The Razer Book 13, being more expensive, offers solid build quality, a higher resolution display, and a premium business laptop feel, ideal for intensive tasks like engineering with higher performance scores in general use and engineering-related work. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, although typically less expensive, provides an OLED display with superior color coverage and contrast, making it an excellent choice for general use and enjoyment of media content; however, its lower price reflects slightly lower performance in more demanding tasks. The Samsung also excels with a longer battery life and is lighter, enhancing overall portability for everyday use or travel. Both feature similar storage, RAM, and touchscreen capabilities, but the Razer Book's additional ports and RGB keyboard lighting may appeal to users looking for versatility and a gaming aesthetic.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen than the Razer Book 13 for general use, and engineering and design.
For general use, the Razer Book 13 likely offers a high-resolution display with sufficient brightness, making it suitable for everyday tasks, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 may provide an even brighter screen with sharper details. When considering engineering and design work, where accurate color reproduction is crucial, both display strong performance with wide color gamuts, but the Samsung could edge ahead with slightly better coverage of professional color spaces. However, for gaming and 3D applications where fluid motion is key, both laptops fall short due to lower refresh rates, which can result in less smooth visuals during fast-paced scenes.

The Razer Book 13 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Razer Book 13 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both considered fair for gaming and 3D because they are equipped with integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which are not as powerful as dedicated gaming GPUs, and both have standard 60Hz screen refresh rates, which are lower than the higher refresh rates preferred for smooth gaming. The Razer offers a slightly higher quality screen with more brightness while the Samsung has an OLED display, which provides deeper blacks and higher contrast, but both have moderate CPUs and screen quality that are decent but not top-tier for gaming and graphics-intensive tasks.

"The Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."

"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."
