The Lenovo Slim 7 16 may be the better choice for intensive engineering tasks and gaming due to its more powerful AMD processor and Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics, but it's heavier and bulkier which makes it less portable. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a more vivid OLED touchscreen, slightly longer battery life and is lighter, hence more portable, making it well-suited for general use and entertainment. It also has a better webcam and is quieter. However, the lower refresh rate and integrated graphics mean it's not as good as the Lenovo for fast-paced gaming or heavy graphical work. Give Feedback

Eric Grevstad | March 2022
"At $1,011, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a real bargain among full-sized laptops, with a handsome 16-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio touch screen, a speedy CPU, a comfortable keyboard, ample memory, and a roomy solid-state drive. It's not a blazing gaming rig or mobile workstation, but it doesn't pretend to be. Its biggest negative is that it may be hard to find—during our review, it sold out and was marked "Temporarily Unavailable" on Lenovo's site."

Trusted Reviews
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."
