Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy Book 4 Edge, its first laptop with the Snapdragon X Elite chipset. It gets the Copilot+ PC badge from Microsoft, which means it has a powerful NPU (45 TOPS) for offline AI processing.

This announcement comes moments after Microsoft’s special event, where the company launched its own Surface laptop with the same Snapdragon chip and showcased Snapdragon-powered Windows laptops from all other OEMs.

The Galaxy Book 4 Edge comes in two sizes: 14-inch (Edge) and 16-inch (Edge Pro). Both laptops use the Snapdragon X Elite processor with 12 CPU cores, Adreno GPU, and a dedicated NPU with 45 TOPS performance.

They have Dynamic AMOLED 2x touchscreens with 3K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 120% color gamut coverage, a ten-point multitouch, and an anti-reflection coating. They will likely be able to run HDR content through apps like Netflix and Prime Video.

The Galaxy Book 4 Edge (14-inch) has a tenkeyless keyboard, two USB 4.0 (Thunderbolt 3) ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Galaxy Book 4 Edge has all those features and replaces the tenkeyless keyboard with a full-sized one with a numpad. It also has an additional USB Type-A port and a microSD card slot.

The Galaxy Book 4 Edge Pro has a 61.8Wh battery and 65W charging. The Galaxy Book 4 Edge has a 55.9Wh battery. They both likely feature Full HD webcams (not confirmed yet), stereo speakers, and fingerprint readers with Windows Hello. They also feature Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7.
