The MSI Stealth GS77 offers high-end performance and is well-suited for intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming thanks to its powerful processor and GPU. However, this comes with a premium price, larger size, and heavier weight, making it less portable, and it has shorter battery life. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is more affordable and much more portable, with longer battery life and a touchscreen OLED display with vibrant colors, ideal for general use and on-the-go tasks. Its performance is suitable for everyday activities, though it may not handle intensive tasks as proficiently as the MSI. Give Feedback

The MSI Stealth GS77 is very good for general use, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good.
The MSI Stealth GS77 is highly rated for general use due to its powerful CPU and ample RAM, which handle a wide variety of tasks efficiently, along with a high-quality screen; however, it's heavier and bulkier, making it less portable. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, while also providing a good general use experience with solid performance and a high-quality screen, offers greater portability and the versatility of a 2-in-1 design but may not be as suitable for the most intensive tasks due to lower specs in comparison.

How the MSI Stealth GS77 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"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."
"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."
