ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 15"
The Verdict
ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 targets creative professionals while Samsung Galaxy Book4 15 serves everyday users on a tighter budget. The ASUS dominates display performance with its 2880 x 1620 OLED screen delivering 600 nits brightness and 120Hz refresh rate, significantly outpacing the Galaxy Book4's 1920 x 1080 IPS panel at 300 nits and 60Hz. Processing power favors ASUS substantially: the Core i9-13900H with 14 cores crushes the Galaxy Book4's Core i7-1355U with 10 cores, delivering roughly 40 percent better multi-threaded performance. Port connectivity tips toward ASUS with dual USB-A ports, SD card reader, and Thunderbolt support versus Galaxy Book4's single USB-A and no SD slot. Battery life swings opposite: Galaxy Book4 achieves 10 hours versus ASUS's 7 hours, though the ASUS carries a larger 70 Wh capacity. Weight nearly matches, with Samsung slightly lighter at 3.44 lbs. At $1099, ASUS justifies premium pricing for creators needing color-accurate displays and rendering speed. Galaxy Book4's $749 price point appeals to students and office workers prioritizing portability and endurance over performance. Choose ASUS for professional content creation; pick Samsung for daily computing with superior battery longevity.
