The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus offers better performance for intensive engineering and machine learning tasks with a larger storage space and more robust processor, ideal for professional use at a lower midrange price. Its bigger screen and higher resolution could benefit productivity, but at 3.7 pounds, it's less portable than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360. The Samsung, on the other hand, is more lightweight and has an OLED touchscreen, which can be great for general use and media consumption; it also has longer battery life and is highly portable, perfect for on-the-go usage. Both have similar RAM, quality keyboards, and are priced comparably, so your choice should reflect your primary needs: performance and productivity with the Dell, or portability and touchscreen functionality with the Samsung.

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is better for gaming and 3D applications due to its more powerful main processor, allowing for higher performance during intensive tasks, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, despite having a high-quality OLED screen which offers vivid colors and deep blacks, is held back by a less capable processor, which could slow down performance in more demanding gaming and 3D scenarios. Both laptops have similar GPU capabilities and screen refresh rates, but the stronger CPU in the Dell makes it more suitable for these purposes.

"The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is for power users on a budget. If you're looking to maximize CPU and GPU performance on your next 14-inch laptop, then consider the pricier Razer Blade 14 or Asus Zephyrus G14. If you're looking for a thin-and-light 14-inch Ultrabook, then the Asus Zenbook 14 or LG Gram 14 may be better options. For the best of both worlds, however, the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7420 rides a fine line between extreme performance and portability while keeping prices at reasonable levels. Frequent travelers who rely on performance beyond what the Core U-series and integrated graphics series can offer will find the Dell to be a solid solution."

"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."
