The Mac would be better *except* for those who are not in the Apple ecosystem, or are just accustomed to Windows, or who own Windows software or games, or otherwise need it for work, or... probably most people 😅

I'm not in the Apple / Mac / iOS ecosystem *at all* but as a dedicated Windows and Android user, I have to say that this is completely accurate. Apple silicon is incredible for the core Mac (and iPhone) use cases and crazy power efficient at most of those, but personally all of my use cases are best solved in Windows.
Comparing Mac and Windows devices is a bit like comparing a pencil to a screwdriver... Sure, they're shaped similarly, and you'd be tempted to use either one to bury in the neck of an occasional @$$clown in the comments section, but otherwise there's very little point in comparing the two.
Important difference: Samsung model is 2-in-1. So with included pen, you can fold it flat for note taking like a tablet. Does a decent job. If you value that for a laptop which you will keep for 4 years, I will choose Samsung.
Summary --> 2-in-1, i7 (vs i5), OLED screen, S-pen for note taking. =$450. I would lean on Samsung but your use case may differ.
Gaming capability is primarily a question of the GPU (graphics card). Intel and especially AMD are slowly getting closer to changing that fact, but at least for several generations to come, focus predominately on the dedicated GPU to determine how good a laptop is for gaming.
This doesn't have a dedicated GPU, ergo, not a gaming device.
The question of what games you want to run (latest AAA titles vs. older/simpler games) and what frame rates you need (120-240+ for competitive gaming vs. ~60 for some single player picks) would drive what GPU (and screen, and also CPU) you would need. Lots of gaming hardware reviews you can check depending on your use case, but Hardware Unboxed on YT (and Tech Spot where their written reviews post) as well as Tom's Hardware are easy to recommend.
Another reviewer noted that laptops generally suck for gaming... Typically that's accurate, but if you want a laptop to be a good capable gaming machine. find something with a good current-gen dedicated Nvidia (RTX 3080, 3070, 3060 TI etc) or AMD (6800XT, 6700 etc) GPU - if you can afford it. Again it's all about your use case. (Don't bother with an MX450/550 or GTX 1550, unless you need bare-bones entry level gaming capability.)
After defending @contractcooker in an earlier reply, I'll respectfully disagree on this point - Even if you get better hardware, longer life, and a smoother experience with a Mac, and even if the cost were equivalent (which it typically isn't), it doesn't mean that a Mac is a better option for "most people."
The Mac would be better *except* for those who are not in the Apple ecosystem, or are just accustomed to Windows, or who own Windows software or games, or otherwise need it for work, or... probably most people 😅

That being said, LG Grams are very competent productivity oriented Windows laptops while being at the cutting edge of weight reduction. This is incredibly important to anyone who regularly has to carry their laptops. It's also built fairly robust to "mil spec" standards and has respectable battery life. OTOH, it is not good for multimedia creation or gaming. There are "better" laptops with much higher specs, but not at this weight.
For those in the Apple ecosystem, you should probably stick with a Macbook of some sort. But there is no equivalent sized Macbook at this diminutive weight, the closest being the Macbook Air but it has a much smaller screen.
I am assuming you are familiar with both Windows and MacOS, otherwise you're comparing apples to oranges.

I bought the 11th gen version of this laptop, then got a 16" version for work.
I recently bought a 1.8k MacBook pro for my sister and, as nice as it was, the mbp is heavy compared to my LG grams.
I can pickup my LG gram laptops using 1 hand. It's a joy to use them around the house. The mbp isn't particularly super heavy (only 3.5lbs),but feels like a brick compared to my LG grams.
I do a fair amount of traveling and the difference in weight is huge.
I prioritize portability and have been using 13 and 14 inch laptops for a while, that is until I have to do work more often on them. That's when even a 14" screen is too small/restrictive. My 16" (not much bigger than the 15" here) is amazing. I bought an external LG screen because it matches 1:1 with the 16" so I can have dual screen setup. I don't even touch my work desktop anymore.
One con: I hate the chiclet keyboard on the gram. The previous gen is slightly better as it's matte, but the latest gen's 16" keyboard is smooth. It leads to plenty of typing errors in real work situations.
This was evident when I typed on the MBP's slightly concaved keyboard. That hint is amazing. I wish all laptops have that keyboard.
For casual use, I don't think this is a problem, but people doing actual work on the gram should test it out in store.
