Samsung has carved out a seat at the table with the big boys with the Galaxy Book4 Edge, a Copilot+ PC with the new Snapdragon X Elite processor that's nothing short of a statement-making machine. The laptop feels as good as it looks and nails the features consumers care about the most: a brilliant display, a thin and light form factor, and a marathon battery.

I recently had a chance to go hands-on with the Edge, using it as my primary driver for a week as I commuted to and from the office and worked remotely, and I really enjoyed it. This thing is a banger: It's light, it has lightning-fast performance, a fantastic battery, a gorgeous display, and surprisingly good speakers.
Of all the new Snapdragon Copilot+ PCs released this year, this laptop has one of the clearest use cases. It really shines when paired with other Samsung products, particularly a Galaxy phone, which can be remotely controlled on the laptop in Samsung's Plug-in app -- something Apple is still developing -- as well as a host of other features.
However, to make the most of the Galaxy Book4 Edge, a few things have to fall into place. We'll discuss that in a bit, but first, let's look at the specs. The first thing you notice about the Edge is its thin, light form factor. It weighs just 3.4 pounds, yet still feels solid, with minimal screen wobble compared to some other ultraportable 16-inch laptops.
