For more intensive tasks like engineering or gaming, the Razer Blade 15 with its high-performance processor and dedicated graphics card offers better capabilities but is heavier and has a shorter battery life. Conversely, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, being lighter and with a longer battery life, is more suitable for general use and portability, and its OLED touchscreen display offers vibrant colors, but its integrated graphics and processor are less suited for high-demand applications. If portability and battery life are key factors for you, the Galaxy Book2 360 is preferable, however, if you need stronger performance for demanding software or gaming, the Razer Blade 15 is the better option.

The Razer Blade 15 is very good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The Razer Blade 15 is favored for gaming and 3D applications due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU that excels in graphic-intensive tasks and a high screen refresh rate suited for smooth visuals, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360's more modest Iris Xe graphics and standard screen refresh rate make it less optimal for these demands despite its high-quality OLED display.

How the Razer Blade 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
"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."
