The Verdict

These two devices target completely different use cases. Surface Go 4 is an ultraportable tablet-laptop hybrid weighing just 1.22 pounds with a compact 10.5-inch touchscreen, ideal for note-taking and light productivity on the move. Galaxy Book4 360 is a full-featured 15.6-inch convertible laptop at 3.6 pounds with a vibrant 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED display, offering significantly more processing power through its 16-core Intel Core Ultra 7 processor versus Go 4's modest Intel N200. Storage differences are substantial: Galaxy Book4 provides 512GB NVMe compared to Go 4's limited 128GB UFS. Battery performance favors Galaxy Book4 with 68Wh capacity delivering up to 14 hours versus Go 4's 28Wh for 12.5 hours. Galaxy Book4 includes dual Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, and dual USB-A connections while Go 4 offers minimal connectivity with just one USB-C and SD card slot. Pricing reflects capability disparities at $1,349 versus $579. Go 4 excels for portability and casual computing; Galaxy Book4 suits professionals needing serious multitasking, content creation, and multimedia performance. Budget-conscious buyers should choose Go 4 for ultraportability, while those prioritizing power and screen real estate should invest in Galaxy Book4.
