The MSI Stealth 14 Studio offers better performance suitable for intensive tasks like gaming and engineering due to its powerful RTX 4060 graphics card, but it's heavier and larger, which might affect portability. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, being less expensive, has an OLED screen which is great for vibrant colors and it is lighter, slimmer, and doubles as a tablet for versatility. However, it uses integrated graphics, making it less ideal for demanding graphics tasks. Consider your balance between performance for resource-heavy applications and convenience of portability and versatility when choosing between the two. Give Feedback

How the MSI Stealth 14 Studio and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"You'll find a versatility in the MSI Stealth 14 Studio that isn’t matched by many content-creator laptops we've tested of late. The small frame allows you to (potentially) work from anywhere with an outlet and, if noise isn’t a concern, run your most demanding of programs, thanks to some powerful hardware inside. The MSI Stealth 14 Studio is an attractive and powerful option if you want a portable laptop to be the center of your content work setup."
"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."
