The Verdict
Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 16 (2024) and Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro target different priorities within the premium 16-inch laptop segment.

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro pivots toward ultraportability and all-day productivity, weighing just 1.55 km with an impressively thin 12.5 mm profile. Its Dynamic AMOLED 2X display reaches 2880x1800 resolution at 120Hz with superior color accuracy, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with 16 GB LPDDR5x handles professional tasks efficiently. Battery life stretches to 15 hours for mixed use, dual Thunderbolt ports enhance connectivity, and SD card support aids content creators. Storage caps at 512 GB, which requires expansion considerations. Choose the Legion Pro 5i for gaming, 3D rendering, and maximum performance; select the Galaxy Book4 Pro for portability, display quality, and battery endurance in professional environments.
