ASUS VivoBook 15 (2023) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360

The Verdict

These laptops serve fundamentally different needs and budgets. The ASUS VivoBook 15 targets budget-conscious students and casual users with a competent 13th Gen Intel Core i5-1335U, 8GB RAM, and 512GB storage in a lightweight 1.7kg plastic chassis. Its 15.6-inch 1080p IPS display with 300 nits brightness is adequate for everyday tasks, and the 8-hour battery life covers a typical workday. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 operates in a premium segment with a significantly faster Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, double the RAM at 16GB LPDDR5X, and a 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display pushing 2880 x 1800 resolution at 120Hz with 400 nits brightness. The 2.5kg weight difference and slimmer 12.8mm profile come from its aluminum construction, while the 76Wh battery delivers near double the runtime at 15 hours. Samsung includes superior connectivity with two Thunderbolt 4 ports versus one USB-C, plus SD card support. For creative professionals, video editors, or anyone needing sustained performance, the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 justifies its $1250 premium with superior hardware across every dimension. The ASUS excels as a value proposition for basic productivity, browsing, and everyday computing without demanding performance intensive tasks.
