Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 13 (M2) vs Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 16"

The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on CPU performance with its 16-core Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (4P+8E+4LP) vs. Apple’s 8-core M2, and its 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 RAM doubles the MacBook’s 16GB, while the M2 is fanless and the Book6 Pro’s 80W PL2 demands active cooling. The MacBook Pro 13 is best for video editors needing 10-hour battery life and seamless Final Cut Pro optimization with its 10-core GPU and unified memory, despite only 16GB RAM. The Galaxy Book6 Pro suits coders and multitaskers running VMs or Docker containers thanks to 32GB RAM, Wi-Fi 7 (BE211), and dual-channel memory, with Windows 11 supporting legacy enterprise apps. In UAE at AED 4899 vs. AED 4999, the Galaxy Book6 Pro is better because of 32GB RAM for heavy workloads; in India at ₹124900 vs. ₹124900, the MacBook Pro wins on value because of 10-hour battery life and macOS efficiency.
