The Razer Blade 14 offers top-tier performance suitable for gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering, with high refresh rate display and dedicated graphics, but at a premium price and with reduced portability due to its weight. Conversely, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is more affordable and has better battery life, featuring a touchscreen and an OLED panel with vibrant colors, ideal for general use and media consumption; however, its performance for graphics-intensive tasks won’t match the Razer's due to integrated graphics. Choose the Razer Blade 14 for performance-heavy tasks, or the Samsung for a balance of portability, battery life, and price, with a focus on everyday tasks. Give Feedback

The Razer Blade 14 is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair.
The Razer Blade 14 excels in gaming and 3D with its powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card and a high screen refresh rate of 165Hz, which allows for smoother visuals during fast action scenes. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, while boasting an OLED screen for vibrant display quality, falls short for those tasks due to its less powerful Intel Iris Xe graphics and a standard refresh rate of 60Hz, which may not deliver as seamless an experience in gaming and 3D applications.

How the Razer Blade 14 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
"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."
