The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro, being similarly priced to the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, offers a larger screen and higher refresh rate which is great for fluid visuals, making it suitable for gaming and engineering tasks that benefit from a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU. However, it's heavier and thicker, making it less portable than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which has a smaller, vivid OLED touchscreen display, is much lighter and thinner, and also has a very high contrast ratio, making it excellent for general use and media consumption. The IdeaPad has longer battery life, but the Galaxy Book2 360 is more portable and offers a better build quality with a higher portability score. Both have adequate performance for general use and sufficient storage and RAM for most tasks, but if you need higher graphical performance for tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro would be the better choice, at the cost of portability. If portability, touch capability, and a high-quality display are more important to you, opt for the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360. Give Feedback

Florian Glaser | September 2022
"The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro turns out a successful all-rounder that, aside from 3D applications, always strikes a good or very good figure. This begins with the elegant metal case that isn't particularly light but fairly robust, giving a high-quality impression. The input devices are also better than those of many competitors. Both the keyboard and the touchpad are attractive and comfortable. In addition, the performance of the Ryzen 5 6600HS is easily able to keep up with the Intel competitors."

"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."
