Choose the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 for its superior portability due to its smaller size and lighter weight, making it ideal for on-the-go use without compromising on performance or battery life. The 14-inch model also offers a higher pixel density for crisper visuals, which is beneficial for detailed work. However, if you prioritize screen real estate for multitasking or more immersive visuals, and you don't mind a slight increase in weight and size, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 is the better choice, providing a larger display while maintaining the same resolution and color accuracy. Both models are equally suited for general use, but the 16-inch may offer a slight edge in multitasking comfort due to its larger screen. Give Feedback
