Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 14 (M3 Max) vs MateBook X Pro (2024)

The Apple MacBook Pro 14 with M3 Max’s 40-core GPU outperforms the MateBook X Pro’s Intel Arc 8-core iGPU in sustained GPU workloads, while its 64GB RAM and 41W sustained power draw enable stable thermal performance without fans. Professionals editing 8K video or running virtual machines should choose the MacBook Pro for its 64GB RAM, 56W PL2 bursts, and macOS optimization for Final Cut Pro and Xcode. Users needing 2TB storage, lighter weight (980g), and Windows compatibility for CAD or enterprise apps should pick the MateBook X Pro, benefiting from its 32GB LPDDR5x and 80W PL2 Intel Core Ultra 9. In UAE at AED 10999 vs AED 7999, the MateBook wins because it offers double the storage and 30% less weight for AED 3000 less; in India at ₹269900 vs ₹189990, the MateBook wins on value because it delivers 4x storage and 15% lighter build for ₹80k less.
