If you prioritize performance and display quality for tasks like video editing or graphics work and are willing to pay more, the Dell XPS 13 Plus is a better option with a higher-resolution OLED screen and more RAM. However, it's not as portable due to its slightly heavier build. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is more budget-friendly, offers a larger screen size which is beneficial for productivity, and is slightly lighter, making it more portable, but it compromises on RAM which might affect multitasking and intensive tasks. Both have similar processors and offer touchscreen capabilities, but your choice should depend on whether you value display and performance over cost and portability. Give Feedback

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is very good for general use, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good.
The Dell XPS 13 Plus excels in general use due to its higher RAM and sharper screen resolution, enabling better multitasking and a clearer display, but this also makes it less portable than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, which offers a larger screen and a 2-in-1 convertible design for flexibility.

The Dell XPS 13 Plus has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
When focusing on general use, both the Dell XPS 13 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 feature screens with high resolution and brightness, delivering clear and vivid visuals, though their distinct panel types might impact color representation and viewing angles slightly differently. For engineering and design, the Dell excels with its superior color accuracy and wider color gamut coverage, making it ideal for tasks requiring precise color rendition and detail. However, neither laptop is optimized for gaming or 3D work due to their screens' lower refresh rates, which could lead to less fluid motion and slower response times compared to screens designed specifically for these purposes.

Andreas Osthoff | July 2022
"The XPS 13 Plus is powerful, but has its drawbacks. Dell did not only update the processor generation, but also decided to offer two completely different models from now on. The XPS 13 Plus gets the faster Intel Alder Lake-P chips, and the Core i7-1260P in our review unit offers good performance figures. However, the device once again shows the problems of the current Intel CPUs, because the high performance requires a lot of power. This affects the battery runtime as well as temperatures, so the new model (even with the Optimized power profile) is louder than the older model."

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."
