Design
We should remember that both of these laptops provide tablet-style flexible hinge supports, making them excellent two-in-one laptops.
HP Specter X360 has its own unique identity in terms of aesthetics compared to the latest Galaxy 3 Pro 360. Compared to other traditional laptops, this one comes with a gem-cut design where all the corners have slight edge and look visually pleasing. HP is not as thin as the Galaxy Book 3 Pro, it does have comparatively less weight at only 3 pounds.
The new Galaxy Book 3 Pro follows the same design as its predecessor, the Galaxy Book 2 Pro. The Galaxy Book 3 Pro 16 inch laptop is comparatively thicker and weighs more than its predecessor which is 12.8 millimeters thin and 3.76 pounds of weight. It is available in two different colors Beige and Graphite.
Display
When it comes to the display, the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 has a Dynamic AMOLED screen with a 120hz refresh rate and a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is another big change, in addition to the processor, that Samsung made to their latest Galaxy Book 3 Pro line.
The HP Specter X360 has an OLED screen with a resolution of 3000 by 2000, a refresh rate of 60 Hz, 400 nits of brightness, and a 100 sRGB colour gamut. This isn’t as impressive as the screen on the Book 3 Pro. Samsung’s Dynamic Outlet display is HDR 10+ certified, which means it has more vivid colors and better brightness levels than regular OLED displays. In this case, it is expected that the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 will have a better visual experience.
Performance
The biggest and most obvious difference is the processor. The Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 has a 13th-generation core i7 processor, while the Specter X360 has a 12th-generation core i7 processor. This means that the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 is much faster, with a maximum frequency rate of 5 gigahertz. In addition, it has up to 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and 1 TB of SSD storage, which is great.
On the other hand, the Specter X360 has up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage that can be customised to hold up to 2 terabytes of data, so it’s pretty clear that the new Galaxy Book 3 Pro has better internal hardware.
Connectivity
On the left side of the HP Specter X360, you’ll find a USB A port and an audio jack in the corner. The other side has a Micro SD card slot and two Thunderbolt 4 ports.
Galaxy Book 3 Pro now has two Thunderbolt 4 ports instead of one, so you can plug in more accessories. It also has an HDMI port, a Micro SD card slot A type a, and a 3.5 millimetre audio combo Jack, which many laptops don’t have.
HP Specter X360 on the left has a USB a port and an audio jack in the corner, while the other side has a Micro SD card slot and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Both devices look great, but we prefer the Galaxy Book 3’s clean and slim design.
Battery Life
Although both laptops claim to have a backup battery life of up to 19 hours, it actually depends on what type of user you are.
Price
The starting price for the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro is $1,399, while the OLED panel on the HP Specter X360 costs only $1,259. In the end, both of them are great two-in-one laptops because they have tablet-style flexible hinges. If you pay more for the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360, you get the latest, most powerful processor and a relatively large screen.
On the other hand, the Specter X360 saves you money and gives you one of the best two-in-one laptops on the market, with good specs and an OLED screen that’s awesome for doing heavy, demanding tasks.
