Pros and Cons

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.

MSI Pulse 15

Strengths

The MSR pulse 15 is a more entry level notebook from the gaming brand which aims to deliver Artic 4060 gaming without breaking the bank... it's not the aim of this notebook, it is meant to be a portable 1080p piece of hardware and it definitely succeeds
The 1080p model is definitely the budget option and for those who want a 360 HZ panel perhaps a more competitive gamer the MSR pulse 15b 13v comes in a simple brown box which includes the notebook and the 240 W power adapter
The display takes up a good amount of real estate on the top lid and the keyboard features a four Zone backlighting and also comes with a number pad... the WD keys are also translucent for that whole gaming feel
The MSR pulse 15 definitely comes with everything you need to play games while it won't play them at the highest possible settings and resolution... image quality was also great and the colors were vibrant
The performance benchmarks, I then played some games and ran some tests across a number of titles when it came to Thermal testing the MSR pulse 15 held up as well as you would expect
