The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro offers higher resolution and smoother visuals with its 90Hz display, making it suitable for detailed graphical work and a richer media experience. Its larger 14-inch screen may also be better for productivity tasks, but it's slightly heavier and larger than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, affecting portability. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has an OLED screen which can be preferable for vibrant colors and deeper blacks, a more recent processor, and is lighter, enhancing its portability. Both have similar memory and storage, ensuring comparable performance for general use. If you often work on the move, value a lightweight laptop, or need vibrant colors for media, the Galaxy Book2 360 could be a better fit. Conversely, if you require a larger, faster-refreshing screen for work or enjoy consuming media with finer detail, the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro may be more appropriate. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | October 2021
"The main selling point of the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro versus a regular IdeaPad Slim 7 is its faster Core H-series CPU. In reality, the Core i7-11370H is only marginally faster than the U-series Core i7-1165G7 to the point where most users are not likely to notice the benefits. The slight performance uptick comes at the cost of slightly higher power consumption as well meaning owners will have to deal with potentially warmer temperatures or louder fans to compensate. Unless if you happen to be a power user, then the regular non-Pro model will be more than enough. Once you go 90 Hz, you can't go back."

"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."
