For a balance of performance and portability with a versatile 2-in-1 design, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is a strong choice, offering a responsive Intel i7 processor and a vibrant OLED touchscreen, though it has a lower resolution display and less battery life compared to the Galaxy Book4 Edge 16. On the other hand, the Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 provides a larger, higher resolution screen with superior color accuracy and longer battery life, which is ideal for more visually demanding tasks and extended use on the go. It also features a more modern design with slimmer bezels. However, it's priced higher and the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor may not match the raw performance of the Intel i7 in the Book3 360 for certain intensive applications. Consider the Book3 360 for its robust performance in a compact form factor, or opt for the Book4 Edge 16 if you prioritize screen quality and battery endurance for creative or professional work.

How the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 compare to other laptops
"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."
