MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Pro) vs MateBook X Pro (2024)

The Apple MacBook Pro 16 with M3 Pro’s 18-core GPU outperforms the MateBook X Pro’s Intel Arc 8-core iGPU in sustained GPU workloads, while its 27W sustained TDP ensures stable performance without fans, unlike the 45W PL1 Intel Core Ultra 9’s thermal throttling risk. Choose the MacBook Pro if you edit 8K video with Final Cut Pro — its 36GB RAM and 1TB SSD handle large timelines without swapping, and its 21-hour battery lasts longer than the MateBook’s 10-hour estimate. Pick the MateBook X Pro if you run Windows-only AI tools or multitask with 64GB RAM and 2TB storage for massive local datasets, benefiting from its 980g weight and compact 13.5cm height. In UAE at AED 10999 vs AED 7999, the MateBook wins on value because it offers double the RAM and storage for AED 3000 less; in India at ₹274900 vs ₹189990, the MateBook wins on value because it delivers 32GB more RAM and 1TB more storage for ₹85k less.
