To decide between the Gateway 14.1" and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, consider your needs. The Gateway is more budget-friendly, making it suitable for general use and basic tasks. On the other hand, the Samsung offers higher performance, better for intensive tasks like 3D work, machine learning, or gaming. It also has a 360-degree hinge for tablet-like usage and typically includes a stylus, catering to artists or note-takers. Expect longer battery life and more portability with the Samsung, but at a premium cost. If your priority is saving money and you only perform everyday tasks, Gateway might suffice. However, if you need a high-performance, versatile machine and can invest more, go for the Samsung. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Gateway 14.1" is poor.
The Gateway 14.1" has a basic Intel Celeron processor and integrated graphics which limit gaming and 3D capabilities, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, with its more powerful Intel i7 processor and better integrated Iris Xe graphics, offers improved performance for such tasks. Both laptops have similar screen refresh rates and quality, but the stronger CPU and GPU in the Samsung make it more suitable for gaming and 3D applications.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the Gateway 14.1" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Gateway 14.1" provides adequate visuals for everyday tasks and the screen is bright enough for most environments, but its lower resolution might not be ideal for detail-oriented engineering work and its modest refresh rate limits its appeal to gamers or those using 3D applications. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers a high-resolution display that renders sharp text and detailed visuals beneficial for general use and professional design work, as well as offering a wider color range crucial for accurate color representation in engineering and design. However, like the Gateway, it also falls short for gaming and 3D tasks due to its lower refresh rate that doesn't support the fluid motion these applications often require.

"The Gateway Ultra Slim 14" is surprisingly quiet with long battery life. The inexpensive Gateway excels at maximizing performance per dollar with lots of RAM and storage, super-quiet fan, and a long battery life. It can even house up to two M.2 SSDs which we weren't expecting from such a cheap system. However, the iffy reliability of the keyboard and USB-C port on our test unit means users should double-check for these potential issues immediately after purchasing."

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."
