Our Verdict

Galaxy Book Pro 15.6" vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t) dominates the Intel Core i7-8850H (6c/12t) in raw multi-core throughput and efficiency, while Intel Xe3 iGPU outperforms the aging Radeon Pro 560X in modern graphics tasks. The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro with 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 RAM and 1TB SSD is optimal for video editors handling 4K timelines and coders running Docker containers across 16 threads, with Wi-Fi 7 and 10-hour battery life under light use. The MacBook Pro 15 2018 suits legacy macOS users needing Final Cut Pro 10.4.8 or Xcode 10 on 16GB DDR4, with its 83Wh battery lasting 7.5 hours on web browsing. In UAE at AED 2499 vs AED 1899, the Samsung wins because 32GB RAM and Wi-Fi 7 future-proof productivity; in India at ₹64900 vs ₹48900, the MacBook wins on value because 16GB RAM suffices for macOS workflows and the price gap is 32%.
