The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is only fair.
The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 outshines the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 with a more powerful CPU, double the RAM for smoother multitasking, and superior screen quality with an OLED display and higher brightness, which is great for clarity and color reproduction; it also serves as a versatile 2-in-1 convertible and offers longer battery life, making it more suitable for varied general use and portable needs. However, these enhancements come with a heavier form factor than the Vivobook, which, while still providing a satisfactory general use experience with a solid CPU and IPS screen, prioritises affordability and lightness for easy travel.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 has limited gaming capabilities due to its AMD Radeon 610M GPU, which is less powerful than the Intel i7-1360P Iris Xe GPU found in the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360; both laptops have a screen refresh rate of 60 Hz, which is not ideal for fast-paced gaming, but the superior GPU in the Galaxy Book3 360 contributes to its fair performance in gaming and 3D applications.

"The lack of a backlit keyboard in this price segment shouldn't sway the buyer the other way. However, it still comes down to user preference. The Vivobook Go 14 is a decent laptop in an extremely competitive price segment. A few omissions are a part of the balancing to reach the price segment. The Asus Vivobook Go 14 is a rare find when it comes to the price to performance ratio."
"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."
