The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are considered fair for gaming and 3D due to their shared integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics that are suitable but not top-tier for such tasks and both having standard screen refresh rates, which are decent for casual gaming but not optimal for high-end gaming or professional 3D work. The Zenbook Flip S13's higher resolution display may offer crisper visuals important for screen quality, while the Galaxy Book2 360's OLED screen may provide better contrast and color quality, but neither excels in the very important GPU and screen refresh rate aspects for intensive gaming and 3D applications.

How the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."
"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."
