The Dell Inspiron 16 5630 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for software development, and content creation, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Dell Inspiron 16 5630, with its good resolution and brightness, ensures a clear and vivid display for everyday tasks and detailed work in engineering and design due to its color accuracy, but the lower refresh rate makes it less ideal for the fast-paced visuals required in gaming and 3D content.

For users who prioritize work in design or everyday productivity, both laptops offer quality displays, but for those focused on gaming and 3D performance, the screen specifications may not meet the requirements for the best experience.

Cliff Joseph | June 2022
"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."
