If you prioritize a larger screen and longer battery life, the LG Gram 16 is suitable, with its 16-inch display providing more workspace and reportedly longer time between charges; however, consider that it is slightly heavier and larger, which impacts portability. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers a vivid OLED touchscreen and a convertible design that is more compact and lighter for better portability, but it comes with a smaller 13.3-inch screen and shorter battery life. Both have similar performance capabilities and are in the lower midrange price tier, with the Samsung often being less expensive and having larger storage out of the box. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck

Florian Glaser | January 2023
"The LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."

Cliff Joseph | June 2022
"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."
