00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.399
on paper this Samsung Galaxy book looks

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:09.120
absolutely exceptional the only thing is

00:00:06.399 --> 00:00:13.120
though knowing Samsung they it up somehow let's figure out what it is open

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:18.680
the computer press the power button that's what you need to do warranty

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.400
don't care about that here we have 140 W

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:25.000
charger which is all being delivered over USB

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:29.679
type-c damn it that's not what I wanted to do oh

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

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

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

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:49.000
right here and my first impressions are that it's quite well built on the right

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:54.520
we have a micro SD card reader USB type a headphone microphone combo Jack on the

00:00:51.920 --> 00:01:00.320
left hand side two Thunderbolt 4S and HDMI 2.1 I do really like how the

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

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:10.720
experience with Samsung laptops has been that they have incredible screens and

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:12.799
the rest kind of just sucks but right

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:19.680
here this feels vastly improved we have an all metal chassis pushing on it it

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:21.000
feels really great damn before we go any

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:27.799
further there's one thing that I really need to do this sticker is super crooked

00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:31.439
I'm just going to get rid of it oh back

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.200
to oh I this is was a mistake I have

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

00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:41.640
thanks to charge for sponsoring this video while the galaxy book should in

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:48.040
theory last you all day the Shar geeek 170 power bank is jam-packed with a

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:50.680
24,000 milliamp hour capacity meaning

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

00:01:53.240 --> 00:02:01.159
threshold with a single USBC Port supporting two-way charging of up to 140

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:03.520
WS thanks to its PD 3 3.1 standard which

00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.439
means it both charges and gets charged super quick and while you're charging

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

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.160
170 has two USBC ports and one USB a

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:19.160
port for added versatility plus you can even monitor your charging process with

00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:22.519
their built-in informative display so check out this beastly battery buddy and

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:27.040
give your devices the charge they deserve at the link down below wow that

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

00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:38.000
their noox chip is actually pretty cool is its own dedicated chip that secures

00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:42.360
all of your sensitive stuff in its own little area for enhanced not getting

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

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:51.120
drunk like they have some really brutal Mouse acceleration on it and I just keep

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

00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:00.519
missed it completely missed it not even close it feels really jelly and you can

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.920
kind of see that it seems like the pulling rate is

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:09.480
also really low I'm almost certain that's a touchpad problem and nothing to

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:14.879
do with like the display one sec yeah that's awesome that is

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:18.879
absolutely perfect you can see like I'm moving it across here it looks really

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.280
really nice on this display one other thing that I just noticed is that you

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:26.560
don't actually get the full display if you look we have rounded corners on the

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:31.599
edges it's something that they did on the uh surfaces and I guess they're

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.560
doing here as well oh my God M's acceleration anyway anyway anyway specs

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:43.760
specs the specs are good in here we have an Intel Core Ultra 7

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.959
155h that is 16 cores 22 threads and

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

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

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:59.480
7467 megat transfers per second so you

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

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.159
we have a 512 GB nbme SSD from Samsung

00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:13.640
love to see it you guys make excellent drives we also have arc graphics an npu

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

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

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.800
good one and also for Content creation like video editing photo editing all of

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

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:37.080
tgp which is very healthy for a 40/50 you'll be getting most of the

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:41.720
performance out of it a it's a touchcreen we''ve got OLED we've got

00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:45.800
touch we've got oh my God this thing looks good this also has a dynamic

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

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

00:04:52.680 --> 00:05:01.120
frame pacing and games it's more so just for power savings the resolution also is

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:04.880
a little bit more than quad h D so 2880

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:07.039
by 1800p and hot damn this thing is

00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:13.440
excellent the brightness on this panel is fantastic in SDR you get 400 nits and

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:16.960
in HDR 600 nits and for both of those that is full screen brightness so you

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.160
don't have anything where like a little tiny window gets super bright and then

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

00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:30.520
what you get that full brightness out of those OLED pixels and look at that pitch

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:35.240
black of course this is a Samsung device so out of the box everything is pretty

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:40.319
saturated on display but it has heaps of color profiles so if you just clamp it

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

00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:51.639
expect less than two if you want to do professional color work so you can do

00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:54.199
that on here also in HDR the content on

00:05:51.639 --> 00:06:00.039
this looks fantastic and we measured an average Delta e of 13.4 which is really

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:03.919
quite good cuz HDR you are getting both the color and the brightness to match

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:08.360
which is a bit more difficult and this display does a fantastic job of that

00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:11.599
just look at this for a second Andrew like like just the background these

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.680
little details right here one thing I did miss before cuz we

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

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

00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:28.960
premium device is the keyboard good though there is one thing that's kind of

00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:32.440
annoying about this we have an international version of the keyboard

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

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:37.880
hand side but oh well I'll deal with

00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:47.360
that I don't know how I feel about this keyboard if I'm honest objectively

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

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

00:06:55.960 --> 00:07:02.400
force is really quite good and the chassis is nice and stiff so it's really

00:07:00.039 --> 00:07:06.720
nice and consistent there is I think it's a little bit stiffer on the right

00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:11.039
hand side compared to the left but it's not too bad that said though the

00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:15.720
actuation profile is super weird like there's no pre-act tuation if that makes

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

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:24.680
is that now that I've touched it more there is definitely some inconsistencies

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:28.800
in the switching Force like some of them take a little bit more Force than others

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

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:37.039
like you're really thonking you're you're thonking the keyboard overall

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

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

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

00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:53.280
and just be ripping on it performance- wise here are the results from the Labs

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

00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.280
it's not particularly large but at the

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.520
same time it got AB absolutely smashed by the ASUS G14 which is both smaller

00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:09.919
and cheaper so if you're looking for actual just raw performance this is not

00:08:08.440 --> 00:08:14.560
what you want in here we have two wolfers that I reach 5 watts and two

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.879
tweeters that I reach two Watts which should be very good sounding especially

00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:22.639
since they were tuned by AKG it's clear the mids seem pretty

00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:29.919
decent okay that's not too bad that's not too bad I can jam to

00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:35.839
that all right let's let's see how it compares to a MacBook Pro 14

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:39.839
in killed

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:47.640
murdered nice and clear nice and

00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:50.040
clear not even

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

00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:59.720
megapixel and Samsung of course on all of their phones has been doing an

00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:04.120
excellent job with their cameras and it looks like they have applied that here

00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.640
too this is having a bit of trouble directly into the lights but it's still

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

00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:18.320
problem at all looks nice and clear and crisp and overall seems pretty good do

00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:22.399
we have facial recognition no compatible camera oh sadness we do have a

00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.640
fingerprint reader up here on the right hand side which is on top of the power

00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:29.839
button best spot to have it but that said I do wish that there was facial

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

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

00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:42.800
to remove these oh that actually come off really easily normally these are

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

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

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.480
not so good four rubber feet four Phillips head screws and a bunch of

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

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

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:08.720
replaceable SSD right here and an upgrade slot right there for a second

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

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

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

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

00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:34.120
battery in this thing and espe especially given this has an OLED

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:35.519
display that is incredible Intel's new

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:41.120
processors even though they might not be much faster are proving to be quite

00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:44.160
efficient and I do really appreciate

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:47.240
that I misread the spec sheet I thought

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:50.760
this was $400 less and still a bad value

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:53.279
but this right here with 16 GB of RAM 1

00:10:50.760 --> 00:10:56.600
TB SSD and RTX 4050 is

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

00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:09.600
a lot of people really enjoying this thing if they didn't just have every

00:11:06.839 --> 00:11:14.320
single other laptop as an option at that price you could instead get a zephyris

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:19.920
g16 for $22,000 that has the same amount of RAM

00:11:16.760 --> 00:11:21.760
and storage but an RTX 470 and I'm

00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:28.240
pretty sure it's the exact same panel from Samsung also this is available with

00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:31.880
up to a 470 and that config is

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.839
$3,000 so uh I just don't get it it

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

00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:44.040
got like a couple medium compromises like the keyboard's okay trackpads kind

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:50.480
of weird speakers are fine for that price it needs to be brilliant for

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:53.440
comparison the brand new Spectre X360

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

00:11:55.680 --> 00:12:05.600
touchcreen 4050 same specs that one is 6

00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:08.079
,60 compared to $2400 for this so

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:12.519
overall I just I have no clue where that price comes from Samsung has made the

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:15.920
battery they made the SSD they made the display and probably a bunch of the

00:12:13.880 --> 00:12:20.839
other stuff in here and presumably they get a good price on all of those things

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

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:29.639
for watching this video hit like get subscribed and have a great all day see

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.639
you later
