The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 offers better performance for intensive tasks like engineering due to its higher-end processor and dedicated graphics card, making it suitable for demanding software applications. However, this comes at a higher cost and with less portability compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which is lighter and more affordable. The Galaxy Book2 360 also has a touchscreen and an OLED display, which provides superior color reproduction, but it has less storage and memory, and its performance is more suited for general use rather than heavy computational tasks.

Cliff Joseph | June 2022
"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."
