If you need high performance for tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning, the MSI Vector GP76 offers a more powerful processor and dedicated high-end graphics, but its larger size and weight reduce portability, along with a shorter battery life. In contrast, if you value portability, longer battery life, and a touchscreen with a high-quality display for general use and multitasking, despite having less storage and lower performance, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 could be a more suitable option, especially if you're looking for something more budget-friendly.

The MSI Vector GP76 is very good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The MSI Vector GP76 is better suited for gaming and 3D applications due to its high-performance Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card and a higher screen refresh rate of 360 frames per second, offering smoother visuals and better handling of graphic-intensive tasks. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, with its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and a standard refresh rate of 60 frames per second, provides an adequate experience for less demanding gaming and 3D content but falls short in comparison for high-end performance.

The MSI Vector GP76 is very good for engineering and design, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is good.
The MSI Vector GP76 is outfitted with a powerful CPU, significant RAM, and a high-end dedicated GPU, making it well-suited for demanding engineering and design tasks, although its larger size and weight affect portability. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers a balance with a capable CPU and integrated graphics, high-quality OLED screen, and impressive portability due to its smaller size and 2-in-1 convertible design, but its performance may not match the MSI for the most intensive tasks.

The MSI Vector GP76 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for gaming and AI, and content creation, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
The MSI Vector GP76 has a screen with a resolution and panel type that provides clarity and detail for general tasks, and its color coverage is suitable for engineering and design work, but lacks the high refresh rate needed for smooth 3D rendering and gaming.

Marvin Gollor | May 2022
"The MSI Vector GP76 12UGS is a gaming laptop on speed. The advantages are clear: The Vector GP76 is a real gamer with its 360 Hz display and super-fast response times. In addition, the Core i7-12700H has double the power of the CPU in its predecessor and another highlight is the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a real power consumption of 150 watts. This places the device in the top range of our database. The Vector can also operate rather quietly, offers a full sound range, improved battery runtimes, a key-configurable RGB keyboard, a very stable chassis and good upgrade options. Moreover, the display produces a nice, rich and clear picture."

"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."
