The HP Envy 17 offers a larger screen size, which is beneficial for multitasking and media consumption. It boasts a more powerful main processor, offering better performance for engineering and intensive tasks. However, this model is heavier and less portable than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, making it less ideal for frequent travel. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a smaller and more portable frame while providing a higher-quality OLED touchscreen display, which yields better colors and contrast.

"In our test, the HP Envy 17-cr0079ng presents itself as a balanced multimedia laptop. Thanks to its solid CPU performance and dedicated entry-level GeForce, it can also be used for playing video games, as long as the demands aren't too high.

"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."
