The Apple MacBook Pro 13 (2022) generally costs more but offers the acclaimed Apple M2 chip, which promises great performance for general use, is good for engineering applications, and has a long battery life. However, it lacks a touchscreen and is less suitable for fast-motion visuals or intensive gaming. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is more budget-friendly and features a touchscreen OLED display that's beneficial for multimedia use, has more RAM for multitasking, and is better for gaming, but its battery life is shorter, and it may not be as powerful for engineering tasks. If you prioritize MacOS and superior build quality, go for the MacBook, but if you want a versatile Windows laptop with touch capability and a better price point, the Galaxy Book3 360 is a solid choice.

The Apple MacBook Pro 13 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 for content creation.
The Apple MacBook Pro 13, with its high-resolution Retina display, provides crisp visuals and brightness that enhance general use like browsing or document editing, and its wide color gamut supports the nuanced color needs of engineering and design tasks. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 also boasts a high-resolution display with vibrant colors suitable for general tasks and creative work but, like the MacBook, it isn't designed for 3D applications, primarily because both lack high-refresh-rate screens which are crucial for smooth rendering of fast-moving 3D graphics. These laptops, while excellent for productivity and creative tasks, may not satisfy users looking for an optimal gaming or 3D experience, which requires a display that can keep up with rapid on-screen changes.

The Apple MacBook Pro 13 (2022) and Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Apple MacBook Pro 13 (2022) with its fair GPU capabilities is limited in 3D work due to a lower-powered integrated GPU and its operating system doesn't support many popular games, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 also has a fair GPU and screen refresh rate which constrain gaming and 3D work, despite its more game-compatible Windows operating system and better quality OLED touchscreen display.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and Apple MacBook Pro 13 (2022) are both good for engineering and design.
The Apple MacBook Pro 13 (2022) with its Apple M2 processor and integrated 10-core GPU is optimized for engineering and design tasks, offering a balance between processing power and high-quality, bright IPS display. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, on the other hand, incorporates a more powerful Intel i7 processor with Intel Iris Xe graphics and a larger, OLED touchscreen display which is beneficial for design work but may offer less battery life than the MacBook and is less portable due to its larger screen. Both laptops are equipped with sufficient RAM and a high-resolution screen, but the MacBook tends to excel in portability and battery life while the Galaxy Book3 360 offers a versatile 2-in-1 design and better speaker quality.

Andreas Osthoff | June 2022
"The MacBook Pro 13 is still a very good subnotebook. The 2022 MacBook Pro 13 might look like recycling at first, because the device is completely identical to the old model expect for the new M2 SoC. We have to admit that we were surprised to see another iteration of the MBP 13 as well. The laptop is obviously familiar, but this does not change the fact that it is still a very good subnotebook. You get an excellent chassis with good stability, a very good display, good input devices and the new M2 chip is very powerful and efficient."

Adam Speight | July 2023
"The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 isn’t a laptop that the Korean manufacturer has shouted from the rooftops about, and it seems to have gotten little attention from anywhere. But, it is absolutely a laptop worth paying attention to. Compared to higher-priced devices, like the Dell XPS 13 (2022) and Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023), it manages to offer a similar day-to-day experience despite the price difference. It’s really hard to justify the extra cash unless a boosted display is a requirement of yours."
