The Lenovo Slim Pro 9i is a better choice if you need high performance for tasks like 3D rendering or engineering software, as it comes with a stronger processor and more powerful graphics card. This makes it suitable for intensive tasks, including gaming. However, be aware that it is heavier and has shorter battery life which affects its portability. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more affordable and lighter, making it very portable with better battery life. It's well suited for general use and entertainment, boasting an OLED screen with vibrant colors, though less ideal for demanding software and gaming due to its less powerful processor and integrated graphics.

The Lenovo Slim Pro 9i is very good for general use, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good.
The Lenovo Slim Pro 9i excels in general use due to its higher RAM and advanced CPU, which ensure smooth multitasking and faster processing, alongside a high-quality Mini LED screen that offers better color and contrast, but this comes at the cost of heavier weight and shorter battery life compared to the more portable Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which has an excellent OLED display for vivid colors, but lower RAM and a less powerful CPU suitable for less demanding tasks, with the added benefit of a longer battery life and 2-in-1 convertible design for enhanced versatility.

The Lenovo Slim Pro 9i has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Lenovo Slim Pro 9i boasts a high-resolution display with excellent brightness and color accuracy, making it ideal for tasks requiring detailed visuals such as photo editing and architectural design, but its average refresh rate makes it less suitable for high-frame-rate gaming. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 also offers a quality display with good resolution and brightness for everyday tasks and professional work that involves precise color representation but falls short for gaming due to a similar limitation on refresh rate. For users focusing on gaming or 3D rendering, they would benefit from a laptop with a higher refresh rate, even at the expense of some color accuracy and resolution.

"The Lenovo Slim Pro 9i is an impressive laptop with a brilliant Mini-LED display, a powerful 100-watt version of Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics, and excellent connectivity. Having run the Cinebench benchmark again, we were impressed with the CPU performance. That makes the Slim Pro 9i is an easy recommendation, especially for those who care about GPU and CPU performance. It’s also a fantastic choice if you frequently view HDR movies and games on your laptop."

"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."
