The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 offers higher processing power and a dedicated graphics card, which is beneficial for tasks like 3D rendering and engineering software, but it is less portable due to its higher weight. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while not as powerful for intensive tasks, is lighter and more portable, with an OLED screen that provides vivid colors and can be a preferable choice if you prioritize portability and media consumption. The Lenovo tends to be pricier, so if budget is a concern, the Samsung may offer a better balance of features to cost. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Slim 7 Pro 14's screen has the basic resolution and brightness that are adequate for general tasks and engineering design, but its lower refresh rate isn't optimal for the fast-paced visuals required in gaming and 3D applications. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers enhanced brightness and resolution, enhancing the viewing experience for everyday usage and making detailed design work more vivid due to its wide color gamut, but like the Lenovo, it falls short for gaming and 3D due to a refresh rate that's not designed for that purpose. Neither is geared towards gaming or 3D modeling where high refresh rates are crucial to keep visuals smooth and responsive.

"The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."

"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."
