Last week, a major leak revealed detailed specifications of Samsung‘s next-gen laptop offerings, the Galaxy Book 4 series. The same source has now shared images of the new laptops, giving us an early look at their design. The leaked renders show Samsung is keeping the design mostly unchanged from the Galaxy Book 3. We don’t yet have a launch date for the upcoming models.
Galaxy Book 4 laptops show up in renders
Samsung is readying a sequel to every model in the Galaxy Book 3 series. So we have five new laptops on the horizon. There’s the standard Galaxy Book 4 and a beefed-up Galaxy Book 4 Pro, with both models getting “360” versions. The latter laptops feature a 360-degree hinge, allowing you to rotate the screen all the way back for a tablet-like experience. The Galaxy Book 4 Ultra leads the line with the most powerful specs of the lot.
All five Galaxy Book 4 models sport a sleek and classy design with relatively thin display bezels. The presence of a full keyboard, including the number pad, means the touchpad isn’t positioned at the center. According to Windows Report, the source of these renders, Samsung is offering the same set of input/output ports. We have one USB 3.2 port, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI port, a MicroSD card reader, and a 3.5 headphone/mic jack.
The images shared by the publication show the Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI ports on the left side of the laptop, with the other three ports on the right. A microphone hole can also be seen on the left side. The report suggests all five models will keep the same layout for holes and ports. The overall design is identical to the Galaxy Book 3 series, with Samsung seemingly focusing on performance improvements over aesthetics.
The entire lineup is powered by Intel processors
Samsung’s Galaxy Book 4 laptops feature Intel processors. The base Galaxy Book 4 and Galaxy Book 4 360 have the Core i5 chipset, while the two Pro models upgrade to the Core i7. If you pick the Galaxy Book 4 Ultra, you get the Intel Core i9 185H processor with a clock speed of 5.1GHz, 24MB of L3 cache, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 1TB of NVMe SSD storage.
The Korean firm is giving you AMOLED displays on all but one model—the base model has an LED panel. It also languishes with Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6, while the other four models have Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E. The base Galaxy Book 4 shares an Intel graphics card with its 360 version. The Galaxy Book 4 Pro and Galaxy Book 4 360 Pro get Intel Arc Graphics. Finally, the Ultra model ships with the NVIDIA GeForce 4070 GPU.
