The next generation of Samsung laptops is (mostly) here.

The new Samsung Galaxy Book4 series is now available for purchase in the U.S. following its initial December rollout in South Korea and an appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 last month. The current lineup features two traditional laptops and two 2-in-1 laptops, including the Galaxy Book4 360, the Galaxy Book4 Pro, the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360, and the Galaxy Book4 Ultra. A fifth model, the entry-level Galaxy Book4, will make its delayed debut on March 28 with a starting price of just $899, according to a press release.

Samsung has equipped its new Pro and Ultra machines with the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, upgraded anti-reflective AMOLED touchscreen displays, a new Knox security chip, and rich AKG Quad speakers; the Ultra model tacks on a NVIDIA GeForce 40 Series GPU. They're also available in a new Moonstone Gray color option. Meanwhile, the pared-down Galaxy Book4 360 swaps in an Intel Core U-Series CPU and a plain, boring Gray colorway in exchange for a longer battery life and a tempting base MSRP of $1,099.99.

All four laptops sport a built-in key for Microsoft's Copilot generative AI assistant, which can summarize and send texts when connected to a Galaxy smartphone.

The Galaxy Book4 series is up for grabs at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly through the Samsung website. Note that Best Buy throws in a free gift card worth up to $200 with your purchase, while Samsung is offering a free 2TB Portable PSSD T7 Shield external drive (worth $219.99) plus a trade-in credit of up to $800.

Read on for a brief overview of each model's specs, pricing, and availability:

The Galaxy Book4 Ultra is a premium 16-inch laptop that pairs its high-end Intel Core Ultra CPU with a beefy NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-Series graphics card. That heavy-duty hardware translates to a heftier build: It weighs in at 4.1 pounds. Take your pick from two configurations:

  • The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H variant ($2,399.99) has a GeForce RTX 4050 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves.
