When considering the Dell Inspiron 16 5625 versus the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, take note of these key differences: The Dell offers more screen real estate and a higher-resolution IPS display which is beneficial for productivity and multimedia, though it is heavier and larger, making it less portable. The Samsung, on the other hand, features an OLED display with superior color accuracy and contrast, making it an excellent choice for photo or video editing, and it boasts a longer battery life. The Samsung is also more compact and lighter, enhancing its portability for frequent travel. If your tasks include general use, the Dell’s lower price may appeal to you, but if you're involved in creative work or prioritize battery life and portability, the Samsung is a more suitable option.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and Dell Inspiron 16 5625 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Inspiron 16 5625 is fair for gaming and 3D due to its AMD integrated GPU and a standard 60Hz refresh rate on its IPS display which limits gaming fluidity but offers decent graphics handling. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 also provides fair performance in these areas with its Intel integrated GPU and an OLED screen with the same 60Hz refresh rate, delivering good visuals but not the high frame rates desired by gamers.

Ultrabook Review
Derek Sullivan | January 2023
"I think there is fair value in the Inspiron 16 this year. Very little has changed with the laptop and my opinion hasn’t really changed either. In other words, I like it. Overall, I think the pros far outweigh the cons of this laptop and the price is certainly justifiable. I found this to be a great typer and I could potentially work all day on this machine, provided I don’t need a graphics card."

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."
