The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 offers significantly higher performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering software, which benefits from its powerful CPU and GPU, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more suitable for general use with good performance for everyday tasks. The ASUS has a large, high-refresh-rate screen ideal for gaming and fast motion, but it's heavier and has shorter battery life, compromising portability.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 stands out for general use and engineering due to its combination of high-resolution, bright screen, and strong color accuracy that covers wider color gamuts necessary for design tasks. The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15, while offering similar benefits for general use and engineering with good resolution and color gamut coverage, falls short in gaming where the refresh rate is crucial for smooth visuals and it doesn't excel in that regard. In contrast, for 3D and gaming, the Samsung's limitation in refresh rate also makes it less suitable, as fast screen updates are key for immersive and responsive experiences.

"Asus continues to refine the ROG Strix Scar lineup with new upgrades. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 offers almost everything you would expect from a gaming laptop at this price. The build quality is great, connectivity options are decent, and there is enough scope for internal upgrades as well. Asus reverts to membrane switches for the keyboard — though not as "clickety" as the opto-mechanical ones we saw with last year's model, they still make for a decent typing and gaming experience. The lack of biometrics in any form is a downer."

"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."
