The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is a high-performance choice particularly suited for gaming, 3D modeling, and other demanding tasks due to its powerful internals, but it comes with a higher price tag and is heavier, affecting portability. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, on the other hand, offers more versatility with its 2-in-1 design, is lighter, and usually provides longer battery life, which is ideal if you prioritize convenience and general use over intense computing tasks. Consider what you'll primarily use the laptop for and how much you value performance versus convenience and battery life when making your decision. Give Feedback

If you prioritize clear visuals and vibrant colors for tasks like browsing or productivity apps, both the ASUS ROG Strix G16 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offer high resolution and brightness.

Marc Herter | March 2023
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."

"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."
