Our Verdict

Surface Laptop 7 13.8" vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 15.6"

Snapdragon X Elite (12c/12t, 3.8 TFLOPS Adreno) outperforms the Intel i7-8850H (6c/12t, 560X GPU) in AI tasks and sustained efficiency, with no fan noise versus the MacBook’s thermal throttling under load. The Surface Laptop 7 is best for mobile professionals needing 13.5 hours of battery life, lightweight 1.34 kg portability, and Wi-Fi 7 for fast cloud workflows. The MacBook Pro 15 2018 suits video editors requiring 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for Final Cut Pro projects, despite its 83Wh battery lasting only 6 hours and 1.83kg weight. In UAE at AED 3849 vs AED 3399, the MacBook wins because it offers double the RAM and double the storage for AED 450 less. In India at ₹113990 vs ₹87900, the MacBook wins on value because 32GB DDR4 and 1TB storage cost ₹26090 less despite older hardware.
