The MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo offers higher storage capacity, more memory, and better processing power suitable for intensive tasks such as engineering, 3D work, or gaming. It has a high-resolution OLED screen and its build is more suited for demanding software applications. However, it's heavier and less portable than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, which also features an OLED display but at a lower resolution. The Galaxy Book2 360 is a 2-in-1 convertible, lighter, and more versatile for general use and on-the-go productivity, but with less capacity and power for high-demand tasks. Making a choice largely depends on whether your priority is raw performance and capacity or portability and flexibility. Give Feedback

Mark Anthony Ramirez | December 2023
"The MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo is meant to be a business-focused laptop, but it ends up being the MacBook challenger PC laptop enthusiasts have longed for. Not only can it meet and, in many cases, surpass the M2-powered MacBooks, but it is also surpassing the baseline M3 MacBooks, which is a giant leap forward for Intel-powered laptops. This isn’t hyperbole; this is what the numbers show."

"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."
