The Gigabyte Aorus 17G is better suited for intensive gaming and engineering tasks due to its superior graphics card and processing power, which will be more expensive. Its large size and weight make it less portable, and it has a shorter battery life. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is more affordable, highly portable, with a longer battery life and a touchscreen with an OLED display for vibrant colors. However, the integrated graphics are less capable for 3D rendering or engineering software, making it better suited for general use or on-the-go productivity tasks rather than high-end gaming or demanding engineering work.

How the Gigabyte Aorus 17G and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"The Aorus 17G isn't among the top RTX 3080 laptops due to its relatively low TGP of 105 watts. The device's gaming performance is average for an RTX 3080. For maximum performance, competitors like the Lenovo Legion 7 or the Alienware m17 R4 are recommended With the Aorus 17G, Gigabyte delivers a well-rounded gaming laptop. However, the device generates a high noise level. Throttling is not an issue. The CPU and GPU can develop their performance uniformly. Nevertheless, the device produces a lot of noise under load - more than many competitors."
"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."
