However, if a slightly larger screen and a higher number of USB-C ports are more important for your use, the MSI would be a better fit. Both laptops have similar performance with their processors and integrated graphics, making either suitable for general use, and neither are ideal for intensive gaming or the highest performance 3D rendering and engineering tasks. The MSI and Samsung both have 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, ensuring ample space and multitasking capabilities for everyday tasks. Give Feedback

"The MSI Prestige 14” is excellent for productivity and business use cases, but it is not ideal for creators or visual content editors. The Prestige was able to power through days of email, spreadsheets, and text documents without breaking a sweat and was a joy to use. The additional ports were a breath of fresh air, as most laptops seem to be moving towards just Thunderbolt ports. The security options made signing in effortless, with two quick, more secure, and faster options than even the most complex alphanumeric passcode."

"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."
