Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra review

pcgamer.com:

PC gaming is not what you might call a cheap hobby. A thousand of your local currency units doesn't go far once the old red mist descends and you start on the path toward obsessive acquisition of processor cores, TFLOPS, and always, always bigger numbers. And if you're looking at spending more than three thousand of those currency units, then you'll be expecting something extremely special.

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra costs more than three thousand units whether you're pricing it in dollars, pounds, or euros. Its pricing is up there with the MacBook Pro and Predator Helios 18, and as distasteful as it is to talk about money when I could be rhapsodising about frame rates the simple fact is that if frames are all you care about then skip over to the latest from MSI, Asus, or any of the other usual suspects where you'll find things more to your taste.

The Galaxy Book4 Ultra isn't really a gaming laptop at all, it just kinda looks like one. Albeit a skinny one. The combination of the Core Ultra 9 (Meteor Lake, 16 total cores) and GeForce RTX 4070 certainly make it useful in that area, and the 16-inch, 3K, 120 Hz, AMOLED touchscreen is a lovely thing to look at, but it comes with RTX Studio drivers installed (and there's a sticker to that effect just below the keyboard) pointing to an intended usage in the creative arts instead.

Swapping over to the Game Ready drivers is a matter of a few clicks in the GeForce Experience software, or the newer Nvidia App, however, after which it becomes broadly comparable to any other RTX 4070-toting laptop.

There's a small amount of confusion over how much power the GPU
