The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is better suited if superior performance for 3D applications, machine learning, or intensive engineering tasks is a priority, thanks to its powerful processor and GPU. However, its weight and battery life make it less portable. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, on the other hand, offers better portability, a unique OLED touchscreen, and longer battery life, making it ideal for general use and tasks that benefit from a high-quality display. It is also more affordable but won't handle intensive tasks as effectively due to its less powerful processor and integrated graphics. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The Gigabyte Aorus 15P's higher GPU performance with an Nvidia RTX 3080 and a screen refresh rate of 300Hz make it well-suited for gaming and 3D applications, ensuring smoother visuals and better handling of graphics-intensive tasks compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which has a less capable Intel Iris Xe graphics and a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate. Although the Galaxy Book2 360 has a high-quality OLED screen, its GPU and refresh rate are less suited for fast-paced gaming and demanding 3D work.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P 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 general use, and engineering and design.
If you prioritize a vibrant display and sharp details for everyday tasks like browsing and document editing, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360's high resolution and brightness make it an excellent choice, outshining the Gigabyte Aorus 15P. For engineering and design work where accurate color reproduction is crucial, both laptops perform well, but the Samsung edges out with better coverage of professional color gamuts, ensuring your designs look true to life. However, if you're into gaming or 3D modeling, neither is ideal due to their lower refresh rates, but the Aorus 15P might provide a slightly better experience thanks to its moderately better panel type and resolution.

How the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"The Aorus 15P is a high-end gaming laptop with fast 360 Hz display. Gaming performance in the Aorus 15P YD is very high thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 installed here. However, with the use of the Intel Core i7-11800H, CPU performance also closes in on the strong competition from AMD. SSD performance is excellent as well, and it leaves no room for criticism. Thanks to the built-in Intel Core i7-11800H, the system performance of the Aorus 15P YD increases significantly."
"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."
