Dell G16 (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 15"

The Verdict

These laptops serve distinctly different purposes. Dell's G16 is a gaming-focused machine with a 20-core Intel i7-14700HX processor, 240Hz QHD+ display (2560 x 1600, 300 nits), and Thunderbolt 3 connectivity that justifies its $1199 price tag. Its 86 Wh battery delivers adequate 6-hour runtime for demanding workloads. Samsung's Galaxy Book4 emphasizes portability and everyday productivity with its lighter 1.56 kg aluminum chassis, 10-hour battery life, and elegant 1920 x 1080 display. However, the 10-core 13th-gen i7-1355U processor is significantly underpowered compared to Dell's 14th-gen chip, making it unsuitable for gaming or heavy content creation. Samsung includes only 1 USB-A port versus Dell's 3, limiting peripheral flexibility. For $449 less, Galaxy Book4 targets ultraportable business use and streaming content. Dell G16 wins decisively for anyone needing gaming performance, content creation capability, or future-proofing, though its 2.82 kg weight proves less portable. Samsung excels for road warriors prioritizing battery longevity and slim design. Gaming, video editing, or 3D work? Dell wins. Coffee shop productivity and light tasks? Samsung takes it.
