,240
pretty sure it's the exact same panel from Samsung also this is available with

155
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:31,880
up to a 470 and that config is

156
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,839
$3,000 so uh I just don't get it it

157
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:38,639
simply makes no sense for the price that they're asking to buy this laptop it's

158
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:44,040
got like a couple medium compromises like the keyboard's okay trackpads kind

159
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:50,480
of weird speakers are fine for that price it needs to be brilliant for

160
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:53,440
comparison the brand new Spectre X360

161
00:11:50,480 --> 00:12:00,160
from HP has as far as I can tell the exact same OLED panel which is a

162
00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:05,600
touchcreen 4050 same specs that one is 6

163
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:08,079
,60 compared to $2400 for this so

164
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:12,519
overall I just I have no clue where that price comes from Samsung has made the

165
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:15,920
battery they made the SSD they made the display and probably a bunch of the

166
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,839
other stuff in here and presumably they get a good price on all of those things

167
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:25,279
but you certainly do not but what you do get is a thank you from me huge thanks

168
