The Razer Blade 14 (2023) offers high performance, suitable for intensive gaming, engineering tasks, and 3D or machine learning applications. It's more expensive, has a solid build, powerful graphics, and a high-refresh-rate display but is less portable due to its weight. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more affordable, portable, has a touchscreen, and an excellent battery life, making it suitable for general use, on-the-go productivity, and media consumption, but it lags in performance for demanding tasks due to its integrated graphics. Choose Razer for demanding tasks and gaming, or Samsung for portability, touch compatibility, and everyday use. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"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."

"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."
