Choosing between the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 involves considering your priorities. The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 offers more powerful hardware suitable for intensive tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering applications. However, it's heavier, making it less portable than the Samsung. The Galaxy Book2 360, on the other hand, is lighter, has a longer battery life, and includes a touchscreen with an OLED display that's great for general use and media consumption, but it's less suited for demanding tasks due to its less powerful processor and integrated graphics.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 delivers a superior gaming and 3D experience with its Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card and a high screen refresh rate of 165 Hz, making it more suitable for fast-paced visual content. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while offering an Intel Iris Xe graphics card and an OLED screen, only has a refresh rate of 60 Hz, which means less fluid motion and lower performance in gaming and 3D tasks.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
The Lenovo Legion Slim and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 both feature panels with resolutions and brightness levels that offer clear and vivid images suited for everyday tasks, but the Galaxy Book2 is noted for its superior image fidelity. For engineering and design, where accurate color reproduction is critical, the Galaxy Book2 likely has a wider coverage of color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, which translates to more precise color work. However, for gaming and 3D applications that demand fluid motion, the lower refresh rates on both laptops make them less optimal, with the Lenovo potentially having a slight edge if it has a moderately better refresh rate or panel type.

How the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
"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."
