The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is pricier and offers stronger performance for tasks such as 3D rendering, machine learning, and other engineering work due to its high-end processor and advanced GPU. It's a substantial device with a larger, higher-resolution screen and extended battery capacity but is heavier, making it less portable. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more budget-friendly, lighter, and hence easier to carry around, which is better for general use and has a longer typical battery life. However, it has less power for demanding tasks since it uses a mid-range processor and integrated graphics. Both feature OLED touchscreens, but ASUS's screen is larger and might be more suitable for tasks requiring a lot of screen real estate. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is well-suited for gaming and 3D applications because it's equipped with a high-performance Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 comes with the Intel Iris Xe which is less powerful for such tasks. Both laptops have a similar screen refresh rate, but the superiority of the Asus's GPU significantly boosts its capability for gaming and 3D rendering.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is excellent for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for engineering and design use because it sports a high-end Intel i9 processor, substantial RAM, and an advanced Nvidia RTX GPU, paired with an OLED screen with high resolution, making it well-suited for demanding tasks and visual precision. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while still good for engineering and design, uses a less powerful Intel i7 processor with integrated graphics and has half the RAM of the ASUS, making it better for portability and still capable of handling engineering applications, albeit less intensively.

"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
"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."
