The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen than the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s has a better screen for content creation.
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a bright, high-resolution display suitable for viewing documents and browsing, which along with good color reproduction, makes it adept at tasks in engineering and design. However, its lower refresh rate limits the smoothness required for high-end gaming or 3D rendering. In comparison, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s also offers a display that's clear and bright for general productivity and sufficient color accuracy for most design work, but again, gamers and 3D artists may find the refresh rate lacking for their specific needs.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13s and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s are rated fair for gaming and 3D because both use integrated Iris Xe graphics rather than dedicated gaming GPUs and have the same screen refresh rate, which is suitable for everyday use but not optimal for high-end gaming or demanding 3D applications. While both laptops have quality screens and capable CPUs, their GPU and refresh rate limitations mean they will handle games and 3D tasks adequately but not exceptionally.

"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."

"The best thing about the ThinkBook 13S is that it’s a good deal. Business buyers looking for ThinkPad-level performance and software without ThinkPad pricing will probably find the ThinkBook a solid option. While nothing about it is really spectacular, it’s certainly unusual to see the ThinkBook’s screen resolution at a sub-$1,000 price, and its performance will be more than adequate for most office tasks. The generous port selection, 16:10 aspect ratio, physical webcam shutter, and clear audio are certainly icing on the cake."
