The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge (15.6", 1TB) is currently the pricier option, sitting roughly 20–25% above the Microsoft Surface Pro 12 (12", 512GB) — though the Surface Pro's detachable form factor and smaller storage make that gap feel narrower once you account for spec differences. Right now the Surface Pro 12 holds the clear price advantage for buyers on a tighter budget.
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.

Historically the Surface Pro line tends to see its sharpest discounts around Black Friday and Microsoft's own seasonal sales, while Samsung's Galaxy Book4 Edge has dipped most noticeably during Amazon Prime Day and back-to-school periods — so if neither current price feels right, late summer or November are typically the best windows to wait for.
