The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the HP Dragonfly Pro 14" for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, the HP Dragonfly Pro offers a pleasing visual experience with its resolution and brightness, but the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 edges it out with an even sharper display and higher brightness, making images and text more vivid and easier to see in various lighting conditions. In tasks such as engineering and design, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 provides superior color accuracy with better coverage of the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB color gamuts, which is critical for professional color work.

Brendan Nystedt | March 2023
"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."

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."
