Samsung sale offers insane discounts on laptops, monitors, and more
Samsung sells a lot of stuff, and it sells it directly on its own web store. While the best deals are often to be found at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy, this week Samsung is keeping the savings for itself. The “Discover Samsung Summer Sale” is offering deep discounts on pretty much everything the company makes through Memorial Day, but we’re particularly interested in laptops and monitors here at PCWorld.
For laptops, Samsung is offering big cuts on the Galaxy Book4 series, which we’ve long loved. You can get the standard 15.6-inch laptop model for as little as $650, with a Core 7 120U processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. That’s $250 off the retail price. The Book4 Pro 360 model with a fold-back screen, Core 7 155H, 16-inch AMOLED screen, and 16GB/1TB setup is $1,400, a cool $500 off the retail price.

And the top-of-the-line Book4 Ultra starts at $1,900 with a Core 7 155H CPU, the same AMOLED screen as the Pro 360, and 16GB/1TB, plus a discrete Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics card, for $1,900. Again, that’s $500 off the retail price. This one got an Editors’ Choice award when PCWorld reviewed it just a month ago.
I should add that all of these are available with discounts for trade-in products, which can be laptops, phones, or tablets from most manufacturers. The maximum trade-in discount is $600…but don’t expect to get that if you’re offering a dusty old PC.
On the monitor side of things, Samsung’s current discounts match some of the prices of more budget-focused brands like Dell. You can get a 34-inch OLED ultrawide monitor for $800, beating out the competition with USB-C video and some smart screen features. For those who want to go bigger, a 49-inch ultrawide VA-LED is also $800.

The showstopper in this collection is probably the Odyssey Ark, Samsung’s unique no-compromises 4K 55-inch gaming “monitor” with an extreme curve and a rotating base. It’s certainly not for everyone, and not for anyone on a budget with a $3,000 starting price. But if this thing has caught your eye, you can get the second-gen update for $1,800, a shocking 40 percent off the regular price.
