Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 16 (M1 Pro) vs Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 16"

Apple MacBook Pro 16 2021 M1 Max wins on GPU performance with its 32-core GPU versus the Galaxy Book6 Pro’s Intel Xe3 iGPU, and its 64GB RAM outpaces the 32GB LPDDR5x, enabling sustained 8K video rendering without thermal throttling, while the Samsung’s 80W PL2 demands active cooling. Buy the MacBook Pro if you edit 4K/8K footage in Final Cut Pro or run Xcode with 20+ virtual machines — the 64GB RAM and 512GB SSD handle large project files natively. Choose the Galaxy Book6 Pro if you need Wi-Fi 7 (BE211), 1TB storage, and lighter portability at 1.596kg for multitasking across Windows apps and cloud workflows. In UAE at AED 5499 vs AED 4899, the Samsung wins because it offers double the storage and Wi-Fi 7 for just AED 600 more; in India at ₹134900 vs ₹124900, the Samsung wins on value because 1TB storage and 32GB RAM deliver more usable capacity for the same price premium.
