If budget is your main concern, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" offers basic functionality at a lower cost, ideal for simple tasks such as web browsing and document editing. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while more expensive, provides better performance suitable for more demanding applications, a higher quality display, and versatile form factors like tablet mode due to its 360-degree hinge. If you often use intensive software or value a high-resolution touchscreen for activities like note-taking or drawing, the Samsung may justify the higher expense. Conversely, for regular tasks and maximum savings, the Packard Bell could suffice. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Packard Bell Cloudbook's screen may lack the sharpness and vibrancy due to lower resolution and brightness, which is less suitable for activities that require visual detail like general browsing or document editing. For engineering and design, accurate color reproduction is crucial, and the Cloudbook's screen might not cover the wider color gamuts needed for those tasks, making the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 with its better color range a superior choice. However, for gaming and 3D applications where fast-paced visuals are prevalent, the Samsung's lower refresh rate could hinder smoothness and responsiveness, despite its higher resolution and better color depiction compared to the Cloudbook.

"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."
