ASUS Zenbook S 14 (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360

The Verdict

Both laptops target premium ultrabook buyers, but serve different priorities. The ASUS Zenbook S 14 weighs just 1.20 kg and measures 14.9 mm thick, making it genuinely ultraportable with a stunning 3K OLED 120Hz display delivering 550 nits of brightness for excellent outdoor visibility. Its Intel Core Ultra 7 258V handles daily tasks efficiently, and you get 1 TB storage standard, avoiding upgrade costs. Battery life reaches 14 hours in mixed use. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 is heavier at 1.66 kg but offers a larger 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED display (though dimmer at 400 nits) with 2-in-1 convertibility via its hinge design. Its 16-core Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor delivers notably stronger performance for creative work and multitasking, supported by expandable storage and an SD card slot for flexibility. Battery life edges out to 15 hours. At $1399 versus $1749.99, the Zenbook S 14 provides exceptional value for users prioritizing portability and display quality. The Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 justifies its premium price only if you need stronger CPU performance, the 2-in-1 form factor, or expandable storage. For most users, the Zenbook S 14 is the smarter buy.
