If you prioritize high performance for intensive tasks such as gaming or engineering software, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 with its dedicated graphics and more powerful processor would suit you better, albeit with higher cost and less portability. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers a touchscreen OLED display in a more lightweight and compact design with longer battery life, making it ideal for general use and portability, and it comes at a lower price, but it lags in performance compared to the Lenovo, especially for demanding 3D or engineering applications.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for general use, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 boasts a high-performance CPU and superior GPU, providing excellent capability for demanding tasks, paired with a larger, high-refresh-rate screen, benefiting visual clarity and smoothness, but it's less portable due to its size and shorter battery life compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 which offers a good CPU for general tasks, an OLED screen with vivid colors, and superior battery life, making it highly portable and suitable for on-the-go use without the same level of gaming or processing power.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and 3D due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU and high screen refresh rate of 240 Hz, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is fair for gaming and 3D because it has a less capable Intel i7-1255U Iris Xe GPU and a lower screen refresh rate of 60 Hz. The Lenovo's dedicated GPU and higher refresh rate significantly enhance gaming and 3D applications performance, which are critical for a smoother and more immersive experience.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is equipped with a high-performance CPU and dedicated GPU, making it superior for engineering and design applications that require intensive processing and graphics handling, but it is less portable due to its larger size and weight. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers a good balance between performance and portability with a capable CPU and integrated graphics, and its high-quality OLED touchscreen and lightweight, 2-in-1 convertible design make it a versatile option for on-the-go engineering and design tasks.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for general use, gaming and AI, software development, and content creation.
In choosing between the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, for general use and engineering tasks, you'll enjoy the sharp visuals and vibrant colors due to their high resolution and wide color coverage, making both ideal for productivity and precision work. However, when it comes to gaming or 3D rendering, neither laptop's screen is optimal, primarily as they lack the high refresh rates required for smooth motion and fast-paced visuals these activities benefit from. So, if your primary concern is gaming or working with 3D applications, you might want to consider laptops specifically designed for those purposes, with screens that support rapid image refresh for an improved experience.

"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."
