Samsung recently released four Galaxy Book 4 models globally – the Galaxy Book 4 360, Galaxy Book 4 Ultra, Galaxy Book 4 Pro, and the Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360. Now Samsung is going to add another model to the lineup, the Galaxy Book 4 Edge, that will be one of the first adopters of Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite platform.
The upcoming device is positioned to compete head-to-head with Apple’s silicon-powered MacBooks, promising high performance and power efficiency. This Snapdragon X Elite powered laptop has recently surfaced on Geekbench surpassing Apple’s M1 and M2 powered devices.
Galaxy Book 4 Edge (with X Elite SoC) could offer much longer battery life
The Galaxy Book 4 Edge will leverage Qualcomm’s 12-core ARM CPU, boasting clock speeds of up to 4.3 gigahertz. Developed by a team of former Apple chip designers, this processor aims to narrow the performance gap between Windows and MacOS-based devices, challenging Apple’s M series processors.
Initial specifications reveal a 14-inch display, complemented by 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. While further details on storage and memory configurations remain undisclosed, the device is anticipated to offer premium features characteristic of high-end laptops.
Priced at around 1800 euros (~$1,968), the Galaxy Book 4 Edge is positioned in a similar range as Apple‘s latest MacBook Air. Despite the premium price tag, the Samsung laptop is expected to justify its value proposition through power-efficient operation, potentially offering significantly longer battery life compared to its counterparts.
Performance-wise, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chip has showcased impressive capabilities. In tests conducted by XDA Developers, machines powered by the chip outperformed the MacBook Air with an M2 chip, exhibiting promising single and multi-core performance metrics.
While the exact launch date of the Galaxy Book 4 Edge remains undisclosed, Qualcomm’s new SoC is slated for a mid-2024 release. As such, consumers can anticipate the Snapdragon X Elite-powered laptop to hit the shelves in the latter half of the year, offering a compelling option for those seeking enhanced performance and power efficiency.
