The ASUS TUF Dash 15 offers robust performance for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering tasks with a dedicated RTX 3060 graphics card, a higher refresh rate display for smoother visuals, and is built with gaming in mind. However, it is heavier and a bit larger, thus less portable, and has a shorter battery life compared to the Samsung. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is much lighter and more portable with a longer battery life, making it better for on-the-go usage and general use. Its OLED touchscreen offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, although it has less raw power for high-demand applications due to its integrated graphics. The choice depends on whether you prioritize portability and screen quality or gaming/performance capabilities. Give Feedback

The ASUS TUF Dash 15 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
The ASUS TUF Dash 15 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 both feature screens with resolutions and panel types that provide clear and bright displays suitable for daily tasks and detailed engineering work, ensuring crisp text and accurate color representation essential for design applications. However, their lower refresh rates make them less optimal for gaming and 3D modeling, where smoother motion and rapid screen updates are crucial for an immersive experience. The higher color gamut coverage in both laptops benefits professional engineering and design software that relies on precise color accuracy, but the gaming and 3D limitations remain due to refresh rate constraints.

How the ASUS TUF Dash 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"The Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR is a laptop with mobile RTX 3070 and acceptable battery life. The Asus TUF Dash F15 was made for high-performance applications like video editing, rendering, and gaming. The laptop can manage the latter in QHD resolution and at high to maximum settings. However, the focus isn't on maximum performance, but instead, it's about a compromise between performance and portability."
"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."
