Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (M2) vs Galaxy Book Pro 360 15.6"

The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on CPU performance with its Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t, 80 W PL2) versus the MacBook Pro’s M2 (8c/8t, 20 W PL2), and its 32 GB LPDDR5x-8533 RAM outpaces the M2’s 16 GB LPDDR5-6400. The MacBook Pro is best for video editors needing 10-hour battery life and seamless Final Cut Pro optimization, despite its 256 GB storage limit and fanless thermal throttling under sustained loads. The Galaxy Book6 Pro suits coders and multitaskers running VMs or Docker containers, thanks to 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and Wi-Fi 7 for low-latency cloud workflows, though its 1.6 kg weight and 10-hour battery fall short of Apple’s efficiency. In UAE at AED 2499 vs AED 2999, the Galaxy Book6 Pro is better because it offers double the RAM and four times the storage for AED 500 less. In India at ₹62900 vs ₹74900, the Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on value because 32 GB RAM and 1 TB storage justify the ₹12000 price gap.
