The Razer Book 13 is more expensive and offers a smaller, but higher-resolution screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, providing crisper images at the expense of size. It's less portable than the Galaxy Book3 360 but has a higher build quality and better heat management. Both feature touchscreens, equivalent storage, RAM, and integrated graphics suitable for general use; however, the Razer has slightly better general use and engineering performance. For those prioritizing battery life and an OLED display which offers deeper blacks and more vibrant colors, along with a larger yet thinner screen, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is a more affordable option that's easy to carry.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and Razer Book 13 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Razer Book 13 and Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 are both fair for gaming and 3D applications primarily because they feature similar integrated GPUs which are not as powerful as dedicated gaming GPUs and have standard screen refresh rates that are not ideal for high-end gaming. While both have capable CPUs and high-quality displays, with the Galaxy Book3 offering an OLED screen for richer colors, these factors are only somewhat important compared to the very important roles that GPU and refresh rate play in gaming performance.

Allen Ngo | December 2020
"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."

Trusted Reviews
Adam Speight | July 2023
"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."
