The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X offers a higher performance with a more powerful processor and dedicated graphics card suitable for intensive engineering tasks, 3D work, and gaming, but it is less portable and has shorter battery life. Despite its larger screen and heavier build, it also provides exceptional screen quality. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, on the other hand, is more affordable, lightweight and has a longer battery life, making it highly portable; however, it has integrated graphics and a less powerful processor, which makes it less suited for demanding applications but still capable for general use and basic engineering work. Both have high-quality OLED touchscreens, but the Zenbook's larger, higher-resolution screen may be more appealing for creative work that benefits from extra screen space and precision. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X delivers better gaming and 3D performance primarily because it is equipped with a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card, in contrast to the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 which uses an integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU, which isn't as powerful. While both laptops have the same screen refresh rate, the quality of graphics processing is much higher in the ASUS, giving gamers and 3D users a significantly enhanced experience.

Marc Herter, Alex Wätzel | November 2023
"The new Zenbook Pro 16X is more powerful, quieter and doesn't need to shy away from dedicated workstations and gamers. It is also comparatively compact, and our test device is the best Zenbook that we've reviewed so far. It seems equally suitable for content creators and gamers or anyone looking for a very powerful laptop that is still slim."

"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."
