The HP Envy x360 15" is often less expensive and offers solid general use performance with good screen brightness and color coverage, suitable for everyday tasks, light gaming, and casual multimedia use. However, if you prioritize higher storage capacity, more memory, and a premium display with exceptional color accuracy and contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 might be a better fit, despite being more expensive. It boasts a lighter and slimmer form factor, making it more portable, with an OLED screen that enhances visual experiences, ideal for creative professionals or anyone who desires a high-quality display for multimedia consumption. Both laptops are touchscreen-enabled, run Windows 11, and should provide comparable battery life, but the Galaxy Book3 360's portability and display may justify the extra cost for users with specific needs or preferences.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the HP Envy x360 15" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360's superior resolution and brightness provide a crisp and vibrant display, which makes it very good, while the HP Envy x360's display, despite being adequate, is less impressive in these aspects. When it comes to engineering and design, the wider color gamut coverage such as DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB on the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 ensures accurate color reproduction, vital for detail-oriented work, an area where the HP lags. However, for gaming and 3D tasks, both laptops fall short due to their lower refresh rates, despite having resolutions and panel types that would otherwise be suitable for such applications.

CNET
Matt Elliott | January 2023
"Despite its good looks, stellar webcam and comfortable keyboard, the Envy x360 15 is hard to recommend because of its dim, 16:9 display. If the display isn't an issue for you, just be sure to wait for a good sale price. Otherwise, a more modern two-in-one with a 16:10 display such as the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 or Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 provides a larger workspace without adding much to the size and weight of the system."

Trusted Reviews
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."
