The MSI Titan GT77 is built for high-end performance suitable for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks due to its powerful processor and GPU. It comes with a large screen and high resolution but is much more expensive, has a shorter battery life, and is quite heavy, making it less portable. Conversely, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more budget-friendly, offers a longer battery life, and is lightweight with a touchscreen, making it highly portable and well-suited for general use, but it has less power for demanding tasks. If you need a machine for advanced computing needs and don't mind the cost and lower portability, the MSI is a great choice, while the Samsung is more conducive to everyday productivity on the go.

The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The MSI Titan GT77 offers a top-tier GPU and a high screen refresh rate which are crucial for smooth, high-resolution gaming and 3D rendering, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, with a less powerful GPU and lower refresh rate, is better suited for less demanding tasks. Although the Galaxy Book2 360 can handle some gaming and 3D applications, and possesses a decent CPU and screen quality, it can't match the premium performance that the MSI Titan GT77 delivers in these areas.

The MSI Titan GT77 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The MSI Titan GT77 boasts a high-resolution display with striking brightness and color accuracy, making it exceptional for general use and tasks like engineering and design where precise color representation is crucial. However, its lower refresh rate might not be ideal for gaming and 3D applications, which require smoother motion. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 also offers a sharp and bright screen with good color rendition, suitable for everyday activities and professional design work, but similar to the MSI, it falls short for gaming and 3D content due to its less optimal refresh rate.

"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
"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."
