If you prioritize high-performance tasks like intensive engineering, video editing, or running demanding software, the MSI Prestige 14 could be worth the extra cost, though it may be heavier and have shorter battery life. On the other hand, if you favor a more affordable option with greater portability, longer battery life for everyday use, and the flexibility of a 2-in-1 design, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 might serve you well, especially if your tasks are generally lighter, such as web browsing, office work, or media consumption.

The MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI, though the MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo is somewhat better.
The MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo, with its dedicated GPU, offers smoother gaming and 3D rendering experiences compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which relies on integrated graphics that may not handle demanding tasks as effectively.

The MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for gaming and AI, software development, and content creation, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
For general use, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 outshines the MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo due to its higher resolution and brighter display, resulting in sharper text and more vibrant images, beneficial for everyday tasks like web browsing and video streaming. The Samsung's edge in engineering and design comes from its wider color gamuts, providing better color accuracy which is crucial for professional photo editing and graphic design work. However, for gaming and 3D, both laptops fall short as they lack high refresh rates that ensure smoother motion and better gaming experiences, making them less suitable for fast-paced games or intensive 3D rendering tasks.
