The MSI Prestige 15 offers more power for engineering and 3D/machine learning tasks due to its dedicated graphics card and is a premium business laptop with a larger screen size which comes with added weight. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is lighter and has a better portability score with a smaller, high-contrast OLED touchscreen display, making it suitable for general use and on-the-go activities. It also tends to have a slightly longer battery life. If you require higher performance for engineering or graphics work, the MSI may suit you better; if portability and battery life are priorities, consider the Samsung. Give Feedback

Mario Petzold | December 2022
"The MSI Prestige 15 offers a dazzling 4K image quality, and solid performance. The MSI Prestige 15 appears to consistently implement the guiding principle of throttling the solid and efficient hardware to such an extent that content creation succeeds perfectly. Performance-hungry tasks, on the other hand, are slowed down a little by the reduced power consumption. Conversely, this means that the case remains relatively cool and the dual fan subdued. The battery life also benefits somewhat. So the losses aren't really dramatic because full performance is still available for short bursts."

Cliff Joseph | June 2022
"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."
