Our Verdict

Galaxy Book Pro 15.6" vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t) outperforms Intel Core i7-8850H (6c/12t) in multi-core tasks, while Intel Xe3 iGPU surpasses AMD Radeon Pro 560X in modern graphics workloads; the Galaxy Book6 Pro is fanless under 30W sustained load, unlike the MacBook’s active cooling. Choose the Galaxy Book6 Pro if you need 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and Wi-Fi 7 for 4K video editing or running 10+ browser tabs with AI tools; its 78Wh battery lasts ~10 hours on light tasks. Pick the MacBook Pro 2018 only if you rely on legacy macOS apps like Final Cut Pro X 10.4.8 or need Thunderbolt 3 for older peripherals, despite its 16GB DDR4 limit and outdated macOS 10.13. In UAE at AED 2499 vs AED 2299, the MacBook wins on price by AED 200 because its Thunderbolt 3 ports still support Pro Display XDR; in India at ₹64900 vs ₹59900, the Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on value because 32GB RAM and Wi-Fi 7 future-proof it for 5+ years.
