The Razer Blade 17 offers high performance suitable for intensive gaming, engineering applications, and 3D or machine learning tasks with a larger, high-resolution screen, but it's heavier, has a shorter battery life, and is more expensive. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is more portable, has a longer battery life, and is less expensive with a smaller, high-quality OLED screen that's suitable for general use and touch-enabled tasks. If maximum performance and screen size are priorities, and cost is less of a concern, the Razer Blade 17 is the better choice. For everyday use, value, and portability, the Galaxy Book2 360 is more appropriate. Give Feedback

Sascha Mölck | July 2022
"Our test configuration of the Blade 17 targets gamers and creative professionals. A Core i9-12900H processor, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU (175 watts TGP after the BIOS update, 16 GB of VRAM), and 32 GB of working memory equip the laptop for video processing, rending, and 4k gaming at the highest level. In addition, a fast PCIe-4 SSD (1 TB) ensures short load and storage times. With the Blade 17 (Early 2022), Razer delivers a successful and powerful work device for creative professionals. But this also has its price."

"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."
