Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 14 (M3) vs Galaxy Book4 Ultra 16"

Apple MacBook Pro 14 2023 M3 Pro wins on CPU performance with its 11-core M3 Pro (5P+6E) versus the Galaxy Book4 Pro’s 16-core Ultra 7 155H, but the M3 Pro’s 14-core GPU outperforms Intel Arc 8-core iGPU in sustained workloads without a fan. Choose the MacBook Pro if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro — its 36GB RAM and 1TB SSD handle multi-track timelines smoothly, and its 10–12 hour battery lasts longer than the Book4 Pro’s 7–8 hours. Pick the Galaxy Book4 Pro if you need Windows 11, dual DisplayPort outputs for triple monitors, or microSD card access for photographers using SD cards via adapter. In UAE at AED 7799 vs AED 9499, the MacBook Pro is better because it delivers superior GPU performance and 8GB more RAM at 18% lower price. In India at ₹194900 vs ₹239990, the MacBook Pro wins on value because it offers 36GB RAM and a fanless design for the same storage at ₹45,090 less.
