HP Dragonfly G4 vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360
The Verdict
HP's Dragonfly G4 targets mobile professionals with its ultraportable 0.99 kg magnesium chassis and compact 13.5-inch OLED display, delivering superior screen quality at 400 nits with a 3:2 aspect ratio ideal for productivity work. Samsung's Galaxy Book4 360 weighs considerably more at 1.65 kg but compensates with a larger 15.6-inch AMOLED 2X touchscreen, 120Hz refresh rate, and a 2-in-1 convertible design that the Dragonfly lacks. Performance slightly favors Samsung, with the Core Ultra 7 155H's 16 cores and 2LPE efficiency cores outpacing the i7-1365U's 10-core configuration on multi-threaded tasks. Battery life runs nearly identical at 13 hours for HP versus 14 hours for Samsung. Connectivity differs meaningfully: Dragonfly offers 2 Thunderbolt ports but only 1 USB-A, while Galaxy Book4 360 provides better USB-A access with 2 ports plus 1 USB-C alongside 2 Thunderbolt connections. Samsung includes Windows 11 Home rather than Pro, and costs $450 less at $1,349. The Dragonfly G4 excels for those prioritizing portability and display quality for document work, while the Galaxy Book4 360 suits users needing versatility, larger canvas, and stronger CPU performance without breaking the bank.
