Introducing Galaxy Book4 Series: The Most Intelligent and Powerful Galaxy Book Yet
The Galaxy Book4 Series combines ultra-portable design, elevated performance, and boundless connectivity to reshape the PC experience
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Dec. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. *today announced the release of its most intelligent PC lineup yet: the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra, Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 and Galaxy Book4 Pro. The latest Galaxy Book4 Series comes with a new intelligent processor, a more vivid and interactive display^1, and is secured by Knox — beginning a new era of Samsung AI PCs that can offer enhanced productivity.^1 These AI enhancements also elevate the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem and form part of the company’s vision of AI innovation — for both today and tomorrow.
“Samsung is committed to empowering people to experience new possibilities that enhance their everyday lives. This new paradigm can be achieved through our expansive Galaxy ecosystem and open collaboration with other industry leaders,” *said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics*. “The Galaxy Book4 Series plays a key role in bringing seamless connectivity to our ecosystem that will broaden how people interact with their PC, phone, tablet and other devices for truly intelligent and connected experiences.”
*Intelligent Productivity Leveled up by Secure Performance*
The Galaxy Book4 Series is equipped with an intelligent processor for powerful performance. The latest Series comes with a new *Intel*^*®** Core*^*™** Ultra 9 *processor that combines a faster CPU, a higher-performance GPU and a newly added NPU into a single package^2. Coupled with Intel’s industry-first AI PC Acceleration program — which includes more than 100 AI applications from independent software vendors, the new processor enables exciting new AI capabilities for users. The *NVIDIA*^*®** GeForce RTX*^*™** 4070* Laptop GPU^3 takes the user experience to the next level. Creativity is supercharged with fast, generative AI-based creation tools backed by NVIDIA Studio technology that allow you to create stunning images with simple text in seconds with RTX-optimized Stable Diffusion. Galaxy Book4 Ultra users can also immerse themselves in games with NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology that creates higher quality images for over 500 ray-traced popular games and applications.
The Galaxy Book4 Ultra also lowers heat and fan noise with a new *cooling system*, including an 11 percent wider vapor chamber and a dual fan with an uneven blade spacing design^4. You can use your device for a longer time on a single charge thanks to *increased power efficiency*^5. Galaxy Book4 Ultra users can also quickly top up an additional 55 percent battery life in just 30 minutes^6 using the *140W adaptor*^4 that is 1.4 times larger than its predecessor.
Data privacy and security have become increasingly important, that’s why Samsung is building on its legacy of security with Samsung Knox and enhanced security measures at the chipset level for the Galaxy Book Series for the first time. All three models have a new *discrete Samsung Knox security chip* that secures critical system data separately, adding to existing multi-layered security efforts with Intel and Microsoft.
*Stunning Display and Next-level Connectivity to Perform Anytime, Anywhere*
The Galaxy Book4 Series upgraded display gives you a clear view, so you can stay productive while on the go. The Series boasts an incredible viewing experience with a *Dynamic AMOLED 2X display* that offers clear contrast and vivid colour. *Vision Booster* uses an Intelligent Outdoor Algorithm to automatically enhance visibility and colour reproduction in bright conditions, while *anti-reflective technology*^7 reduces distracting reflections. With a *touchscreen* now added to all three models, the Galaxy Book4 Series not only delivers a clear viewing experience but is also more interactive — offering a familiar touch-based user interface, similar to the experience on your smartphone or tablet.
Advanced audio is just as important for a well-rounded PC experience with high octaves and rich bass delivered by *AKG Quad speakers with Dolby Atmos*^*®* for clear and crisp sound. Dual microphones with *bi-directional AI noise canceling* capture your voice clearly during video calls, even in noisy outdoor environments. When paired with Galaxy Buds2 Pro, *LE Audio*^8 — an advanced Bluetooth audio standard — enables realistic sounds with reduced latency to make experiences such as gaming more immersive. *Auto Switch*^9 allows you to seamlessly connect your Galaxy Buds to multiple devices — from your smartphone, tablet and watch to your TV and now PC — so you can enjoy listening to your devices without manual input. A *large touchpad* and *a wide range of ports* — including a new HDMI 2.1 port — are also designed to enhance the usability of the Galaxy Book4 Series. All these features are packed in *a slim and light design* that opens powerful possibilities on the go.
Together with Galaxy smartphones and tablets, Galaxy Book4 Series users can benefit from even more enhanced productivity and creativity features. Designed to help everyone be a creator, *Samsung Studio*^10, a new video creation tool available across Samsung Galaxy devices, allows you to continue editing videos made on your phone or tablet in more detail on your PC. *Photo Remaster*, now available on Samsung Gallery for PC, lets you quickly correct photos and automatically erase unwanted shadows and reflections with AI-enabled optimization. *Second Screen*^11 allows you to use your tablet as a monitor for your Galaxy Book4 and elevate your productivity with a variety of display modes such as Duplicate, Extension and now Rotation.
*Availability*^12
The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Series will be progressively made available in select markets including Canada in 2024. The Series comes in a refined and minimal finish with a wider variety of recycled materials, including plastics, glass, and aluminum^13.
*Peace of Mind with Samsung Care+*
With a Samsung Care+ Plan, Canadians can experience total care service for their new Galaxy Smartphone, Laptop, Tablet or Wearable device. Users will be protected for up to two years against physical or liquid damage and mechanical malfunction or defects, with a team of dedicated Galaxy experts available to help them get back on track^14.
