Our Verdict

Galaxy Book Pro 15.6" vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 15.6"

Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t) outperforms Intel Core i7-8850H (6c/12t) in multi-core workloads, and the Galaxy Book6 Pro’s Intel Xe3 iGPU with Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 4 surpasses the MacBook’s Radeon Pro 560X and Wi-Fi 5. The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro is best for coders needing 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and 80W sustained power for compiling large projects, with 12.5 hours of real-world use from its 78Wh battery. The MacBook Pro 15 2018 suits legacy macOS users requiring Final Cut Pro 10.4.8 or Xcode 10.1, where the 16GB DDR4-2400 and AMD Radeon Pro 560X still run older professional apps reliably. In UAE at AED 2099 vs AED 2899, the Galaxy Book6 Pro is better because it offers 16 cores, Wi-Fi 7, and 32GB RAM for 27% less cost; in India at ₹52900 vs ₹74900, the Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on value because it doubles RAM and adds modern connectivity for ₹22000 less.
