The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 offers robust performance suitable for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks with its high-end processor and dedicated graphics. However, it has a shorter battery life and is priced higher. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more affordable and provides longer battery life but has a less powerful processor and integrated graphics, making it less suitable for demanding engineering applications or gaming. The Galaxy Book2 360's OLED screen may offer vibrant colors and contrasts for general use, while the Flow Z13's higher refresh rate and resolution are better for fast-paced games and detailed engineering work. If portability and battery life override performance needs, choose the Galaxy Book2 360; for performance-oriented tasks, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is more appropriate. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a gaming tablet with powerful Alder Lake i9 CPU. The ROG Flow Z13 impresses with its good cooling. After our review, the impression is predominantly positive. Besides a very fast Alder Lake CPU and stable gaming performance, especially the cooling system is surprisingly effective and quiet. You can use the integrated speakers without any issues while gaming. The 1200p display in the 16:10 format also impresses with good color reproduction and high brightness. Since the battery runtimes aren't particularly long as it is, we wouldn't recommend the optional 4K panel."
"Samsung gets all the basics right with the Book2 360. Its convertible design works well in both laptop and tablet modes, yet still manages to be highly portable, with impressive battery life and eye-catching AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.16kg, making it one of the most affordable ultra-portables currently available. It’s sturdily built too, so it can cope with life on the road."
