The MSI Cyborg 15 has a dedicated Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU which is ideal for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks. Its battery life is shorter, and it's heavier, making it less portable than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. Conversely, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers better battery life and is lighter for enhanced portability. It also has an OLED touchscreen display which is sharp and bright with better color accuracy, benefiting general use and watching multimedia. However, its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics may not be as well-suited for demanding graphics tasks as the MSI Cyborg 15. Choose the MSI for performance-intensive applications or the Samsung for better portability and everyday use. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the MSI Cyborg 15 for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
When evaluating laptops, consider that the MSI Cyborg 15 offers a balance for everyday tasks with its fair resolution and brightness, but for detailed engineering work, its color accuracy may not be up to par, and its slower refresh rate could hinder the immersive experience in fast-paced gaming or 3D rendering. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, with its high-quality display, shines in delivering vivid colors and sharp images for general use and precision tasks like engineering and design, though its lower refresh rate may disappoint gamers and those working with rapid-motion 3D graphics. In both cases, the mismatch between the high demands of gaming and 3D applications and these laptops' screen capabilities will be evident, as these tasks benefit from the higher refresh rates and resolutions typically offered by more specialized gaming or professional laptops.

How the MSI Cyborg 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"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."
"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."
