The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and MSI Bravo 15 are both good for general use, though the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is somewhat better.
The MSI Bravo 15, with its dedicated graphics card and higher refresh rate display, may excel for users with gaming or graphics processing needs, but its fair portability, less RAM, and lower battery life make it less desirable for general use compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, which offers better portability, more RAM, and longer battery life, along with a high-quality OLED touchscreen that enhances general productivity and entertainment uses.

The MSI Bravo 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair.
The MSI Bravo 15 offers better gaming and 3D performance thanks to its Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics card and a higher screen refresh rate of 144 Hz, compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360's Intel i7-1360P Iris Xe graphics and lower refresh rate of 60 Hz. While the Galaxy Book3 360 may have its strengths in portability and screen quality with its OLED display, for strenuous tasks like gaming and 3D applications, the MSI's superior GPU and faster screen update frequency enable smoother visuals and a more responsive gaming experience.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the MSI Bravo 15 for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 excels with a high-resolution display and strong brightness, making text and visuals crisp and vibrant for general use and detailed work like engineering and design, where color accuracy covering wider color gamuts is crucial. However, both laptops have screens with lower refresh rates, which is a drawback for gaming and 3D applications where fluid motion is key. The MSI Bravo 15, while having an adequate screen for general tasks, may not deliver the same level of color range and sharpness required for professional design work as the Samsung does.

How the MSI Bravo 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"Overall, the MSI Bravo 15 C7U is a great gaming device for the masses that isn’t too pricey. The capable hardware (for the price range), the 144Hz display, and the comfortable keyboard are one of the things that should attract buyers who don’t want to spend a fortune on a new gaming laptop."
"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."
