Our Verdict

Galaxy Book Pro 15.6" vs Galaxy Book2 360 15.6"

Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t) outperforms Intel Core i7-8850H (6c/12t) in multi-core tasks, and the Intel Xe3 iGPU supports Wi-Fi 7 and modern display outputs, while the MacBook’s Radeon Pro 560X (4GB GDDR5) lacks driver updates for new software. Buy the Galaxy Book6 Pro if you need 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB SSD for 4K video editing or running 20+ browser tabs with Docker containers, plus 12+ hours of real-world battery life from its 78Wh cell. Buy 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 soldered RAM and thermal throttling under sustained loads. In UAE at AED 2499 vs AED 2499, the Galaxy Book6 Pro is better because it has double the RAM and triple the storage with modern connectivity; in India at ₹64900 vs ₹64900, the Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on value because it delivers a 2024 processor and Wi-Fi 7 for the same price as a 2018 thermal-limited machine.
