The Lenovo Legion 7 offers high performance, especially for 3D tasks, machine learning, and gaming, due to its powerful GPU and CPU combination, but it's heavier, which makes it less portable, and it has a shorter battery life. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more portable, has longer battery life, and its OLED touchscreen is suitable for general use with better color quality for media consumption, but it lacks the power for more intensive tasks and isn't designed for gaming like the Legion 7. Choose the Legion 7 for performance-demanding tasks or the Galaxy Book2 360 for portability and everyday use. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion 7 is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion 7 offers a superior gaming and 3D experience thanks to its high-performance Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card and a high screen refresh rate of 165, which provides smooth visuals. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, with its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and a lower screen refresh rate of 60, is more suited for less demanding tasks, despite its high-quality OLED display.

The Lenovo Legion 7 is very good for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7, with its AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia RTX GPU, offers robust performance and a high-quality IPS screen for demanding engineering and design tasks, at the cost of less portability due to its heavier build. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while still suitable for engineering and design with a competent Intel CPU and integrated graphics, excels in portability and versatility as a 2-in-1 convertible with an OLED touchscreen, but has less raw power compared to the Legion 7 and a less capable GPU for intensive graphical work.

Andreas Osthoff | September 2022
"The Lenovo Legion 7 is a fast 16-inch gamer with 165 Hz display. The new Lenovo Legion 7 is a very good gaming notebook that, despite its comparatively compact compact 16-inch case, does not have to do without the most powerful components. Thanks to good cooling, no compromises are made in terms of performance. Both the Core i9-12900HX and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti perform at a very high level."

"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."
