The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers better performance for engineering tasks and 3D/machine learning due to its more powerful GPU, but it's also heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. If portability and longer battery usage on a charge are more important, the Samsung is lighter and has a longer battery life, also featuring a newer processor. Both have high-quality OLED touchscreens and are capable of general use, but if gaming or graphics-intensive applications are a priority, the ASUS might be more suitable because of its dedicated Nvidia graphics card. However, for daily tasks and portability, Samsung's lighter design and longer battery life could make it more appealing. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 for content creation.
For general use, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offer screens with clear images, sharp details due to their high resolution, and sufficient brightness which enhances visibility in various lighting conditions. In engineering and design, both laptops provide extensive color coverage with their panels supporting a wide range of color gamuts, ensuring accurate color representation crucial for detailed work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, their screen's lower refresh rates could lead to less fluid motion, which is not ideal when fast response times and smooth visuals are key.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 and Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is equipped with a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti graphics card which allows for better gaming and 3D performance compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360's integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, although both laptops only support a 60Hz screen refresh rate, limiting the smoothness during fast-paced games. Both models feature OLED screens which deliver high-quality visuals for gaming and 3D applications, but the ASUS's superior GPU provides an edge for more demanding tasks.

How the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."
"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."
