If you prioritize a laptop with high battery life and a vivid display for media consumption or artistic work, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, with its OLED touchscreen, would be a better choice, and it tends to be a bit more affordable. On the other hand, if your work involves more graphic-intensive tasks like video editing or light gaming, the MSI Prestige 15 comes with a dedicated graphics card that provides better performance for these applications, though it typically comes at a higher price and does not offer as long battery life as the Samsung. The MSI has a slightly greater weight which could affect its portability compared to the lighter Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. Give Feedback

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