The HP Victus 15 is a more budget-friendly option and comes with dedicated gaming-grade graphics, making it suitable for intensive tasks like gaming or engineering software. However, its bulkier design and heavier weight impact its portability. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 includes a more powerful processor and an OLED touchscreen display with 2-in-1 convertible functionality, offering flexibility for tablet use and potentially better visuals. It's also lighter and thinner, favoring portability and ease of use on-the-go. When considering battery life, the Samsung has a bigger capacity, which may translate to longer use between charges compared to the HP. Give Feedback

How the HP Victus 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong | March 2023
"The HP Victus 15 is great for gaming. It's available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics, which are powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience in demanding AAA titles at 1080p. It has a nice keyboard and a fast SSD, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity for low-latency online gaming. Unfortunately, its 144Hz display has a slow response time causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."
"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."
