For better graphics performance and longer battery life, the HP Dragonfly Pro 14" is a good choice; it has a more powerful AMD Ryzen processor and a larger screen with a taller 16:10 aspect ratio, which may benefit productivity tasks like document editing. However, it's notably heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which offers a more portable design and a vibrant OLED display that's excellent for media consumption due to its high contrast ratio and color accuracy, making it suitable for general use and traveling. The Galaxy Book2 360 is also typically less expensive and has a higher portability score, but it may not handle intensive engineering tasks as well as the HP Dragonfly Pro. Give Feedback

The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for software development, and content creation, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The HP Dragonfly Pro appeals to general users and engineers with its satisfactory resolution and brightness, ensuring clear, vibrant display for everyday tasks and detail-oriented work, but its lower refresh rate limits the responsiveness needed for 3D applications. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 shines with its higher resolution and brightness, offering sharp visuals and ample luminance for both productivity and creative design, but just like the HP, it falls short for gaming due to a refresh rate that can't keep up with fast-paced graphics. Both laptops offer impressive color accuracy critical for engineering and design, yet neither caters to the high refresh rate demands of 3D gaming and content creation.

"I’d say that the HP Dragonfly Pro checks off most of the boxes for this freelancer. It feels nice to use, is zippy and responsive, has great speakers, and even has a relatively sane price. Although it’s an unorthodox choice to pick AMD for this kind of machine, it’s clear that when Ryzen is given a chance to shine, it can kick a lot of butt."

"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."
