The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED offers strong performance suitable for activities such as 3D rendering and intensive engineering tasks with its high-resolution OLED display and dedicated Intel Iris Xe graphics but is slightly less portable due to its weight. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while also providing solid performance and a high-quality touchscreen OLED display, emphasizes portability with its lighter design and longer battery life, making it better for on-the-go users who need a compact laptop for general use. Both support fast charging via USB-C and have similar storage capacities. The choice depends on whether your priority is higher performance and display quality or ease of mobility and battery longevity. Give Feedback

How the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
"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."
