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-threaded workloads, and the integrated Xe3 iGPU surpasses the aging Radeon Pro 560X in modern graphics tasks. The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro, with 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and Wi-Fi 7, excels for coders running multiple VMs and video editors needing fast storage access and future-proof connectivity. The MacBook Pro 15 2018 suits legacy macOS users requiring 1TB SSD storage and Thunderbolt 3 ports for external ProRes workflows, despite its 16GB DDR4 limit and no OS updates beyond High Sierra. In UAE at AED 2099 vs AED 2899, the Samsung wins because it offers 100% more RAM and newer connectivity for 28% less cost; in India at ₹52900 vs ₹76900, the Samsung wins on value because 32GB RAM and Wi-Fi 7 deliver tangible productivity gains over outdated hardware.
