Our Verdict

Surface Pro 11 vs Galaxy Book3 Pro 16"

Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t, 80W PL2) crushes the Snapdragon X Plus (8c/8t, 35W PL2) in multi-core performance and sustained workloads, while the Galaxy Book6 Pro’s Intel Xe3 iGPU outperforms the Adreno X1 in graphics tasks. The Surface Pro 12, fanless and weighing just 1.023 kg, suits mobile professionals needing all-day battery life (up to 14 hours) and tablet flexibility for note-taking or presentations. The Galaxy Book6 Pro, with 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 RAM and 1TB storage, excels for coders running VMs, video editors handling 4K timelines, or multitaskers using heavy IDEs and browsers simultaneously. In UAE at AED 4199 vs AED 4699, Surface Pro 12 is better because it’s 500 AED cheaper and lighter by 0.573 kg; in India at ₹116990 vs ₹118900, Surface Pro 12 wins on value because it offers 16GB RAM and 512GB storage at ₹1910 less despite lower specs.
