The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 offers a larger storage capacity and a screen with a taller aspect ratio which can be better for productivity tasks, but it is heavier and thicker than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360. The Samsung has a smaller, higher contrast OLED screen with more vibrant colors, making it excellent for media consumption and it is lighter and thinner for better portability. Both have similar battery life, but the Dell comes with newer release date technology. Consider the Dell for storage and productivity, whereas the Samsung is ideal for its display quality and portability. Both are similarly priced and suitable for general use and not intensive gaming.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen than the Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 offers adequate resolution and brightness for everyday tasks, but it lacks the superior color range and higher resolutions needed for detail-oriented engineering and design work, and its modest refresh rate doesn't suit the fast-paced visuals required in gaming and 3D applications. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 boasts a vibrant display with excellent color accuracy and a bright screen which enhances the experience for general use and professional design work, but, like the Dell, it falls short in gaming due to a less than ideal refresh rate. Essentially, both laptops are well-suited for productivity and creative purposes, however, neither is ideal for high-end gaming or 3D rendering where refresh rates are crucial.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are considered fair for gaming and 3D because they have integrated GPUs – AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Vega 8 and Intel i7-1255U Iris Xe, respectively – which are suitable for light gaming, but not for high-end gaming which requires more powerful, dedicated graphics cards. Both laptops have a screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which is adequate for casual gaming but may not be ideal for competitive gaming where higher refresh rates can provide smoother visuals.

The Dell Inspiron 14 7435, with its AMD Ryzen processor and Vega 8 graphics, paired with an IPS screen offers robust performance and a good display for engineering and design tasks, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 uses an Intel i7 processor with Iris Xe graphics and an OLED screen which provides exceptional color quality and contrast, beneficial for precision in design work. Although both are equipped with ample RAM, the Dell has a larger screen and storage, which might be preferred for complex projects, whereas the Samsung's smaller, high-quality display and lighter weight make it more portable for on-the-go professionals.

Eric Grevstad | August 2023
"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."

"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."
