Pros and Cons

MSI Vector 16 HX

Strengths

MSI took those high-end specs and put them in a laptop that skips out on some of the things that add to the cost of these laptops. All of the performance with none of the fluff.
The gaming experience overall was fantastic. It's not an OLED panel, so the blacks aren't the blackest, and the brightness isn't maximum as you can get out of some screens. However, who's going to be gaming in direct sunlight?
Overall, I actually do think MSI succeeded with dropping the price for a top-spec gaming device and yet still making it fun and exciting to use.
The keyboard itself is really decent to type on. I really enjoy a chiclet-style keyboard like this one.

Weaknesses

It's very loud when you're gaming, especially when using the laptop standard, which makes it difficult to sneak in a gaming session at work
The laptop gets hot during gaming sessions, although it doesn't get too hot to handle.
The ports come out the back of the laptop, but this may cause cable clutter and take away from the overall aesthetic of the device
It weighs 2.7 kilograms, which is a bit heavy for some users

Samsung Galaxy Book2 360

Strengths

The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 360 features an extremely slender design, exceptional battery life, and display, making it a great choice for a laptop.
The lightweight design (1.22 kg) makes it portable and versatile, perfect for users on the go.
It has a fantastic 13.3 inch full HD screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, providing clear and crisp graphics.
The device features a backlit keyboard, making typing in dim light more pleasant.
The battery life is great, allowing users to work for prolonged amounts of time without needing to locate a power source, with fast charging capabilities enabling full recharge in under 75 minutes.

Weaknesses

The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 360 has a mediocre webcam that only generates average video quality and can lead to poor video conferencing experiences.
Unlike many other devices, the Galaxy Book 2 offers no options to expand its storage space, meaning users will have to rely on external storage solutions once available storage is used up.
The device features mediocre speakers that lack depth and clarity, making them underwhelming for music or video playback.
It's not ideal for very demanding tasks such as editing 4K videos or gaming without slowing down, although it still performs well with SSDs and Intel CPUs.
The starting price of around $899.99 may be considered high by some users, especially considering the lack of expandable storage.
