The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge (15.6", 1TB) is currently the pricier option, sitting roughly 20–25% above the Microsoft Surface Pro 12 (512GB) at most major UK retailers — making the Surface Pro 12 the clear budget-friendlier pick right now for buyers who can trade storage capacity for a lower upfront cost.
Buy the Microsoft Surface Pro 12 if you need a versatile 2-in-1 tablet-laptop hybrid, prefer a compact 12-inch form factor for portability, or are already invested in the Microsoft Surface ecosystem. Buy the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge if you want a traditional 15.6-inch laptop with a larger display, double the storage (1TB), and want to save £380 without sacrificing Copilot+ AI features or Snapdragon performance.
The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge wins on value — it costs £380 less and ships with 1TB of storage versus the Surface Pro's 512GB, making it the smarter buy for most users. The Surface Pro 12 justifies its premium only if you specifically need a detachable 2-in-1 form factor with tablet functionality.
The table below compares both laptops across the key specs that matter most: display size and type, processor tier, RAM, storage, form factor, weight, battery life, and Copilot+ AI feature support.
| Product | Price | Was | Discount | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Surface Pro 12 Snapdragon X Plus 16GB 512GB down 1... | £929.00 | £1,099.00 | 15% off | Tracked | |
| Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge Copilot+ Laptop 1TB at 34% off | £549.00 | £829.00 | 34% off | 90-day low |
Historically, the Galaxy Book4 Edge has held a higher baseline price due to its larger display and doubled storage, though Samsung tends to push notable discounts around key retail events like Black Friday and mid-year sales; the Surface Pro 12 has shown steadier pricing with smaller, more frequent dips — meaning patient buyers targeting the Galaxy Book4 Edge are better rewarded by waiting for a sale window.
