Samsung’s Galaxy Book 4 lineup is up for sale and its marketing materials are touting Windows 11 artificially intelligent Copilot features that will eventually land on devices later in the year.
While the idiom of never buying a product based on future promises still holds true, Samsung appears to be trying to sell its Samsung Galaxy Book 4 with a pledge of upcoming Windows 11 Copilot features for its laptops. According to the Galaxy Book 4 website for US customers, Samsungs latest computer highlights rumored Windows-centric Copilot features such as message summarization, task management, email drafting, enhanced search, and cross platform workflows.
In addition to an upgraded Windows 11 Copilot experience, Samsung also showed its dedicated Copilot button on its Galaxy Book 4 series laptops as well as mobile-specific instances of AI assistance via a Galaxy Phone and Windows Phone Link integration.
Windows Phone Link Copilot experience looks familiar to desktop and seems to carry over prompts from one platform to the next. For now, Phone Link integration remains a Samsung and Surface Duo exclusive, but Microsoft and Google have shown off deeper Windows and Android integration coming to both platforms.
Samsung uses the following natural language prompts to illustrate the new Windows 11 Copilot features that will come to Galaxy Book 4 soon.

A footnote in Samsung’s website marketing material does explain that the illustrated Windows 11 Copilot features will be “Available on the Galaxy Book4 Series starting in Spring of 2024.
The footnote lines up with Microsoft’s planned unveiling of new Copilot features for Windows 11 alongside new Surface hardware later this month. Interestingly enough, it had been speculated that Microsoft wouldn’t be ready to roll out its Windows-centric Copilot upgrade until later in the year, closer to Fall 2024.
Nevertheless, a more Windows-centric Copilot is destined for Windows 11 powered PCs this year and will mark the differentiation of consumer Copilot and Commercial Copilot in a broader sense.
