Samsung Electronics has unveiled the Galaxy Book4 Edge in 14- and 16-inch sizes and has been “designed from the ground up for AI”.
The 14-inch Galaxy Book4 Edge comes with a 12-core 3.4GHz Snapdragon X Elite processor with 4.0GHz Dual Core Boost, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD (up to 1TB). It has a 14-inch, 120Hz 2880 x 1800 AMOLED touchscreen capable of up to 500 nits brightness.
The 16-inch model has two versions: one with Snapdragon X Elite processor (with a boost up to 4.2GHz) and 1TB of storage, for $1,749.99, and one with the same processor as the 14-inch and 512GB of storage. Galaxy Book4 Edge is a Copilot+ PC and it will transform the way “users interact with their devices by allowing users to be more productive and creative using simple, everyday language”.
All SoCs have a Neural Processing Unit with 45 TOPS of power for local AI acceleration, which will be used for the new Windows 11 Copilot+ features and Samsung’s own Galaxy AI.
According to Samsung, you’ll now be able to connect your Galaxy phone to a Book4 Edge with Link to Windows to get all the AI features on a bigger screen. For example, using the Mirror Circle to Search with Google feature will have the results pop up on your PC for easy copy-pasting.
Samsung has said Copilot voice can also be used to send messages, set reminders and alarms, and more on your mobile device when it’s connected to the Book4 Edge.
An AI PC comes with an NPU to handle local AI tasks, freeing up the CPU and GPU for other work. Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X series chips are taking things to a new level and that’s where the term Copilot+ comes into play. It is an umbrella term to identify certain next-gen AI features coming to Windows. Only PCs with an NPU capable of at least 40 TOPS will be named Copilot+ PCs.
