The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is a much more expensive laptop with powerful performance suited for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering tasks, but it's heavier, which affects portability. It has a high-refresh-rate screen and a robust GPU, but limited battery life. Conversely, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is less expensive and offers a more portable option with better battery life and a high-quality OLED touchscreen, ideal for general use and multimedia consumption. Nonetheless, it has less power for demanding tasks and lacks a dedicated GPU, which might not suit heavy gaming or professional creative work. The choice depends on your balance between performance and portability for your specific needs. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair.
The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is equipped with a high-end Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card and a screen that refreshes 300 times per second, which are prime for gaming and 3D applications. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a significantly less powerful integrated Intel graphics solution and a lower screen refresh rate, making it less suitable for gaming and 3D despite being more compact and having a touchscreen.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen for general use, engineering and design, and content creation.
The Gigabyte Aorus 15P, with its focus on performance, provides screens that are high in resolution and brightness, which works well for general use and detailed engineering tasks, but its lower refresh rate makes it less ideal for the fast-paced visuals needed in gaming and 3D work. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers a versatile screen with vibrant colors and high resolution suited for meticulous engineering designs and comfortable general computing, yet it falls short for gaming and 3D use where a higher refresh rate is key to smoother imagery. Both laptops have displays with good panel types and resolution, making them suitable for a range of professional tasks, but neither is optimized for the high-refresh demands of gaming and 3D applications.

How the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 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."
"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."
