The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 starts at $1,320 for the base 360 model, $1,670 for the Pro, $2,120 for the Pro 360 and $2,620 for the Ultra. However, right now you can snag direct savings on these new laptops, which drops the price to $1,100 for the base 360 model, $1,450 for the Pro, $1,900 for the Pro 360 and $2,400 for the Ultra. Plus, you can get up to $800 in instant trade-in credit. Note that you can upgrade the processor and graphics, but it will cost extra.

OnePlus

The latest smartwatch from OnePlus has a long battery life and a nice screen. It doesn’t have every feature that you’ll find on other smartwatches, but it’s affordable enough that it might be worth the compromise. You can preorder the OnePlus Watch 2 right now for $300. But if you have an older smartwatch to trade, you can score a $50 credit, no matter which brand you own or the condition that it’s in.

MWC 2024 tech that is coming soon

While these products aren’t available to purchase just yet, we do know when they are expected to arrive.

Lenovo paired with iFixit to make laptops that are user-repairable, allowing for battery swaps, memory and storage upgrades and more. That should prolong the life of these devices and help reduce how many old models are ending up in landfills. ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 and T16 Gen 3 Intel models will be available for purchase in April.
