If you're looking for a laptop with a strong emphasis on gaming performance and don't mind a heavier build, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 with its dedicated graphics card is a strong option. However, it has a shorter battery life and lower screen color quality compared to the Samsung. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is notably more portable, has a longer battery life, and superior screen color quality with its OLED panel. It's also less expensive but doesn't have a dedicated GPU, making it less suitable for intensive gaming or demanding 3D tasks. Choose the ASUS for gaming and engineering purposes, and the Samsung for general use and portability with a touch of luxury thanks to its OLED touchscreen. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is a successful high-performance 15-inch laptop. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but connectivity leaves something to be desired."
"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."
