Hello, this is Techmong. Finally, a proper AMD Windows laptop has been released. Compared to the latest 1kg-class laptop released recently, it shows much better performance and the battery lasts much longer. Of course, since these are AMD-based now, compatibility is not perfect compared to regular laptops, but it has still improved a lot. You don't need to deal with complex settings, just run it and it will convert and run automatically. So in this video, I will take a closer look at the Galaxy Book Pro, which many people are curious about the chipset it contains. Well, I've talked a lot about AMD and regular laptops, but for those unfamiliar with the terms, let me first explain the concepts briefly. So far, regular Windows PC laptops have been developed based on a standard called x86. But this method is a bit old-fashioned, so the heat dissipation is.

It's severe and the efficiency is a bit low, so the battery drains quickly. As a result, it's not very suitable for mobile devices that we carry around, unlike desktops. That's why smartphones and tablets we usually use are developed with ARM architecture, which is good for heat dissipation and power efficiency, making the battery last much longer. This ARM architecture is excellent for mobile devices. However, why hasn't this excellent ARM architecture been widely used in Windows? Developing with this architecture is different from the x86 architecture used in the past, so the existing programs are not compatible. Therefore, Windows laptops using this ARM chipset have had some difficulties in development. Now, in this video, do you get a sense of what is important? How good is the performance of the Galaxy Book Pro, based on this ARM architecture? How good is the power efficiency, and how long does the battery last?

Fever, how about compatibility, things like that, right? So, I will first show you the product briefly and then explain it step by step. First of all, the Galaxy Book Pro comes in two versions: a 1kg range 14-inch and a 1kg range 16-inch. Usually, the larger 16-inch size is more popular in the market, so most of the tests in this video will be explained based on this product. Regardless of size, the colors are silver and sky blue mixed in a unique sapphire blue single color. The inside of the product is also finished in the same color. In terms of ports, both the 14-inch and 16-inch models have two USB-C ports, a full-size HDMI 2.1 port, and an audio jack. Only the 16-inch model has a USB-A port and a microSD card slot in addition to these. And looking at this C-type port, if it does not support Thunderbolt, then it is not.

You can do it, but this one supports Thunderbolt. To be precise, it's not Thunderbolt 4, but USB 4 based on Thunderbolt 3. Even if you plug in a Thunderbolt device, it recognizes it, and the speed also comes out at Thunderbolt level. So, those who were worried about Thunderbolt compatibility don't need to worry. Next, let's look at the display. This Galaxy Book Pro has a display finish like Samsung's premium notebooks, all integrated into glass, which looks very neat. The display panel is a 16:10 aspect ratio 3K WQXGA OLED display, and the actual image quality is really good. It also has anti-glare treatment, and the touchscreen is responsive. Unfortunately, you can't use a pen separately, and the screen brightness is.

I'm generally on the brighter side with 400 nits, but sometimes Samsung laptops have a feature called Vision Boost Live in the Boost library. However, this product doesn't have that feature in Samsung settings. But if you turn on this feature in Windows settings, the maximum brightness in a bright environment goes up to over 500 nits. Also, the hinge of this display allows stable opening with one hand, and the maximum angle it can be adjusted to is this much. When you look at it up to this point, compared to just an ordinary Samsung premium laptop, there isn't a big difference. But the real deal starts now. Well then, it's time to examine the performance that many people are curious about. Before the performance test, there is something that must be done without fail, which is to dismantle the product a bit. As mentioned earlier, ARM-based laptops tend to have quite a bit of heat dissipation because x86 laptops sometimes do not have cooling fans inside.

Many laptops come with a fanless design, but I wonder how the Galaxy Book Pro 360 is. If it has a fan, how often does it turn on and how noisy is it? I took a closer look at the product, and I confirmed that it indeed has a fan. However, when I flipped it over because the lower cover felt a bit bulky, I was really surprised. As someone who considers themselves a tech YouTuber and has reviewed laptops, I have never seen such a structure in a portable laptop before. The bottom plate is really sturdy. The storage structure is also very robust, especially with this thick foam padding under the battery area. If there was no foam padding and the storage structure at the bottom was weak, when you hold the laptop like this and press down on the bottom, it would...

When you push it in or when there is no sound, it often feels a bit lacking, but the Book Folio Edge is very solid when you press the bottom plate like this. So, I thought, Ah, they really made it sturdy this time. The 14-inch doesn't have this kind of structure, only the 16-inch has this structure applied. Of course, the 14-inch's lower cover is also made of aluminum, and the reinforcement plate is well done, so it is sturdy enough. If you press the bottom of the 16-inch, you can definitely feel a difference in the depth it goes in and the stability. And by handling the bottom plate like this, it can absorb the impact that goes to the battery when impacted, and it can also help dissipate the heat generated from the battery widely. So, when these things are included, the product price goes up, and the weight increases, but Samsung considers not only weight important but also a bit more about product quality.

It seems like they are talking about paying more attention. Also, upon looking inside again, both the 14-inch and 16-inch models have two coolers, and heat is dissipated around the high-temperature area. As you might have expected, the cooling system of the 16-inch model is better equipped than that of the 14-inch model. This means that the performance of the 16-inch model will be slightly better than that of the 14-inch model. But I wonder if they could have made a penless model altogether, do they really need to include a pen? However, considering that the Qualcomm-made Snapdragon x Elite set emphasizes performance so much, I think they designed it this way. Now, we need to see how often this pen is used and how much noise it generates. If we look further inside, we can compare the 14-inch and 16-inch models.

Everyone, there are four speakers like this, and you cannot add or replace storage devices separately. I won't mention the speakers separately, okay? Good. It's at a similar level to other Samsung premium notebooks. The battery capacity, as you expected, is larger in the 16-inch model compared to the 14-inch. Now, let's move on to the performance test. Many people are expected to purchase the 16-inch model used for the test, especially the high-performance version exclusively for Samsung, but I will conduct the test with the basic version. It's worth noting that the firmware version of the model I tested is not the mass-produced final firmware. Oh, before we start the actual test, let me just briefly mention that when I usually conduct performance tests, I consider the power consumption in various situations.

How it works, then we'll draw that on a graph and explain it, right? But this product cannot read various CPU information, including power consumption, from any software, including hardware info. That's about it. So, I thought about how to explain this for better understanding. I will compare the test results with a popular 1kg-class latest laptop these days and talk about it. I won't mention the exact product name due to certain circumstances, but for those who know a bit about tech or have watched many of my videos, you might roughly guess what products I'm talking about. Anyway, even in this situation, I am really trying my best to deliver good information to all of you.

So, if you haven't subscribed to my channel yet, please subscribe. The first thing I will show you is the PC test, which is most commonly used in the Cinebench. When I originally reviewed laptops, I used Cinebench R23 for better comparison with other devices that were used before. However, in an AMD environment, the performance was a bit lower, so I will use the Cinebench 2024 model designed for AMD. This test took much longer, but the score difference was much smaller when tested multiple times. So, I tried testing it once, and wow, I was surprised by the results. The multi-score is 927, and the single score is 115. At first, I doubted if I saw the score correctly. Please don't compare this score with Cinebench R23; this score is quite good based on Cinebench 2024 standards.

In terms of performance, when compared to other 1kg-class latest laptops, typically, a single-core score is around 100 points, and for multi-core, it usually reaches about 500 points. However, this one has a multi-core score that is nearly double that, which is impressive. So, you can imagine how good this score is. I wish I could show you by lining up various other laptops, but I can't show you all of them, which is a bit regrettable. Also, this benchmark score is quite impressive. This Cinebench benchmark is really a tough benchmark, so when testing, usually, the cooler spins and makes a lot of noise. But with this one, even though the cooler is spinning, the noise is really minimal. It doesn't make as much noise as a typical x86 laptop, maybe around 40% to 50% less. So, I thought that with this setup, the internal heat generation might be well expelled outward.

It occurs less frequently. Typically, the temperature of the outlet structure where hot air comes out is common to exceed 50 degrees for an x86 notebook, or the highest temperature only reaches around 43 degrees at most. The temperature of the keyboard part is even lower than that. So, the performance is much better, the noise is also good, and the temperature is much lower. So, I am very satisfied. However, when we usually test PC notebooks, we often use Cinebench a lot, but this tests the performance in extreme situations. To see how the performance comes out in more realistic situations, it is more useful to test alternately with easy tasks and difficult tasks using Geekbench. So, I also ran this test, but I was really surprised several times here. First of all, during this test, the fan doesn't run at all. I tested it in silent mode.

I thought I did well, but after seeing the score, I realized I didn't. The single scored nearly 2800 points, while the multi scored close to 15,000 points. This is quite significant. When compared to a similar recent x86 Windows laptop, the difference is substantial. I thought the performance would significantly decrease if I unplugged the adapter, but it didn't decrease much. It still provides almost 90% of the performance. Qualcomm seems confident in the Snapdragon x Elite performance, but I wonder why. So, now, instead of CPU tests, I will conduct a performance test that automatically evaluates how smoothly it runs tasks like general document work, email tasks, and web surfing. Until now, I have set this laptop to high-performance mode to achieve the best performance, but for this test, I will use the default settings without any adjustments and see how it performs in typical tasks.

When you work, how comfortable it is to watch Z, I will set the power without the adapter to the optimization mode, not the high-performance mode. As a result, I got a score of 5500. Just mentioning the score might not give you a good sense. If you compare it with the X80 laptop under the same conditions, you can see that the score is almost 1.5 times better. Even if you look at the detailed items, you can see that you can finish the work much faster if you do the same task. Looking at these numbers, you can see that what used to be done quickly is now even faster, and items that used to take a long time are now much shorter, with a difference of almost 1.5 times to nearly six times less. Especially the ability to calculate complex functions in Excel has really improved, and when working on documents like this, regular Windows laptops really work hard on cooling.

When I turned back, this one didn't make any noise of the cooler running at all, so I really wondered if the cooler was not running. So, I listened closely with my ear, and it was running slightly, but if this is the level of running, it's almost not running. So, what I felt after trying the Galaxy Book Flex is that in a typical working environment, unless you do extreme tests or performance tests like games, you probably won't hear the sound of the cooler running. It is very comfortable for typical document work. Then, you might think, If the performance is good when working on documents like this, does the battery drain really fast? So, I was curious about that, and I tested how long the battery could last by running the document work test I just did continuously without a break, and also tested the screen brightness.

The manufacturer tested it at a brightness of 250 nits, not the dark brightness of 150 nits. But as you can see, the battery lasted for a whopping 11 and a half hours. What's truly surprising about this time is that if you test the battery of a popular modern laptop with a battery capacity of around 70 to 80 watt-hours, it usually lasts about 10 and a half hours. However, this one has a battery capacity of 62 watt-hours. If the battery capacity is almost 80% of that and the usage time is reduced by about 80%, it should have stopped around 8 and a half hours. But in reality, the battery usage time lasted for 11 and a half hours, surpassing the larger capacity x86 laptops in terms of battery life. This shows how good the power efficiency is. Moreover, this wasn't even the same performance or at the same speed for the same tasks. Even when performing the same tasks, you can work much faster and more comfortably in a much shorter time.

But the fact that the battery life is long, the pen works well, and there is less heat generation, why are manufacturers of Windows laptops making such efforts to create ARM-based laptops these days? I think I might know for sure. However, I became curious here, not just for document work tests, but also for video playback tests, how long the battery lasted when I tested it. In fact, some information has already been revealed in the community, but as mentioned earlier, the screen brightness was set to 150 nits. Since I tested it by playing files that are already stored on the computer, not by testing with YouTube or Netflix, it shows about 22 hours or so. But when I continuously exchanged data based on a more demanding standard of 250 nits and played videos based on YouTube, it lasted almost 9 hours and 55 minutes, nearly 10 hours.

Video playback was possible. If I interpret the test results a bit differently from document work, unlike this, when it comes to YouTube video playback, I didn't feel that the ARM laptop lasted as long as expected compared to x86 laptops. It seems that in situations where continuous network communication like YouTube is involved, the efficiency of the CPU itself may have a significant impact on battery consumption in the network. Ultimately, the true value of the Galaxy Book Pro's battery performance seems to shine not only during video playback but also during document work or web surfing. The typing experience is excellent, so it seems really suitable for office use. I will let you hear the typing sound for your reference. However, if you purchase this laptop, not only for word, PowerPoint, Excel, internet, but also for office use, it seems very suitable.

You might be using programs or playing games, so I will talk a bit about game compatibility. To start with the conclusion, this aspect has been greatly improved compared to before. There are parts that can cover even programs that were originally incompatible due to the performance of this thing, but there still seem to be many areas to improve. For example, MapleStory or StarCraft, in the past, couldn't even run in the front window, or if they did run, the game crashed once you entered it. Now, you can enter the game and it runs properly. However, whether it's Maple or Star, when you first run it, it quietly executes an x86 program in the background, working hard to convert and adapt things. It took a few seconds longer than I expected at the initial startup, and after running it, the frame...

In the case of StarCraft Remastered, it's not completely flawless, but it's so well-made that you can say there are no strange issues at all. The frame rate is good, and the game runs smoothly. On the other hand, MapleStory, although StarCraft games didn't run well, it was still quite stable for playing. It maintained almost 60 frames per second. I was curious about how other high-quality or popular games would perform, so I tried running something else. Well, Overwatch 2, a game played by many people, I tried running it once. Firstly, it runs smoothly, and when I actually played the game, I won. However, if you look at the screen, the graphics settings can only go up to a maximum of ACV quality while playing this game. Also, even though the game runs at a relatively high frame rate when I play, there are moments where the frame rate drops significantly in the middle. So, to be honest, it wasn't a situation where I could play the game properly.

Graphics also tend to break like this in some parts, but if you turn off the auto high-resolution function in the display settings here, you can select the resolution properly like this. Considering that the resolution has increased, the basic frames are coming out quite well. However, I still feel interruptions like this occasionally, so it seems that there is frame damage in the process of emulation. So, what about games like League of Legends that many people play? League of Legends didn't even run in the first place, probably due to an anti-cheat security program issue. Therefore, before the product is released, we plan to clearly identify which games or programs are not compatible. As of the date of posting this video, Premiere Pro is working like this, and when I tried running Photoshop, the official version came out, so it can run properly, almost as well as x86. Therefore, compatible apps are.

As it continues to grow, for more detailed information, please refer to the text link in the video. So, up to this point, I will tell you about the performance and compatibility of this product that I analyzed. Now, I will tell you about the interesting new features that can be used on this Galaxy Book Pro Edge. Until now, laptops have mainly focused on how the CPU performance is and how the graphics performance is. If this was mainly the point of performance, nowadays, we consider the AI processing power called MPU, how good is it? Microsoft nowadays considers this number of artificial intelligence operations, reaching 40 trillion per second, very important. Therefore, they are calling it PC Co-pilot Plus, which can handle 40 TOPS performance while lasting long battery life and being able to use features like Co-pilot. So, even in the Galaxy Book Pro Edge now, you can see a Co-pilot button on the keyboard.

If you click on this, the compiler will appear right away, and here you can ask what you are curious about. For example, you can ask, How much is the price of the Galaxy S24 Ultra on Coupang right now? Like this. Then, this one provides content based on GPT-4, so if you want to check if the content is correct, you can press the button next to it immediately. The price that came out earlier is accurate, right? And if you want to capture a specific screen, press the Windows and Shift S keys like this to capture the screen like this. When you do this, the content is automatically saved to the clipboard. Then, after opening the file, press Ctrl V here to paste it, and now the picture is inserted here. You can translate this or, if there are people in it, you can follow the person's actions. Now, you can press the File button anytime, anywhere, and use it conveniently right away.

I think it's an advantage, and there's a really interesting feature in this Co-Pilot. Once you enter the menu and press the plugin, you can activate functions such as finding contact information on my connected smartphone, reading and sending text messages. Then, you can neatly summarize the content like explaining the new feature of the Galaxy Book Pro H to a specific person and send a message like this. It even confirms if the contact you want to send it to is the correct number. So, after confirming, when you say to send it, it goes like this. Finally, after pressing the confirm button, the message is delivered like this. When you check on your phone, it pops up like this. If you look closely, the content is like this. Oh, this is really interesting. Of course, besides sending such a long message, like Samsung is advertising, you can also send short messages like this.

Sending a message is also possible, and one of the fun features is the Co-Creator function, which is a drawing generation feature. Nowadays, there are many AIs that can draw pictures, but it's quite fun that in this Paint app, which is a default Windows app, if I roughly draw a picture, it can create a drawing based on that. I tried it once. Turning on the Co-Creator function located in the top right here, I will try to draw a dog from now on. If I draw too well, it might be a bit... so, I'll roughly sketch it with my finger. Now, I'll draw the dog's body like this, then draw the dog's legs like this, draw the dog's tail like this, wagging the tail, and draw the dog's face like this. I'll draw the dog's eyes on the side and draw the dog's mouth like this. I'll draw it like this.

Could you draw Guido like this? This is a dog. I drew it poorly, but I will try to help you draw it here. It's a dog seen from the side wagging its tail. I drew it like this. Then, based on this, he will draw a picture for you. He drew it quite similarly. But I think he damaged the originality too much. So, I will slide the originality to the side and try to make it original once more. If I raise the originality gradually, starting from 6, it will be drawn almost the same way, but I will gradually increase the originality. If I raise it by about 30%, you can see the face changing little by little. When it goes over about 50%, if I lower it like this, it changes little by little like this. Isn't it fun? If I raise it to about 75%, then...

A similar shape to a certain degree of a dog comes out, and when you raise it to the end, the final result comes out like this. Can you see the slight differences? You can reduce this to about 70% and still maintain a certain level of creativity like this. You can also change the item to a tangible form by changing the method like this. And through the process you are currently doing, you can see that using MPU little by little is important when handling something with AI. You might have thought that MPU performance is important when processing something with AI. Then, among the features of Compile Plus, what other interesting feature is there? There is the Live Caption feature, which is interesting. If you use Windows, whenever you press the Control window, Live Caption is prepared. When you set the language to Korean, Korean will appear on the computer. But when the number of files exceeds 500, it automatically creates subtitles like this.

And up to this point, this is actually a function that can be done in the existing Windows. But I am currently looking at Korean content here. Let me change the language to English once. Then, when I'm watching Korean content, Google Photos doesn't automatically work. So now I have to go into Google Photos directly and upload it. But when I press Google Photos and go in, I make a separate album like this. Look, it automatically recognizes Korean, then translates it into English automatically, and provides real-time translation. In fact, Google has a translation function in the car too. You might wonder why you need to use that when you can do it in Google, right? But this is really good. It automatically translates all the sounds that run on Windows like this. So, if you use video conferencing, for example, without using Microsoft's Teams, any video conferencing tool or any phone app.

It automatically translates everything like this. So, if two people using a Compile PC hold a video conference, the translation is automatically done in their own language. This is really great. Also, while I'm at it, I will tell you one more function that can be used with the Compiler PC, which is the recall function. It automatically searches for screens I used before with AI. Recently, due to security issues, it may be a bit difficult to use immediately, but this function will soon be available for you to use through an update. If you look at the bottom right, there is a recall function like this. When you press it, you can see all the things I worked on before by time. It shows what I worked on at what time, and all of this is recorded. And now, if you look inside, you can see that it automatically scrolls through the text like this.

Yes, you can select text. Do you know what this means? Above, you can see a place where I can enter text separately. So, I'm going to type in CPU benchmark above. Then, among the contents I had, I found screens with CPU benchmark text like this and when you click there, you can find how the benchmark is being conducted right here. But this is not just about text. If I search for the image I want by sentence, it will find all the previous records like this. In a way, this can be a very useful feature and somewhat a bit of a scary feature. So, this could be very useful for some people and for some, it might raise concerns about personal information leakage. This feature was not included in the initial production but through updates.

I think we need to watch a little more on how we can use this when it is provided. Also, as a bonus, this is not a compiler plus PC exclusive feature, but there is one more very useful feature that Microsoft recently updated. Recently, in Windows, you can now add a smartphone as a Bluetooth camera. So, whenever you make video calls, you can switch from the laptop camera to the smartphone camera just by pressing the camera switch button. In the past, you needed a separate app to use this feature, but now you can do it with the built-in function, which is really convenient. However, I wish they could make the app design a bit prettier. So, I think I have explained all the important features of this product, and now it's time to talk about the price.

It seems that these days, the actual discounted prices of laptops differ so much from their original prices that the meaning of the list price has somewhat faded. However, it's not completely meaningless. The list price of this product is 215,000 won for the 14-inch model and varies depending on the capacity for the 16-inch AP model. Looking at this price, it's a bit disappointing that you can't select the cellular model as a separate option. I also feel a bit disappointed about the list price itself. So, how much is the discounted price now? As of the time I am filming this video, there is no information about the discounts. I hope there will be a significant discount. Oh, but just before uploading this video, I heard some discussions about the discounts, saying that there will be substantial discounts. However, since I don't know when or how the discount policy will change, it might be difficult for me to talk about it in this video.

Instead, I received several benefits, such as various software similar to Galaxy Premium Notebook 9 Best, Samsung Care Plus, and educational content. Also, you can choose a Nakedness Pouch in limited quantities, and the pouch's interior structure is very well-equipped. So, for those who purchase this laptop, the pouch is given on a first-come-first-served basis, so I hope you apply for it and receive it. So, the video I prepared ends here. Actually, there are many more things I want to tell you about the product, such as the speaker, texture, and more, but if I mention everything, the video might be over two hours long. Therefore, I will answer your questions in the comments. How was it after watching the whole video? In fact, the product's release price and...

It's a bit disappointing that the cellular function is missing, but still, don't you think it feels like a truly well-made business laptop has finally come out? So far, business Windows laptops have often fallen short of expectations in terms of performance and battery life, whether they were originally entry-level models or high-end models. But for the first time, this laptop has satisfied my expectations in terms of performance. Of course, there is still a long way to go in terms of compatibility, but for many people who use it a lot for tasks like document work or web surfing, it can be much more comfortable to use than x86 general laptops. It's also quieter, generates less heat, and even runs x86-specific apps through emulation without much trouble. Clearly, now we can see a glimpse of the future of business Windows laptops.

Yes, and when I see these products, I think that the day when we can run Android apps on Windows is coming soon. In the past, if you ran emulation on a regular x86 Windows to run utility apps on smartphones, now the process of integrating Windows and smartphones seems much easier, so I hope the update comes quickly. Alright, that's it for this video. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. If you enjoyed the video, please like and subscribe because I worked hard. Thank you. Taekomon, out.
