The ASUS ROG Flow X13 is a premium choice, generally more expensive, and caters well to intensive engineering tasks and gaming due to its powerful AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia RTX graphics card. It also has a high-refresh-rate display which is great for fast-paced content. However, it's heavier and has shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is generally less expensive and offers an OLED screen with vibrant colors, making it better for general media consumption, and has longer battery life, making it more suitable for on-the-go use. If you need a machine for demanding software, go with ASUS, but if you prioritize portability and longer usage, consider the Samsung. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Flow X13 is very good for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good.
The ASUS ROG Flow X13 is highly regarded for engineering and design because it boasts a potent AMD Ryzen CPU, generous RAM, and a superior Nvidia RTX GPU, which together provide formidable performance for demanding tasks, as well as a high-quality IPS screen that offers both clarity and color accuracy. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 also supports engineering and design tasks with a capable Intel CPU and integrated Iris Xe GPU and features an OLED screen known for vibrant colors and deep blacks, but it lacks the graphical processing power of the ASUS, making it less ideal for the most intensive applications, although it compensates with better battery life and portability.

How the ASUS ROG Flow X13 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"The Asus ROG Flow X13 is not an off-the-shelf convertible. This quickly becomes clear when you take a closer look at the technical specs. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is a state-of-the-art SoC with 8 cores and 16 threads, which also makes the 2-in-1 interesting as a work device. With 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, gamers are also well taken care of. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q fits well into the overall concept and ensures a solid 3D performance. With the eGPU dock, which is equipped with a GeForce RTX 3080, the small convertible transforms into a full-fledged desktop replacement in terms of performance."
"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."
