Galaxy Edge's performance is not better than Galaxy Book 4 Pro in real-life tests. The only thing that is better is just the battery life.

The edge goes to the Edge version (pun intended) in most cases. Far better battery life, better CPU, better RAM speed, better Wi-Fi, and slightly brighter screen at its limits. Great choice for data analysts or programmers that use the limited apps that fit the architecture. The only major advantage that the Pro version has is app compatibility due to being fully X86 architecture. This includes compatibility with PC games, professional productivity apps, and a wide range of printers/fax machines.
