When choosing between the Dell Inspiron 14 5425 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, consider their strengths and what you need most from a laptop. The Dell is generally less expensive and includes an AMD processor, which is often well-regarded for a balance of performance and price. However, the Samsung has a sleeker design, a slightly lighter weight, and features an OLED screen, which will give you more vivid colors and deeper blacks. The Samsung is also a 2-in-1 convertible, meaning you can use it as a tablet, which adds versatility for presentations or media consumption. If battery life is a priority, the Samsung outperforms the Dell, making it a better choice for working on the go. Ultimately, if budget is less of a concern and you value a higher-quality display and flexibility, the Samsung might be the better option, but for those looking to save money without significant sacrifice in performance, the Dell is a solid choice.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the Dell Inspiron 14 5425 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Dell Inspiron 14 5425 may offer adequate resolution and brightness for everyday tasks and productivity software which suffices for general use and engineering applications, but its lower refresh rate and potential lack of wider color gamut coverage could make it less ideal for design work and poor for gaming or 3D rendering. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, with superior brightness and resolution, provides a more vibrant and sharp display suitable for detail-oriented work in design and engineering, but its still inadequate refresh rate falls short for the smooth visuals avid gamers and 3D applications require. Both laptops, despite their strengths in display for various professional tasks, might not satisfy users seeking the high-refresh experience essential for modern gaming and smooth 3D work.

Sascha Mölck | August 2022
"A slim chassis, an acceptable weight (1.6 kg) and a real-world battery life of almost 13 hours turn the Inspiron into a mobile companion. Good: The battery can not only be charged using Dell's proprietary power adapter, but also with a universal USB-C power adapter (min. 45 watts). Office and Internet applications are handled by the built-in combination of Ryzen 5 5625U APU and 16 GB of RAM just as easily as modest computer games. Heat and noise development are generally okay, but the laptop should work a bit quieter under full load."

Trusted Reviews
Adam Speight | July 2023
"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."
