The Eluktronics RP-15 comes at a midrange price with high-end gaming capabilities, featuring a fast refresh rate display and a powerful GPU suitable for 3D rendering, machine learning, and other intensive engineering tasks. However, it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is priced lower in the midrange, and while it has a less powerful CPU and GPU, it offers a high-resolution OLED touchscreen display with better battery life and is very light, making it highly portable and suitable for general use, 3D rendering, and engineering tasks that are less resource-intensive.

The Eluktronics RP-15 is very good for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good.
The Eluktronics RP-15 stands out for engineering and design work due to its high-end CPU and GPU, which translate to better performance for computation and graphics-intensive tasks, along with a good-quality screen; however, it is less portable and noisier under load compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which offers a premium OLED touchscreen display with high color accuracy, making it a good fit for design but with less powerful graphics capabilities, yet it is more portable and versatile as a 2-in-1 device.

The Eluktronics RP-15 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for engineering and design.
The Eluktronics RP-15 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 feature high-resolution displays with excellent color accuracy, making them ideal for general use and professional tasks like engineering and design that demand precise color representation. However, for gaming and 3D applications where in-game visuals and smooth motion are enhanced by quicker refresh rates, these laptops fall short, as their screens do not refresh as quickly as specialized gaming laptops. This leads to less fluid motion in fast-paced games and can be a drawback for gamers or professionals working with 3D graphics who require the smoothest visual experiences.

How the Eluktronics RP-15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
"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."
