Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 14 (M3) vs Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 16"

Apple MacBook Pro 14 M3 Pro wins on CPU/GPU performance with its 11-core M3 Pro (5P+6E) and 14-core GPU versus the Galaxy Book6 Pro’s 16-core Ultra 7 356H and 2500 MHz Intel Xe3 iGPU, and it runs fanless under sustained loads while the Samsung requires active cooling. Choose the MacBook for video editors needing 18GB RAM and 1TB SSD for 4K ProRes editing, or coders benefiting from macOS optimization and 14-hour battery life. Pick the Galaxy Book6 Pro for professionals needing 64GB RAM and 2TB SSD for large datasets, multi-VM workloads, or dual 4K displays via its two DisplayPort outputs. In UAE at AED 7799 vs AED 5799, the Samsung wins because it offers double the RAM and storage for AED 2000 less; in India at ₹194900 vs ₹149900, the Samsung wins on value because 64GB LPDDR5x and 2TB storage cost ₹45000 less despite lower GPU performance.
