If portability and cost are your main concerns, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is lighter and typically less expensive, with a touchscreen and better battery life, making it well-suited for general use and on-the-go tasks. However, if you require high performance for tasks like engineering applications, 3D rendering, or machine learning, the MSI Stealth GS77 offers a more powerful processor, advanced graphics unit, and a larger screen with a higher refresh rate, albeit at a premium price with a heavier build that reduces portability and shorter battery life. Both laptops have good build quality, but the MSI provides gaming capabilities and better overall performance at the cost of weight and battery duration. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | April 2022
"The MSI Stealth GS77 is better than the GS76... mostly. The GS77 is a few steps forward and a few steps back from the GS76. Improvements are numerous including the stronger and more rigid skeleton, higher resolution webcam, larger clickpad, easier serviceability, relatively similar battery runtimes, newer display options, and higher performance at about the same TDP and TGP levels as before. CPU performance is better than expected even when compared to other laptops with Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The newer model feels more substantial than the outgoing one for higher quality impressions as well."

"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."
