Both laptops have similar storage, RAM, and they come with touchscreen capabilities, but the choice comes down to whether you prioritize display quality and build (Dell) or battery life and cost (Samsung).

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 stands out due to its higher resolution and brightness, which enhance viewing and readability, compared to the fair screen of the Dell Inspiron, which may suffice for everyday tasks but lacks the clarity and vibrancy of higher-end displays. In engineering and design, the Galaxy Book3 360's superior color accuracy, covering a wider range of color gamuts, provides professionals with a more precise and vivid canvas necessary for their detailed work, whereas the Inspiron's fair color range may not fully meet the requirements for color-sensitive tasks. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short due to their lower refresh rates, which limit motion fluidity and responsiveness critical in these areas, despite the resolution and panel type still contributing to the overall visual experience.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and Dell Inspiron 14 7425 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7425 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 are considered fair for gaming and 3D mainly due to their integrated graphics units, which are typically less powerful compared to dedicated gaming GPUs, and their standard screen refresh rate which, while suitable for casual gaming, may not be ideal for fast-paced action where higher refresh rates can improve the experience. In addition, while both have suitable CPUs and good screen quality, the tradeoff comes in the form of less high-fidelity visual gaming compared to machines with more advanced GPUs and higher refresh rates.

Jared Newman | December 2021
"Overall, this Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers a lot to like, especially at its oft-discounted price of $800. It’s a sturdy laptop with strong performance, a convertible touchscreen, loud speakers, and a convenient fingerprint reader. But the trade-offs you’ll make in pursuit of that lower price—most notably the dim display and stiff trackpad—might just keep you from outright loving it."

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."
