Our Verdict

Galaxy Book Pro 15.6" vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t) outperforms the i7-8850H (6c/12t) in multi-threaded workloads, and the Intel Xe3 iGPU supports Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 4, while the MacBook’s Radeon Pro 560X lacks modern driver support. The Galaxy Book6 Pro’s 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and 78Wh battery deliver 10+ hours of video playback for coders and multitaskers running VMs or Docker containers. The MacBook Pro 2018’s 16GB DDR4 and 83Wh battery suit legacy macOS users needing Final Cut Pro 10.4.7 or Xcode 10, but its 2018 Wi-Fi 5 and single-channel RAM limit modern workflows. In UAE at AED 2099 vs AED 1899, the MacBook wins on price because it’s ₹4000 cheaper despite lower specs; in India at ₹52900 vs ₹48900, the Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on value because its 32GB RAM and Wi-Fi 7 future-proof it for 5+ years.
