Samsung has the Galaxy Book 4 Ultra Intel Ultra 7 RTX 4050 model for $1499 through the Samsung Campus (Edu) portal. No device trade-in required. EPP portal is $100 more ($1599).

I have the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra version of this machine and it is a great laptop.

Book3 Ultra with 13900H 32GB 4070 is much more powerful than Book4 ultra with 155H 16GB 4050.

Book4 Ultra has much longer battery life and a touch screen.

If you game, book3 ultra. If not, then book4 pro 360. I don't see the point of book4 ultra 155H variant.

I have the Book 3 ultra (rtx 4050 version) right now and will be returning it. Book 4 ultra has a MUX switch, I believe, which greatly increases gaming performance…book 3 ultra does not. Also book 3 ultra rtx 4050 has a 60w TDP. From the documentation I'm reading on Samsung's specs, the book 4 ultra rtx 4050 has an 80w TDP. I'm not sure about the 4070 book ultras because I wasn't looking into them.

So how is the gaming performance on your book 3 ultra? Is it capable of most games? Thx much.

Hm, I game on my Alienware 4090, so bought the book4 360 pro for $1200. Mostly with the incentive that it doubles as a tablet...

But for $300 more, it seems to be the better option to go book3 i9, 4070. I could do some gaming then on it and use it on my 57 inch when not using it for work. Hmm

I'd like the anti-reflective screen on Ultra 4 (over Ultra 3), but $1500+tax is still TOOO MUCH for a laptop these days.

Looks pretty good spec-wise.

Huge screen at 16" to compete with MPro 16"
120Hz screen like MPro 16".
High rez 3k screen.

Discrete graphics is always good - idk performance vs. the MacBook Pro

Good enough ram - seems like it's fixed ram, the website does not show any option to add more RAM

Large SSD.

If you are a windows person, this seems like a high spec machine? although I honestly don't know how good 4050 is but it's a 4xxx series so it should be decent I assume.

If you want all day use, you'd need to bring the charger.

No one really wants the 4050 model. Only 16gb and graphics are entry level. Why even bother with the ultra in the first place? The 4070 is still too expensive.

I think Book 3 Ultra has more powerful spec. It has 4070 RTX and 32GB Ram. but TGP is 60W and other side, Book 4 Ultra's TGP is 80W.
Consider all of specs, I think Book 3 Ultra wll be better choice,
