Our Verdict

Surface Pro 11 vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 15.6"

The Snapdragon X Plus (8c/8t, 3.4 GHz) outperforms the Intel Core i7-8850H (6c/12t, 4.3 GHz boost) in sustained efficiency, while the Adreno X1 GPU (1.7 TFLOPS) lags behind the Radeon Pro 560X (4GB GDDR5), making the Surface Pro fanless and cooler under load. Buy the Surface Pro 12 if you need a 2.26-pound tablet-laptop with 10+ hours of battery for mobile note-taking, light photo editing, or Windows app compatibility in UAE/India. Choose the MacBook Pro 15 2018 if you need 32GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD for Final Cut Pro editing, virtual machines, or legacy macOS software requiring Intel chips. In UAE at AED 4199 vs AED 3399, the MacBook Pro wins on value because it offers double the storage and 16GB more RAM for AED 800 less; in India at ₹116990 vs ₹87900, the MacBook Pro wins on value because 32GB RAM and 1TB storage justify the ₹29090 price gap for professional workflows.
