Pros and Cons

Samsung Galaxy Book4 360

Strengths

The display is a beast of a 16-in AMOLED touch display with an S Pen that makes this experience more immersive than both my M4 iPad Pro and 16-in MacBook Pro.
It has one of the best displays I've seen on a device so far, with a marginally better color and contrast compared to my M4 13in iPad Pro.
The screen folds past 180° making the keyboard and a sharing foundation for what has transformed now into a tablet when folding the screen pauses for a moment and then hides the bottom taskbar.
It offers a full windows experience with one of the best 16-in ml screens in the market without compromising the OS.
The ergonomics are great, with the bulk of the weight on your lap so it stays planted on your lab, and the screen is brought a few inches closer to you than what you would get on the magic keyboard.

Weaknesses

It's still pretty bad especially coming from a Macbook, especially when trying to use gestures or scroll through documents.
The i7 Ultra runs really hot which means the fan runs often and Loud, making it uncomfortable to use in daily tasks.
The battery life is subpar compared to my 16-in MacBook Pro and probably similar to my M4 iPad Pro.
The speakers are embarrassing, even when comparing them to other laptops.
It has a few flaws, including heating performance issues and the touchpad being uncomfortable to use.

Alienware 16X Aurora

Strengths

The laptop looks really good, it's definitely not quite up there with the Area 51 build quality but it is obviously about half the price
Good range of features
Performance was good, we got 150 watts on the GPU and the CPU performed very well
Battery life was strong, leading to snappy performance when you are on battery that feels very much like you're on mains
The laptop is capable of 100 Ws of power delivery, meaning you could charge the laptop with a USBC charger, a dock, or a power delivery monitor

Weaknesses

The biggest gripes were the plastic deck, the touchpad and that keyboard. This didn't feel like an Alienware, it felt like a G series.
£15,000 is a lot of money and I would have liked to seen a proper Alienware keyboard on here. This one just felt cheap
The laptop maxes out at only a 5070 and an 8 GB card in 2025 is a bit of a shame, every laptop really, if possible, should go to that 5070 Ti for that 12 GB of RAM
Only the right USBC allows for power delivery
The GPU performance sucked when using power delivery, I'm not sure what is going on with the engineers over at Dell
