If you're on a budget, the Lenovo V15 offers basic functionality suitable for everyday tasks like browsing and office applications at a lower cost. However, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, while more expensive, provides a more versatile experience with its 2-in-1 design, which allows for tablet-like use, and typically has higher performance, making it better for more demanding applications and multitasking. The higher price of the Samsung also often brings a more premium build, better display, and longer battery life. If portability and flexibility are important, and you need a machine capable of handling more intensive tasks, the Samsung could be worth the investment. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and Lenovo V15 are both good for general use, though the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is somewhat better.
The Lenovo V15 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor, ample RAM, and a generous storage capacity, coupled with a durable battery life, makes for a reliable choice for general use. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 not only matches the RAM but also provides a high-quality OLED touchscreen with a more powerful Intel i7 CPU and a higher-capacity battery, making it versatile for diverse tasks and also suitable for tablet use due to its 2-in-1 convertible design.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo V15 is only fair.
The Lenovo V15 is considered fair for engineering and design use because it has an AMD Ryzen processor with Vega graphics, which provides decent performance, but it is equipped with a lower quality TN screen that may not display colors as vibrantly as an OLED screen, which is important for design work. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is rated good for these tasks, boasting a more powerful Intel i7 processor with Iris Xe graphics and a higher quality OLED touchscreen that offers superior color accuracy and brightness for detailed engineering and design tasks.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Lenovo V15's screen might disappoint due to its lower resolution and brightness, which affects how sharp and vivid the display appears, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers a higher resolution and brighter display for crisp and clear visuals. When it comes to engineering and design, Samsung's screen shines with a wider range of colors, accommodating professional color spaces, but the Lenovo's display lacks in this area, potentially making it less suitable for color-critical work. For gaming and 3D, the Galaxy Book3 360 falls short due to its lower refresh rate, resulting in less smooth motion, while both may offer acceptable resolution and panel quality for moderate gaming and 3D application needs.

How the Lenovo V15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"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."
"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."
