Our Verdict

Galaxy Book2 Pro 15.6" vs Galaxy Book3 Pro 16"

The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro wins on CPU performance with its Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (16c/16t) versus the MacBook Pro’s older i7-8850H (6c/12t), and its Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 4 ports outclass the 2018 model’s Wi-Fi 5 and USB 3.1. The MacBook Pro 15 2018 suits video editors needing macOS compatibility and 32GB RAM for Final Cut Pro, but its 560X GPU lacks modern ray tracing and its 83Wh battery lasts ~8 hours under light use. The Galaxy Book6 Pro excels for coders and multitaskers using Windows 11 with 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 RAM and 16 cores, plus its 78Wh battery supports 9+ hours of office work and its fingerprint reader enables instant login. In UAE at AED 3399 vs AED 4699, the MacBook Pro is better because it runs macOS natively for creative workflows; in India at ₹87900 vs ₹118900, the MacBook Pro wins on value because it delivers proven macOS performance at 26% lower cost.
