Samsung Galaxy Book 4 vs ASUS Vivobook 15 Slim

The Galaxy Book 4 is the safer pick for most people. It is lighter, has a touchscreen, a fingerprint reader, Ethernet, and Samsung rates battery life at 15 hours. The Vivobook 15 Slim has the stronger chip: a 14-core Core i9-13900H against the 6-core Core 7 150U, plus a 1 TB SSD and a backlit keyboard. But its 2.6-out-of-5 owner rating from 140 buyers is a real warning, and 10 hours of rated battery life is short for a 15.6-inch laptop. Buy the Samsung for everyday work and travel. Buy the ASUS only if you need sustained multi-core power and can accept the weaker owner feedback.

• Choose the Galaxy Book 4 if you want a light 15.6-inch laptop with a touchscreen, long rated battery life, and a fingerprint reader for daily work and school.
• Choose the Vivobook 15 Slim if heavy multi-core tasks like video editing or compiling matter more than battery life and owner satisfaction.
