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...

California Gov. Newsom vetoes bill SB 1047 that aims to prevent AI disasters

By
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed bill SB 1047, which aims to prevent bad actors from using AI to cause "critical harm" to humans. The California state assembly passed the legislation by a margin of 41-9 on August 28, but several organizations including the Chamber of Commerce had urged Newsom to veto the bill . In his veto message on Sept. 29, Newsom said the bill is "well-intentioned" but "does not take into account whether an Al system is deployed in high-risk environments, involves critical decision-making or the use of sensitive data. Instead, the bill applies stringent standards to even the most basic functions - so long as a large system deploys it."  SB 1047 would have made the developers of AI models liable for adopting safety protocols that would stop catastrophic uses of their technology. That includes preventive measures such as testing and outside risk assessment, as well as an "emergency stop" that would completely shut down...
