If you prioritize gaming or engineering tasks that require a powerful dedicated graphics card, the HP Omen 16, with its more robust processor and graphics, is better suited for those needs, albeit at a higher price and with less portability due to its larger size and weight. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers more versatility with its 2-in-1 convertible design, which allows it to be used as both a laptop and a tablet, and it has a high-quality OLED screen ideal for media consumption. It's also lighter and more portable, but it's not as well-equipped for graphically intensive tasks. If battery life is critical, the Galaxy Book's smaller battery might not last as long as the one in the Omen, which could be significant if you're often on the move and away from power sources.

The HP Omen 16 is very good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair.
The HP Omen 16 typically comes with a more powerful GPU and higher screen refresh rates, which is crucial for smooth gaming and 3D rendering performance. On the other hand, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a GPU that can handle some gaming and 3D tasks, it is less powerful and paired with a screen that likely has a lower refresh rate, making it less ideal for those applications but still suitable for general use and entertainment.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and HP Omen 16 are both good for general use.
The HP Omen 16's robust processor and dedicated graphics make it suitable for demanding applications and multitasking, along with a good screen and sufficient ports for peripherals, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, which balances performance with its thin and light design, excellent screen, and longer battery life for on-the-go use, though it may not handle intense workloads quite as smoothly.

Christian Hintze | October 2021
"The Omen 16 has proven to be a fairly good mid-range gaming laptop with all-around improvements compared to the Omen 15. The high overall performance level across all use cases, the long battery life, and the good FHD display constitute the main advantages of this HP laptop. The main drawbacks are the faulty touchpad (one-off?) and the high latencies that can be observed even after just opening the browser. Furthermore, the useless, preinstalled 30-day trial versions of various software also fall under the category "unnecessary"."

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."
