The ASUS Zenbook 14X and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 are similarly priced, both featuring 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. The ASUS packs an Nvidia MX550 GPU, offering better 3D performance suitable for light gaming and maybe lighter engineering applications than the Samsung's integrated Iris Xe graphics. However, the Samsung excels in battery life and includes a touchscreen with a 360-degree hinge, enhancing versatility for presentations and creative work. The ASUS has an OLED screen with higher resolution, which is better for visual tasks but is less portable due to a shorter battery life. If portability and flexible usage are priorities, the Samsung may suit you better, but for better graphics performance in a traditional laptop form, consider the ASUS. Give Feedback

How the ASUS Zenbook 14X and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"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."
"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."
