The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge has a 61.8 watt-hour battery that died on the 21-hour mark. It’s not the 24-hour outcome we noticed with the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6, however 21 hours is nothing to sneeze at, particularly for a 16-inch laptop computer with an OLED display screen.

You’d suppose the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge’s 16-inch 2880×1800 OLED can be a drain on the battery, however we imagine the lengthy battery life is a direct results of the power-efficient Snapdragon X Elite X1E-84-100 processor. This CPU is a step up from the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100 that’s contained in the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 6, and this higher-tier processor provides higher efficiency for barely shorter battery life.

Plus, based mostly on our testing, laptops with Intel Core or AMD processors are inclined to have shorter battery life than these with Snapdragon processors, that are designed to be extra power-efficient.

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge is a wonderful Snapdragon X Elite-powered PC with a ravishing show, lengthy battery life, and nice construct high quality. However you’re paying further for the high-end Snapdragon X Elite {hardware} on the 16-inch mannequin, and it doesn’t ship the large efficiency bump you would possibly anticipate.
