Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge
Starting at $1,349.99
(includes free 50-inch Samsung 4K TV; paid My Best Buy membership required)
Samsung announced its new Snapdragon X-powered Galaxy Book4 Edge on Monday as part of its new collection of AI laptops. Comprising its collection of Windows on ARM laptops are 14- and 16-inch Galaxy Book4 Edge laptops, which the company says have been created to use AI. And if you want to get in on the ground floor with these PCs, you’re going to want to pre-order one now.
As of May 22, shoppers can reserve the Galaxy Book4 Edge through Best Buy or Samsung.com. (Both retailers throw in a free 50-inch Samsung 4K TV worth $379.99, though the former locks it behind a paid My Best Buy membership.) The 14-inch model starts at $1,349.99, while the 16-inch version starts at $1,449.99. It’s set to ship on June 18, so there’s just about a month left to wait if you’re ready to jump in and start using your new laptop as soon as possible.
Notably, these new computers come with a neural processing unit with 45 TOPS of power to assist with local AI tasks. They’ll be used for the new Windows 11 Copilot+ features as well as support for Samsung Galaxy AI.

You also start with a 512GB SSD, a webcam, quad speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and more all packed into a 2.6 to 3.4 pound chassis, depending on which screen size you go for.
