If you require higher storage capacity, more RAM for multitasking, and a premium screen quality with better color accuracy, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 could serve you better. It features a higher-quality OLED touchscreen and is lighter, making it more portable with a slightly longer battery life. However, if you prioritize a larger screen size or need a robust laptop for business purposes, the Dell Latitude 5430 with its professional features and solid build would be more appropriate. The Dell also costs somewhat more, aligning with its positioning as a premium business laptop. Both laptops are well-suited for general use, but neither are ideal for intensive gaming. Give Feedback

"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."
