Pros and Cons

Samsung Galaxy Book4

Strengths

The keyboard is okay, I could get used to it in an hour or so
It got over 11 hours of battery life in our endurance test which is incredible especially given this has an OLED display
The speakers are fine, mids seem pretty decent
The webcam is good, looks nice and clear and crisp
We have a fingerprint reader up here on the right hand side which is on top of the power button best spot to have it
It's got a vapor chamber which is how we were able to extract those 80 Watts out of the 40/50 processor
The battery life is incredible
The RTX 4050 is a powerful GPU, great for gaming and content creation

Weaknesses

The price is $2400 with 16 GB of RAM 1 TB SSD and RTX 4050 which is outrageous and doesn't match the value
It's got like a couple medium compromises like the keyboard's okay trackpads kind of weird
The Wi-Fi card is soldered down so if you want Wi-Fi 7 I don't know just don't buy this laptop
The price makes no sense compared to other laptops with similar specs and features
You could get a Zephyris G16 for $22,000 that has the same amount of RAM and storage but an RTX 470
It's available with up to a 470 and that config is $3,000 which is still overpriced
The price of this laptop is a sin, it's got like a couple medium compromises
It doesn't have facial recognition despite its high price tag

MSI GS66 Stealth

Strengths

The GS66 Stealth is a sleek and stealthy design.
The performance is solid for the size, especially with AMD options available.
A great display is offered with the option to upgrade to a 300Hz panel (though not necessarily needed).
Gaming performance was really good with the RTX 2070 Super, able to match an RTX 2080 non-super in frame rates.
The fast NVMe SSD helps a lot with compression tasks and loading games quickly.

Weaknesses

The plastic rail on the edge of the laptop feels cheap and is not a unibody design.
The keyboard backlighting is not the greatest, especially compared to the competition.
The speakers sound terrible and the microphone quality is trash.
The laptop is excessively loud during gaming scenarios.
A 300Hz display may be overkill for most gamers, who would be perfectly fine with a 240Hz or even 144Hz display.
