If you prioritize a lightweight laptop with a longer battery life for general use or travel, the LG Gram 16 is an ideal choice due to its lower weight and higher battery capacity. However, if you prefer better screen quality with vivid colors for media consumption and a touchscreen for versatility, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 with its OLED display may be more appealing, despite its shorter battery life and slightly higher weight. Both laptops offer similar performance for tasks like 3D rendering or engineering but neither is best-suited for intensive gaming. While the LG Gram is slightly more expensive, the Samsung Galaxy Book offers double the storage capacity. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and LG Gram 16 are both good for general use.
The LG Gram 16 is praised for its combination of top CPU and RAM for smooth performance, a high-resolution IPS screen suitable for a variety of tasks, and remarkable portability due to its lightweight design and long battery life, making it great for general use. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, also with a powerful CPU and ample RAM, offers a convertible OLED touchscreen with good color coverage and portability, while providing less battery life than the LG Gram 16, which may be a consideration for users who require long usage away from power sources.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and LG Gram 16 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The LG Gram 16 and Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 are fair for gaming and 3D because they share integrated graphics rather than more powerful dedicated GPUs, and they both have standard screen refresh rates of 60Hz which is less ideal for gaming that often benefits from higher refresh rates. While both have quality CPUs and screens, the lack of a high-performance GPU and a faster refresh rate mean they won't deliver the optimal experience for high-end gaming or intensive 3D tasks.

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."

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."
