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+ hours of battery life on 4K editing, thanks to its fanless design and 58.2 Wh battery sustaining 13.5 W TDP without throttling. The Galaxy Book6 Pro suits coders and multitaskers running VMs or Docker containers, leveraging its 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, and Wi-Fi 7 for fast cloud syncs, despite its 78 Wh battery yielding ~8 hours under load. In UAE at AED 2999 vs AED 2999, the MacBook Pro is better because it runs cooler without a fan. In India at ₹74900 vs ₹75900, the Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on value because it doubles storage and RAM for just ₹1000 more.
