The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, with its OLED screen and higher maximum refresh rate, offers a great visual experience for general use and entertainment. It also has a slightly larger screen, which might be preferable for productivity tasks. However, the Galaxy Book2 360 boasts double the storage and RAM, a touchscreen, and a more recent CPU, making it better suited for more demanding tasks like 3D and machine learning, as well as engineering work. The Galaxy also has a more portable design and a higher portability score. Both offer similar battery life, but the Galaxy Book2 360 edges out slightly in battery longevity during typical use. If cost is a consideration, the ASUS generally sells at a slightly lower price. Therefore, if you prioritize display quality and a larger screen at a lower cost, consider the ASUS; if you require more power, more storage, and greater portability, the Galaxy Book2 360 is the better option.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 both boast panels with high resolution and brightness, making their displays clear and vivid for general tasks such as web browsing and video streaming. For engineering and design, their screens deliver a wide range of colors, covering ample portions of DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces, providing the accuracy needed for professional creative work. However, both laptops have screens with limited refresh rates, which can lead to less smooth visuals in high-paced 3D environments, diminishing the experience in gaming and 3D applications where fluid motion is key.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 brings a higher screen refresh rate which benefits gaming graphics smoothness, but its integrated GPU may limit performance in demanding 3D applications, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers a touch-enabled OLED screen with lower refresh rate which means less fluid motion in games but its convertible form factor is versatile. Both devices share similar integrated GPUs; neither is ideal for intensive gaming but can handle lighter titles and casual 3D tasks.
