If you need robust performance for gaming or intensive engineering tasks, the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 with a dedicated Nvidia RTX graphics card is more suitable. However, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers more portability and its OLED touchscreen display could be advantageous for general use and tasks that benefit from higher color accuracy, such as photo editing. The ASUS is heavier and has a larger screen, which might not be ideal for frequent travel. In contrast, the Samsung has a better battery life, making it more suitable for on-the-go use, but its integrated graphics are less powerful for demanding applications or gaming. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F17 offers a decent balance for general use due to its resolution and brightness, making it suitable for daily tasks and media consumption, but its limited color gamut hinders its efficacy for professional engineering and design work which requires more accurate color reproduction. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, with its higher resolution and superior color accuracy, caters well to engineering, design professionals and general users who value crisp visuals and vibrant colors. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short because they lack the high refresh rates necessary for the smoothest visual experience, which is paramount in fast-paced gaming scenarios.

Christian Hintze | April 2022
"One of the Asus TUF Gaming F17’s highlights is without a doubt its excellent gaming performance. The fact that Asus configured the RTX 3060 GPU for its specified maximum of 140 W is became immediately noticeable in our benchmarks. For a 17-inch notebook the F17 also offers a very long battery life, which makes it somewhat portable. On the flip side is the display. It may be saved by its good overall contrast ratio, but its overall brightness is simply too low, and its response times are too slow for a gaming device. The F17’s successor needs to improve upon this."

Adam Speight | July 2023
"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."
