SEOUL, May 30 (Korea Bizwire) — Samsung Electronics said Thursday its new artificial intelligence-powered laptop will be available globally next month as part of its plans to lead the AI era.
Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite, a next-generation processor, the Galaxy Book 4 Edge features both on-device and cloud AI capabilities. These include real-time translation and search services, as well as automatic connectivity with the user’s smartphone and tablet, according to Samsung Electronics.
The laptop also offers an image-based search feature called “Circle to Search” on its 3K AMOLED touchscreen.
In collaboration with Microsoft, the Galaxy Book 4 Edge will include “Cocreator” and “Paint” programs to support creative work, with a dedicated AI key for enhanced assistance.
“This product will be released globally, launching in 10 countries including South Korea, the United States, and several in Europe,” said Park Jun-ho, the product lead at Samsung Electronics, during a press event. “In the new era of AI, we’re working hard to anticipate and drive significant changes. We aim to make a meaningful impact.”
In particular, he said Samsung Electronics expects 2 out of every 3 laptops sold in the Korean market to be from the Galaxy Book series.
Currently, Samsung Electronics leads the South Korean laptop market, holding a 49.5 percent share in the first quarter, according to data.
All AI functions and technologies released by Samsung Electronics later this year will be incorporated into all Galaxy laptops, Park added.
The Galaxy Book 4 Edge will be available globally starting June 18.
