The Eluktronics Mech-15 G3R, being a premium gaming laptop with a powerful main processor, dedicated high-end GPU, and large battery capacity, is suitable for intense gaming, 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks. However, its larger size, weight, and shorter battery life affect portability. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers excellent portability, an OLED touchscreen, and better battery life, albeit with less performance due to its standard main processor and integrated graphics, making it suitable for general use and tasks that benefit from a touchscreen, such as design or note-taking, but not for demanding gaming or engineering workflows.

Aaron Ritchie | September 2022
"Everything considered, the XMG Neo 15 (Mech-15 G3R) with RTX 3070 Ti is a great gaming performer. The combination of the Ti graphics card with the new Intel 12th gen CPU is enough to go toe-to-toe, and even slightly pull ahead of the RTX 3080 in most titles, though on games with Ray-Tracing enabled, particularly with graphics set to the maximum and on higher resolutions, the additional VRAM of the RTX 3080 makes a big impact, and the 8GB RTX 3070 Ti machine simply can’t compete, even with the more powerful processor."

"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."
