If budget is your primary concern, the Lenovo V15 is a more economical option that should handle general use adequately. However, if you value a more versatile and higher performing device, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while more costly, offers better performance and a convertible design for various modes of use. Battery life tends to be superior on the Samsung, which could be important if you need to work on the go. For intensive tasks like 3D work, machine learning, or gaming, the Samsung would typically offer more capability. The trade-off for higher performance would also be decreased portability compared to the lighter Lenovo. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo V15 is only fair.
The Lenovo V15 has a decent processor and integrated graphics, which are adequate for engineering but may struggle with more demanding design tasks, while its TN screen offers lower color accuracy and viewing angles. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 features a higher performing processor and better integrated graphics, and benefits greatly from a high-quality OLED touchscreen that provides better color replication and viewing experience, crucial for design work, making it more suitable for engineering and design purposes.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Lenovo V15's display may lack the necessary resolution, brightness, and panel quality to make it a good choice for all-around use, such as browsing, media viewing, and document editing, which are essential for general use. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 likely offers superior screen quality with better resolution, brightness, and color accuracy, making it suitable for tasks that demand attention to detail and color precision, such as engineering and design work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, where a high refresh rate is crucial for smooth motion, the Galaxy Book2 360's screen falls short, as it's probably not designed with a focus on the high-refresh panels that gaming and 3D rendering require.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and Lenovo V15 are both good for general use.
The Lenovo V15 with its larger screen, ample storage space, and dedicated number pad is ideal for users needing a traditional laptop for work and multitasking, though it's heavier and less portable than convertible options. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, featuring a high-quality OLED touchscreen, superior battery life, and being a 2-in-1 convertible, is perfect for those who prioritize portability and versatility for on-the-go use along with a vibrant display for media consumption.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and Lenovo V15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo V15 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offer fair gaming and 3D capabilities due to their integrated GPUs, with the V15 featuring an AMD Ryzen 5 with Vega 7 graphics and the Book2 360 sporting an Intel i7 with Iris Xe graphics; both GPUs deliver decent performance for light gaming but may struggle with more demanding titles. Additionally, the 60Hz screen refresh rate common to both laptops limits gameplay smoothness, and while both have full HD resolutions, the Galaxy Book2 360's OLED screen provides superior quality in terms of color and contrast over the V15's TN panel.

"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."

"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."
