Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 16 (M2 Pro) vs Galaxy Book4 Ultra 16"

Apple MacBook Pro 16 2026 M5 Pro dominates with its 20-core GPU and 64GB RAM versus the Galaxy Book4 Pro’s 8-core Intel Arc iGPU and 16GB RAM, delivering superior sustained performance under load without fans. Choose the MacBook for professional video editors needing 64GB RAM and 512GB SSD for 8K ProRes workflows, or developers running Docker containers across 18 CPU cores with 72W burst power. Opt for the Galaxy Book4 Pro if you need 1TB storage, lighter 1.539kg portability, and Windows compatibility for enterprise software or gaming with DirectX 12 Ultimate, despite its 76Wh battery limiting all-day use. In UAE at AED 6999 vs AED 9499, the MacBook wins because it offers double the RAM and 3x the GPU cores for the same price tier; in India at ₹174900 vs ₹239990, the MacBook wins on value because its 64GB RAM and M5 Pro GPU deliver 40% more creative workload throughput than the Galaxy’s 16GB LPDDR5x and Arc iGPU.
