The Lenovo Legion 7, with its higher-end graphics card and CPU, excels in performance for 3D rendering, engineering, and gaming. However, it's bulkier and has less battery life compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. On the other hand, the Galaxy Book3 360 with its OLED display, offers better portability, longer battery life, and is more affordable, but it's less powerful for intensive tasks and doesn't have a dedicated graphics card. If portability and battery are your priorities, the Samsung is a solid choice; for high-end gaming or demanding software, the Lenovo would be more suitable. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion 7 is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion 7 is superior for gaming and 3D applications because it has a powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card and a high screen refresh rate of 165Hz, which ensures smoother visuals and better rendering performance. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is equipped with an Intel Iris Xe graphics chip and a standard screen refresh rate of 60Hz, making it less suited for demanding gaming and 3D tasks despite its OLED screen's high quality.

How the Lenovo Legion 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"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."
"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."
