If you're looking for an affordable option for basic tasks like browsing and document editing, the Packard Bell Cloudbook could be a suitable choice, but its lower price often means less power and slower performance. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is generally pricier but offers more robust performance for demanding applications, a higher quality display, better battery life, and added features such as a 360-degree hinge for versatility. If you need a laptop that can handle more intensive tasks like photo editing, or if you appreciate a premium build and versatility, investing in the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 would be justified.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good for general use, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" falls short in general use due to its modest CPU, limited RAM, and lower-quality screen, which hinders multitasking and clear visual output, plus its battery life underperforms when compared to better alternatives. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers robust performance with a high-end CPU, ample RAM, and an OLED screen for vibrant visuals, on top of having greater battery longevity and versatile form factor, making it a favorable option for a variety of general use cases.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 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 has a lower-resolution display that isn't very bright, compromising visual experience in all applications, while its limited color range detracts from tasks that require color accuracy, such as engineering and design. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers a higher resolution and brighter screen which enhances visibility and sharpness for general use and professional design work, alongside a wider color gamut for more precise color representation. However, for gaming and 3D work, the Galaxy Book3 360’s lower refresh rate may not provide as smooth an experience as screens optimized for these tasks that typically have higher refresh rates.

Trusted Reviews
Adam Speight | July 2023
"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."
