Choosing the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is best for gaming or engineering tasks due to its powerful dedicated graphics card, larger screen, and strong performance. However, it's heavier and offers less battery life, which affects portability. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more portable with a lighter design and longer battery life, suitable for general use with the added benefit of a touchscreen. It's also less expensive but not as capable in handling intensive 3D or engineering workloads due to its integrated graphics. Give Feedback

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is very good for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 stands out for engineering and design due to its more powerful CPU and GPU, pivotal for demanding software, alongside a high screen refresh rate and ample storage, albeit at the cost of more weight and less portability. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers superior screen quality with its vivid OLED display and lighter, more portable design equipped with touch functionality, yet it compromises on graphical processing power, which could be limiting for graphics-intensive engineering applications.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for general use, and engineering and design.
For general use, you'll appreciate the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360's vibrant display and crisp resolution providing excellent visual comfort, while the ASUS TUF Gaming F15, though adequate, doesn't match the Samsung's brightness and clarity. Engineering and design professionals will find the Galaxy Book2 360's wide color coverage more precise for their workflows, surpassing the ASUS's fair color representation. However, for 3D applications and gaming, the ASUS's faster refresh rate offers a smoother visual experience, but the lower resolution and less ideal panel type don't provide the sharpness and immersion that the best displays for these uses would offer.

How the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."
"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."
