The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offers high performance and superior screen quality with its OLED display, making it a good option for those prioritizing tasks such as photo editing or other color-sensitive work. It's slightly heavier and has a shorter battery life than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, which may be a downside for those needing a device that offers greater portability and longer time away from a power outlet. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, although not as powerful as the ASUS Vivobook, is lighter, more compact, and offers a longer battery life, alongside a touchscreen which could be more suitable for users who value flexibility and mobility over raw performance. Both laptops are similarly priced in the midrange segment, with the ASUS being a bit more expensive. Whether you choose the ASUS or the Samsung, you compromise on certain aspects in favor of others, like performance over portability or vice versa. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is very good for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is equipped with a high-end Intel processor and a superb OLED screen which makes it suitable for demanding engineering and design tasks; however, it is heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, which offers a versatile 2-in-1 OLED touch screen experience, making it ideal for on-the-go design work despite its less powerful processor. Both laptops provide ample RAM and high-quality Iris Xe graphics, but engineering professionals may prefer the ASUS for performance while mobile designers might lean towards the Samsung for its portability and convertible design.

How the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."
"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."
