Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14
Source: The Guardian
The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge proves that Arm-powered PCs can deliver the performance to take on the best. It is snappy, quiet and maintains its top performance even when unplugged – something Intel or AMD-powered laptops cannot manage. But where it fails to deliver is on the promise of long battery life. With eight hours of working battery it only matches the supposedly more power-hungry Intel machines, falling far short of Apple’s MacBooks that last up to twice as long. The screen is great, the keyboard is decent and the old-school trackpad is enormous. The machine is certainly thin and light, particularly in its 16in version as tested. But the design is rather dull. The Galaxy Book 4 Edge is a good, but not great machine. Unless you are a Samsung aficionado and can tap into the company’s wider ecosystem, such as its Galaxy phones and earbuds, then there are better Copilot+ PCs options available for similar money.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 3.8 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that four Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors feature, as of Sep 2024. It has 1,536 unified shaders at its disposal that are said to run at up to 1,250 MHz. The underlying architecture is reportedly in many respects the same as what was used in the Adreno 730. While thankfully faster than the aging Intel Iris Xe (96 EUs), the Adreno fails to match the Radeon 780M meaning Baldur's Gate 3, a triple-A title released in 2023, is barely playable at 1080p on low with 23 fps on average. Triple-A games of 2024 fare even worse, in no small part due to Qualcomm's subpar graphics drivers.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

USB 4.0, TB 4 and PCIe 4 support is onboard, too.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
