Samsung Is Including a $500 Monitor With This New Galaxy Laptop
Samsung really wants you to get its new Galaxy Book4 Edge laptop, so much so that it's willing to give you a 43-inch Samsung M7 Smart Monitor worth $499.99. The Galaxy Book4 Edge starts at $1,349.99 and is one of Microsoft's new Copilot+ PCs, bringing many AI features to Microsoft 365 users.
Copilot began as Microsoft's version of ChatGPT, and is now being integrated into high-end laptops called Copilot+ PCs. The Galaxy Book4 Edge is one of the latest examples from Samsung—it comes with aSnapdragon X Elite 3.4GHz, which is a high-performing processor for power users who need to multitask or create multimedia. It has 16BG of RAM and comes with 512GB of storage. The screen is a 14-inch touchscreen AMOLED display and has 2,880 by 1,800 pixels of resolution.
According to the review above from Ho Young Won, the speakers aren't great, with distortion at high volumes. The multitasking performance seems flawless, and is good enough to run most games on Steam without overheating, as long as you don't mind some loud fans running. As is the case with most new laptops, there are fixable bugs that will likely be addressed with updates. Samsung says the battery will run for up to 20 hours, but most users will get about six to nine hours, which is on par with most Windows laptops.
The 43-inch Smart Monitor M7 is also new, launching on June 4, 2024. It is a 4K smart monitor that comes with Samsung TV Plus, so you can watch live TV channels and your favorite streaming apps.
