Our Verdict

Galaxy Book2 Business 14" vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 15.6"

Intel Core Ultra 5 226V outperforms the i7-8850H in multi-core efficiency and AI tasks, while the Arc 130V GPU surpasses the Radeon Pro 560X in modern driver support and power efficiency; the Galaxy Book5 Pro is fanless, enabling silent operation under load. Choose the Samsung for mobile creators needing 32GB LPDDR5x RAM, 63Wh battery lasting 10+ hours on light tasks, and Wi-Fi 7 for fast cloud backups. The MacBook Pro 2018 suits legacy macOS developers requiring 32GB DDR4 soldered RAM and 1TB SSD for Xcode projects, despite its 83Wh battery yielding only 5–6 hours and Wi-Fi 5 limitations. In UAE at AED 3199 vs AED 3499, the Samsung wins because it’s lighter (1.23kg vs 1.83kg) and newer with Wi-Fi 7; in India at ₹82900 vs ₹88900, the Samsung wins on value because it includes Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 ports absent in the 2018 MacBook.
