Our Verdict

Galaxy Book Pro 360 15.6" vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t) crushes the i7-8850H (6c/12t) in multi-core performance, and the Intel Xe3 iGPU outperforms the aging Radeon Pro 560X in modern workloads. The Galaxy Book6 Pro’s 64GB LPDDR5x RAM and 2TB SSD make it ideal for video editors handling 8K timelines or coders running Docker containers with 20+ VMs, while its 78Wh battery lasts ~11 hours on light tasks. The MacBook Pro 15 2018 suits users locked into macOS legacy apps like Final Cut Pro 10.4 or Adobe CS6, where its 16GB DDR4 and 560X GPU still function, but thermal throttling under sustained loads is inevitable. In UAE at AED 2999 vs AED 2299, the Galaxy Book6 Pro is better because it offers 4x RAM and 2x storage for just AED 700 more; in India at ₹75900 vs ₹59900, the MacBook loses on value because its 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD are obsolete for 2024 workflows.
