If you need a laptop primarily for work, especially if it involves rigorous tasks or running complex software, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 with its robust build and potentially more powerful hardware may justify the higher price. However, if portability and versatility are your top priorities, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers a lighter design and a 2-in-1 feature that can be advantageous for casual use, presentations, or consumption of media. Keep in mind, the Samsung's battery life might also be better suited for long hours away from a power source compared to the Lenovo. Give Feedback

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 for software development, and content creation, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 offers a high-resolution display with adequate brightness for comfortable viewing in various lighting conditions, making it suitable for everyday tasks and engineering work that requires color accuracy. However, due to its lower refresh rate, which can affect how smooth animations and transitions appear, it falls short for gaming or 3D work where fluid motion is key. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, with similar benefits in resolution and color reproduction, excels in general use and design-related tasks, but like the T14, its refresh rate isn't high enough to meet the demands of gaming or 3D applications.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 and Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T14, while sturdy and offering solid performance for general tasks, has a GPU that doesn't quite keep up with the demands of high-end gaming or 3D applications; its screen refresh rate also isn't geared towards the high frames per second required for smooth gameplay. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, despite having a versatile 2-in-1 design and a vibrant screen, will encounter similar performance issues due to an integrated GPU that falls short for serious gaming and is complemented by a refresh rate that doesn't prioritize gaming or heavy 3D work.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo ThinkPad T14 to be very good for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T14, with a robust CPU, ample RAM, and a professional-grade GPU, excels in demanding engineering software, and its high-quality screen shows detailed visuals, while the ThinkPad's renowned keyboard and solid build handle extensive typing and use with ease. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers a high-resolution screen and versatile 2-in-1 design for dynamic design work, its portability enhanced by a lighter frame, though its speakers and operating noise are secondary considerations compared to its performance capabilities.

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."

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."
