The Dell Precision 5470 offers high-end performance suited for intensive tasks such as engineering with a dedicated Nvidia graphics card, but is less portable and more expensive. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more budget-friendly with good performance for general use, and features a touchscreen with an OLED display for vibrant colors and contrasts, making it highly portable but less suitable for demanding applications due to its integrated graphics. Choose the Dell for performance-driven tasks and the Samsung if portability and value with sufficient power for everyday tasks are your priorities. Give Feedback

The Dell Precision 5470 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for software development, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
For general use, both the Dell Precision 5470 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offer high resolution and brightness, with panel types that deliver crisp and clear visuals, making them suitable for everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos. For engineering and design, while both laptops have panels that cover a wide range of colors, the Galaxy Book2 360's display better covers color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, which are essential for color accuracy in professional design work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short due to their lower refresh rates, which can't keep up with the high frame rates desired in fast-paced games and 3D rendering that require smoother motion and quicker screen updates.

Brian Westover | August 2022
"The Dell Precision 5470 is a mobile workstation that's far more portable than most alternatives. Between its slim 14-inch design and top-quality MIL-STD 810H build, it's one of the best options around for taking professional-grade performance on the road or to the job site. There are tradeoffs for its portability, and users of the most demanding, graphics-intensive applications will need to carry something heavier. But the Dell's exceptional battery life underscores its desirability as the most portable workstation we've seen."

"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."
