Our Verdict

Galaxy Book Pro 15.6" vs Galaxy Book2 360 15.6"

Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t) outperforms the Core i7-8850H (6c/12t) in multi-threaded tasks, and the integrated Xe3 iGPU supports Wi-Fi 7 and modern display outputs, while the MacBook’s 560X is outdated and lacks driver updates. The Galaxy Book6 Pro’s 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and 78Wh battery deliver 10+ hours of video playback and handle heavy multitasking without thermal throttling, making it ideal for coders running VMs or video editors using Premiere Pro. The MacBook Pro 2018’s 16GB DDR4 and 83Wh battery offer 7 hours of runtime and suit users locked into Final Cut Pro or legacy macOS apps requiring Rosetta 2 compatibility. In UAE at AED 2099 vs AED 2499, the Galaxy Book6 Pro is better because it includes Wi-Fi 7 and 32GB RAM for 400 AED less. In India at ₹52900 vs ₹64900, the Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on value because it doubles RAM and adds modern connectivity for ₹12000 less.
