ASUS TUF Gaming A17 vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360
The Verdict
ASUS TUF A17 targets gamers with a 17.3-inch 144Hz display and AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, while Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 prioritizes versatility as a 2-in-1 with a smaller 15.6-inch 120Hz AMOLED touch screen and Intel Core Ultra 7 155H. The ASUS excels at gaming performance and screen real estate for content creation, offering 1TB storage versus Samsung's 512GB. Samsung compensates with superior battery longevity (14 hours vs 8 hours), a brighter AMOLED display (400 nits), aluminum construction, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports for connectivity. The ASUS weighs 5.73 pounds compared to Samsung's lighter 3.64 pounds, making portability a key advantage for the convertible. For gaming and workstation tasks requiring sustained performance, the ASUS delivers better value at $1199. If you need daily commuting flexibility, longer runtime, and a touch-convertible form factor, Samsung's $150 premium justifies the investment. Choose ASUS for gaming-focused use, Samsung for productivity and mobile professionals.
