The Lenovo Legion 7i Pro is tailored for high performance but is heavier and has a shorter battery life, ideal for intensive engineering tasks, 3D, machine learning, or gaming. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is more portable, has a longer battery life, and a touchscreen OLED display, but offers less power and is better suited for general use. If high-end performance is key and budget allows, go for the Lenovo, otherwise, if portability and cost are more important, the Samsung might suit you better. Always consider your primary activities and whether portability or performance takes precedence for you. Give Feedback

How the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"Passionate gamers who want to play demanding modern titles with maximum details and don't mind spending the moolah will find the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro to be the right choice. The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
"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."
