Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Book 4 Ultra, the latest addition to its Galaxy Book lineup. The new Ultra model features a touchscreen, improved outdoor visibility, and a more efficient cooling system. The vapor chamber design has been refreshed, with an 11% wider chamber and a dual fan with uneven blade spacing. This new cooling system lowers heat and fan noise, allowing the laptop to operate at its maximum potential. The Galaxy Book 4 Ultra will be available for sale in Korea on January 2, with other markets gradually joining the release.
HP has unveiled its first 16-inch Pavilion Plus laptop, the Pavilion Plus 16, featuring a 16.5-inch 120Hz 2.5K display, Intel Core i7 processors, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics. Aimed at business and education users, the high-end model offers content creation and gaming capabilities. The laptop also includes 16GB RAM, a 1TB SSD, Thunderbolt 4 ports, WiFi 6E, and a 68Wh battery. The Pavilion Plus 14 has also been refreshed with AMD and Intel processors, OLED display options, and up to 32GB RAM. The laptops will be available starting at $1,000 and $850 respectively.
The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is a content-creation laptop that offers a rare combination of power and portability. It features a 14.5-inch, 90Hz display and is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 and entry-level Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 discrete graphics. The laptop weighs only 3.5 pounds and makes a better travel companion than a full-size mobile content creation station. The display's 2.5K resolution is finer than the usual full-HD resolution and has a 90Hz refresh rate that's faster than the typical 60Hz panel. The laptop's pedestrian looks, however, may underwhelm graphics pros with an eye for style.
