HP Envy 16 (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360
The Verdict
Both laptops pack identical Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processors and 16GB RAM, delivering solid performance for productivity and light creative work. The HP Envy 16 edges ahead with its larger 16-inch 2560 x 1600 display offering more screen real estate and sharper visuals at 400 nits brightness, plus double the storage at 1TB versus Samsung's 512GB. It also includes an SD card reader and an extra USB-C port (2 vs 1), making it better for content creators. However, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 is significantly lighter at 1.65kg compared to 2.34kg, thinner at 14.9mm, and boasts superior battery longevity with 14 hours of claimed mixed-use time versus the HP's 10 hours. The Samsung's 2-in-1 AMOLED display is more vibrant than standard IPS, though its lower 1920 x 1080 resolution feels dated for a $1,349 laptop. Storage is the deciding factor for most users: the HP's extra 512GB justifies paying $50 more. If portability and battery life dominate your priorities, Samsung wins. For those needing workspace, storage, and expandability, the HP Envy 16 delivers better overall value and capability.
