Pros and Cons

Samsung Galaxy Book4 360

Strengths

The display is a beast of a 16-in AMOLED touch display with an S Pen that makes this experience more immersive than both my M4 iPad Pro and 16-in MacBook Pro.
It has one of the best displays I've seen on a device so far, with a marginally better color and contrast compared to my M4 13in iPad Pro.
The screen folds past 180° making the keyboard and a sharing foundation for what has transformed now into a tablet when folding the screen pauses for a moment and then hides the bottom taskbar.
It offers a full windows experience with one of the best 16-in ml screens in the market without compromising the OS.
The ergonomics are great, with the bulk of the weight on your lap so it stays planted on your lab, and the screen is brought a few inches closer to you than what you would get on the magic keyboard.

Weaknesses

It's still pretty bad especially coming from a Macbook, especially when trying to use gestures or scroll through documents.
The i7 Ultra runs really hot which means the fan runs often and Loud, making it uncomfortable to use in daily tasks.
The battery life is subpar compared to my 16-in MacBook Pro and probably similar to my M4 iPad Pro.
The speakers are embarrassing, even when comparing them to other laptops.
It has a few flaws, including heating performance issues and the touchpad being uncomfortable to use.

MSI Vector 16 HX AI

Strengths

The new MSI Vector 16 HX AI offers excellent performance, thanks to its i9 processor.
The laptop's RAM and SSD packages are very good, making it ideal for gaming.
Despite being a budget-friendly option, the Vector still delivers great performance.
The keyboard is decent to type on, with a chiclet style that's comfortable to use.
The webcam is decent, with 30fps 1080p resolution and a feature to close off the camera.
The display is good, with a 16in 240 Hz QHD plus IPS panel that's perfect for gaming.
The Vector's design language is interesting, with copper-colored accents and a sleek look.
The laptop's cooling system may be old-school, but it gets the job done and doesn't overheat.

Weaknesses

The laptop can get very loud when gaming, making it hard to sneak in a session at work.
Most of the heat is sent out the back of the laptop, which can make it uncomfortable to hold during extended use.
There's no fancy slim vapor chamber cooling system, just a traditional blow-on-it method.
The Vector can get hot when gaming, but this doesn't seem to affect its performance much.
The speakers are not bad, but they're not great either - audio quality is not the laptop's strong suit.
There's no optical drive or SD card slot on this model, which might be a drawback for some users.
The Vector weighs 2.7 kilograms, making it not the lightest gaming laptop on the market.
The charger pushes out 330 W, which is higher than usual but still manageable.

Samsung Galaxy Book4 360

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 offers an all-in-one experience that's hard to resist. With its stunning 16-inch AMOLED display and S Pen capabilities, this device shines in everyday tasks like browsing, learning, and watching YouTube. While it may struggle with demanding activities like video editing, its portability and immersive touchscreen make it a great companion for casual users. However, heat issues and a subpar touchpad have held it back, making it a harder sell at full price.

MSI Vector 16 HX AI

The MSI Vector 16 HX AI is an intriguing addition to the gaming laptop market, aiming to deliver top-shelf performance without the hefty price tag. With specs that rival its high-end counterparts, this device boasts an i9 processor, ample RAM and SSD storage, and a QHD+ display. But at what cost? I put this laptop through its paces for three weeks to see if MSI has truly succeeded in offering a premium gaming experience on a budget.
