The HP Omen 15, being more expensive, offers robust performance through higher processing and graphics power, making it suitable for intensive tasks like gaming, 3D modeling, or engineering software. It also boasts a larger screen but is less portable due to greater weight and size. Conversely, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more affordable and highly portable, with its lightweight design and smaller OLED touchscreen that can double as a tablet, which may benefit general use or professions requiring a versatile device. However, it has less storage and its performance, while good for everyday tasks, may lag behind the HP during demanding activities. Choose the HP for high-performance needs or the Samsung for portability and flexibility in use. Give Feedback

Florian Glaser | January 2021
"We consider around 1,260 Euros (~$1530) for a Ryzen 7 4800H, a GeForce RTX 2060, a 512 GB SSD and 16 GB dual-channel RAM to be a good offer that appeals to price-conscious gamers. Very high details are rarely a problem in the native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. Buyers will also be spoiled with a top-notch battery life that even beats most other notebook classes. If HP now improves the speed of the WLAN module, the stability of the case and the repeatedly criticized picture quality, the competition will have to dress extra warmly."

"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."
