The ASUS Zenbook 14X and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both lower midrange priced laptops with similar storage and RAM. The Zenbook has a more powerful processor and dedicated graphics card, making it better suited for intensive tasks like 3D work and machine learning. However, it's slightly heavier and thicker than the Galaxy Book2, which may matter if portability is a priority. The Galaxy Book2 offers a touchscreen, is lighter, and has a longer battery life, suitable for on-the-go use and general productivity. Both laptops have high-quality OLED displays, but the Zenbook's is larger and has a higher resolution, which is beneficial for detailed engineering work or enjoying high-resolution content.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and ASUS Zenbook 14X are both good for general use.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X offers robust performance with its Intel i7 CPU and dedicated Nvidia GPU, suitable for tasks that may require more computing power, and comes with a high-resolution OLED screen, which is excellent for vivid display quality, but has moderate battery life and portability. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, also with an Intel i7 CPU but integrated graphics, is highly portable due to its lower weight and longer battery life, has a touch-enabled OLED screen, making it versatile as a 2-in-1 device, but might not handle intensive tasks as efficiently as the Zenbook.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X has a dedicated GPU and a high screen refresh rate, making it capable for gaming and 3D applications, but it may cost more than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which has a modest GPU suitable for light gaming and 3D tasks but benefits from a higher quality screen for vivid visuals. Even though the CPU is also a consideration, it's the graphics capability and the refresh rate of the ASUS that give it an edge for these specific activities.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both good for engineering and design.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X is well-suited for engineering and design due to its dedicated Nvidia MX550 graphics card, high-resolution OLED screen, and powerful Intel i7 processor, but is slightly less portable and has a notably less touch-friendly UX than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while also featuring a potent Intel i7 CPU and OLED display for vibrant colors, trades a bit of graphical power for increased portability and versatility as a 2-in-1 touch device, favoring users in need of flexibility and mobility.

Sebastian Jentsch | April 2022
"With the Zenbook 14X, Asus has a 14-incher in its range that is - mostly - a joy to use. First, there is the colorful OLED panel with 3K resolution that displays the sRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces. The Zenbook is also at the forefront in terms of workmanship, input devices and connections with 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports and a generous keyboard layout. A pleasure to use, the Zenbook 14X is a solid, very well-built subnotebook that sits well on the table. A runtime of five hours, however, is below average for a high-end subnotebook nowadays. The OLED screensaver causes increased power consumption when in idle mode."

"Samsung gets all the basics right with the Book2 360. Its convertible design works well in both laptop and tablet modes, yet still manages to be highly portable, with impressive battery life and eye-catching AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.16kg, making it one of the most affordable ultra-portables currently available. It’s sturdily built too, so it can cope with life on the road."
