The ASUS Vivobook 15X is often less expensive and features an AMD Ryzen processor and Vega graphics, suited for general performance, but it lacks a touchscreen and has lower color space coverage, meaning its display might not be as vibrant as some alternatives. It boasts a decent battery life and has a number specifically designed for numerical entries. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 costs a bit more and is equipped with an Intel i7 processor and Iris Xe graphics, which are robust for a range of tasks including some more demanding engineering applications. It highlights a superior OLED touchscreen display with high color accuracy, better for creative work and entertainment, and a notably longer battery life. The Galaxy Book3 360 is lighter and thinner, enhancing portability but offers fewer options for internal upgrades later on. If budget is a concern and you don't need the best display or portability, the Vivobook 15X could serve you well; however, if you value a superior display, longer battery life, and a more portable design, the Galaxy Book3 360 is the favorable choice.

"All in all, my day on the Vivobook had its ups and downs. It is a really pretty and well-built device, and it had all of the functionality I needed to get me through my browser-based workload. But the speakers weren’t my favorite, and the battery life was just too short."

Trusted Reviews
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."
