Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360
The Verdict
Both laptops excel in portability but target different priorities. Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 weighs just 1.12 kg with premium carbon fiber construction, offering exceptional OLED display options at 2880 x 1800 resolution and 90Hz refresh rates, paired with up to 15 hours battery life. Samsung's Galaxy Book4 360 delivers a larger 15.6-inch 120Hz AMOLED touchscreen, 2-in-1 convertible flexibility, and newer Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor with superior multi-threaded performance. However, the Galaxy Book4 weighs 1.65 kg and uses older LPDDR5x RAM. ThinkPad maintains the edge in pure ultrabook portability and display quality, while Galaxy Book4 provides better value through larger screen real estate, higher refresh rate, and newer chipset. Choose ThinkPad for professional mobility; select Galaxy Book4 for versatility and screen size.
