I recently got my hands on the Galaxy Book4 Edge 14", and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. This device is incredibly snappy and super lightweight, making it a joy to carry around and use on the go.
Despite downgrading from a laptop with 32GB of RAM and a Ryzen 5 3000 series processor, the Galaxy Book4 Edge 14" feels faster. It even handles some of the games I used to play on my old computer, which is a pleasant surprise. While I primarily game on my Steam Deck, having the option to play some games on this laptop is a nice bonus.
There have been reports about the audio quality being subpar, but my experience has been quite the opposite. The audio is clear and loud, and I've even noticed the Dolby Atmos effect at very low volumes. The device does get a bit hot, but I use rear foldable plastic risers to improve ventilation and keyboard access, which helps a lot.
Speaking of the keyboard, typing on this laptop is an absolute delight. Many people talk about key travel, and I find this keyboard to be one of the best I've ever typed on. As a fluent typist, I appreciate the comfortable and responsive keys. The touchpad is also nice, with gestures and a satisfying feel while swiping. I haven't experienced any accidental touches while typing, which is great.
The battery life is another standout feature. I've never had a Windows laptop that lasted more than around 4 hours, but with the Galaxy Book4 Edge 14", I can get through a full 8-hour work shift and still have more than 30% battery left.
Overall, the Galaxy Book4 Edge 14" is a fantastic device. It's one of the nicest laptops I've ever used, and I hope to keep it for several years, just like my old laptop.
The computer is excellent except for one area. I have poor vision and purchased it because of the excellent display. The problem is that the keyboard is hard to read. Very small letters and colors that while pleasing are difficult to read. Larger letters in a darker color would be better.

So far very happy with the Galaxy Book4 Edge! I got the 14" and it is beautiful. I do not game or use it for business, but it seems powerful enough if I did. I love how it is so compatible with my Galaxy S23 Ultra phone. I am sure I haven't even touched the surface on everything this laptop can do. Shipping was quick and easy and love how light and thin it is.
Needed a new PC for school wanted something then and light with long battery life. I have been impressed with this computer the battery life is enough to last all day. It is light enough to just toss in a bag and go you don't even realize it is there. The display is probably the best I have seen on a laptop at this price point. If you need a PC for light productivity and all day battery life you can't go wrong. If you need something with some graphics power in it you will need to look at something else.
