Samsung Samsung - Galaxy Book4 Ultra 16" AMOLED Touch Screen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 9 - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - 1TB SSD - Moonstone Gray Review

The Galaxy Book4 Ultra is a premium powerhouse with the best laptop screen you can buy. Its RTX 4070 and sleek design make it a fantastic all-in-one for creators, but it's expensive and has average battery life. Worth it if the display and portability are top priorities.

The Galaxy Book4 Ultra is Samsung's shot at the creator laptop throne. It packs an Intel Core Ultra 9 and an RTX 4070 into a surprisingly sleek chassis, promising desktop-level power you can actually take with you.

And it mostly delivers. The star is that gorgeous 16-inch 3K OLED touchscreen, which is one of the best displays we've tested. Paired with 32GB of RAM, this is a machine built for heavy lifting in video editing, 3D rendering, and yes, some high-end gaming on the side.

Our database shows this thing is a powerhouse. The RTX 4070 GPU lands in the 87th percentile, so it chews through renders and games without breaking a sweat. The Intel Ultra 9 CPU is solid, sitting in the 79th percentile, though it's not quite the single-core monster some competitors are. The real-world feel is snappy, but the trade-off for that slim design is thermal headroom; it can get warm and the fans will spin up when you push both the CPU and GPU hard.

At roughly $3000, you're paying a premium. You're buying that incredible Samsung OLED screen, the sleek metal build, and the Galaxy ecosystem perks. The raw specs are great, but you can find similar GPU and CPU performance for less if you're willing to carry a thicker, gamier-looking laptop. The value is really in the total package—power, portability, and that display—not in being the cheapest way to get an RTX 4070.

This sits in a crowded field. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max will run circles around it in CPU tasks and battery life, but you're locked into macOS and lose touchscreen and gaming flexibility. The ASUS ProArt PX13 is a more direct Copilot+ PC rival, more portable with an OLED screen and AI chip, but with a less powerful RTX 4050 GPU. For pure gaming power per dollar, a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i will give you more GPU for the money, but in a much thicker, heavier chassis without the sublime screen. The Book4 Ultra tries to be the best of all worlds.

Skip this if you're on a tight budget or need all-day battery life for heavy work away from an outlet. Also, if you prioritize absolute silence or need the most compact 16-inch laptop possible, look at thinner ultrabooks or the MacBook Pro, because this one will get audibly warm and scores low in compactness for its size class.

Buy this if you're a creative pro or power user who values a breathtaking display and sleek design as much as raw performance. It's for the video editor, 3D artist, or hybrid creator/gamer who wants one powerful, good-looking machine to do it all and doesn't mind paying up for the Samsung polish. The Galaxy device integration is a nice bonus if you're already in that ecosystem.
