The MSI Cyborg 15 offers more powerful graphics and is suitable for gaming and more intensive engineering tasks, but it's heavier and less portable than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360. Conversely, the Galaxy Book2 360 is highly portable, has a superior OLED touchscreen display, double the RAM, and longer battery life, making it better for general use, mobility, and media consumption. Both laptops are similarly priced and powerful enough for general use, but your decision should hinge on whether you prioritize gaming and power or portability and display quality. Give Feedback

Sascha Mölck | April 2023
"The focus of the MSI Cyborg 15 lies on a compromise of performance, mobility, and power consumption. Due to the reduced performance settings, the CPU and GPU perform below their capabilities. Nonetheless, their computing power is still sufficient for FHD gaming at high to maximum settings even then. The power consumption, which is low for a gaming laptop, can be translated into a good battery life. Realistic values of 7 to 8 h are still possible, despite the relatively small battery capacity of 53.5 Wh. Unfortunately the USB-C port doesn't offer any support for Power Delivery, which would be a sensible feature in the case of the Cyborg."

"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."
