The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for general use, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 provides a decent display with good resolution and brightness, but the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers a more vibrant and sharp visual experience due to its superior panel type and brightness. When it comes to engineering and design tasks, the Samsung excels again with its wider color gamuts ensuring more accurate color representation, while the ASUS falls short in this aspect, making it less suitable for color-critical work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, neither laptop is ideal as both have low refresh rates, although the ASUS may have a slight edge due to its somewhat better resolution and panel type.

How the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 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."
"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."
