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.

MSI Creator Z16

Strengths

The MSI Creator Z16 is a capable gaming laptop that can run games at high settings with ease, making it suitable for gamers.
It also features an 8-core i9 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 combo, which gives smooth 4k editing timelines in Premiere Pro.
The dedicated NVENC encoder on the GPU speeds up rendering times, taking a 10-minute 4K project down to just 8 minutes.
The laptop's performance is further boosted by the AI smarts of the RTX card, speeding up features like auto-reframe and scene detection in Premiere Pro.
It has a good keyboard and touchpad that never got uncomfortably warm during use.
The laptop's webcam, although not amazing, is okay for basic video calls and can be improved with NVIDIA Broadcast software.
The MSI Creator Z16 is available at an affordable price point of around £900-£2600.

Weaknesses

The bezels on the laptop are quite thick, which might be a drawback for some users.
The trackpad could use some improvement in terms of accuracy and responsiveness.
The webcam's video quality is only okay, and it can get noisy at times.
The top bezel gets quite warm during heavy use, so users should keep their hands away from that area.
There are no USB-A ports on the laptop, which might be a problem for some users who rely on them.
The fans can get quite loud when under load, but this can be mitigated with the Whisper Mode feature.
The laptop's price point is quite high, especially considering that it doesn't have any unique features compared to other laptops in its class.
