ASUS TUF Gaming A17 vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360
The Verdict
ASUS TUF Gaming A17 and Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 serve different purposes despite similar prices. The ASUS excels for gaming and content creation with its 17.3-inch 1920x1080 144Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor, and 1TB storage starting configuration. It's heavier at 5.73 lbs but delivers superior gaming performance with high refresh rates and more expandable storage. Samsung's Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 prioritizes productivity and portability at 3.66 lbs with premium build quality, stunning 16-inch 2880x1800 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED touchscreen, and impressive 15-hour battery life versus ASUS's 8 hours. The Samsung includes Thunderbolt 2 ports and SD card reader, offering more professional connectivity. However, the Samsung starts with only 512GB storage and costs $550 more. Performance-wise, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H matches the Ryzen 7 for everyday tasks, though the ASUS edges ahead in gaming workloads. Choose ASUS if gaming and storage capacity matter; pick Samsung if you want a premium 2-in-1 convertible with exceptional battery life and portability.
