The Lenovo will generally cost more, while the Samsung is a more budget-friendly option with better battery life. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for gaming and AI, and content creation, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
For general use, both the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offer clear and bright displays with high resolution, making text and images sharp, which is pleasing for everyday tasks like web browsing and document editing. These laptops are also well-suited for engineering and design, thanks to their wide color gamuts, ensuring that professionals in these fields can see accurate colors and subtle differences when working on projects. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both models fall short as their refresh rates aren't high enough for the smooth visuals that these activities typically require, and the resolution and panel type don't compensate enough for this deficiency.

Mark Knapp | July 2023
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."

"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."
