The Lenovo Legion Slim 5i is a more expensive choice with higher performance for intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, and machine learning due to its powerful processor and dedicated graphics card, making it suitable for gaming as well. It also has a higher refresh rate display, which is beneficial for fast-paced visuals but has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is less expensive, lighter, and offers longer battery life; it's ideal for general use and benefits from a touchscreen OLED display with vibrant colors. However, it has less storage and is not as well suited for demanding applications or gaming due to its integrated graphics. Give Feedback

Mark Knapp | August 2023
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 acknowledges that a gaming laptop doesn’t have to be as thick as possible and can still ensure adequate cooling when the muscles need flexing. To this end, in the Slim 5 Gen 8, it finds a neat balance of refined, trimmed-down design that still lets its internals cruise (even above their max power ratings). Lenovo then added in some high-end build quality with an altogether excellent keyboard that’s useful for both work and play."

Adam Speight | July 2023
"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."
