The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for software development, and content creation, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 has a high-resolution screen and bright panel, making it crisp and easy to read for daily tasks, along with adequate color accuracy for most engineering and design work, but it lacks the high refresh rate needed for smooth 3D gaming. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 boasts a similar high resolution and brightness, as well as strong color reproduction, so it can display a wide range of colors needed by design professionals, though, like the Lenovo, it falls short for gaming due to a refresh rate that's not optimal for fast-paced visuals. Both laptops are better suited for productivity and creative endeavors than for gaming, where the screen's refresh abilities become a limiting factor.

Benjamin Herzig | December 2023
"We like a lot about this laptop. It has many ports, with the inclusion of RJ45-Ethernet as a defining feature. WWAN is upgradable for maximum flexibility and the ThinkPad has many security functions. Working with the ThinkPad input devices is a lot of fun, and Lenovo puts in a serviceable Low Power panel. The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U delivers a great performance and does not drain the battery fast. Fan noise and temperatures are nothing special, but also far away from bad. With the user replaceable keyboard, the ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 has a special feature rarely present on most modern laptops."

"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."
