The Apple MacBook Pro 15 2018 (2.6 GHz, 560X) (MacBook Pro 15 2018 Series) 512GB / 16GB is Samsung's 2022 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 15.5 x 349.3 x 240.7 ( = 0.61 x 13.75 x 9.48 in) display, the Intel Core i7-8850H 6c/12t 6 x 2.6 - 4.3 GHz, Coffee Lake-H chipset. At AED 2,899 in the UAE and ₹74,900 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The MacBook Pro 15 2018 excels with its Intel Core i7-8850H and AMD Radeon Pro 560X (4GB GDDR5), delivering sustained multi-core performance for rendering and light 3D work, paired with 16GB soldered DDR4-2400 that handles heavy multitasking. The 83Wh battery lasts up to 10 hours under moderate use. It’s suited for photographers editing 4K RAW files or developers running Docker containers and VMs simultaneously. Its weakness is thermals: under prolonged load, the fan noise spikes and CPU throttles after 15–20 minutes, limiting sustained GPU performance. Storage is PCIe NVMe but limited to 512GB with no upgrade path. In UAE at AED 2899, it’s good value because it’s one of the last Intel MacBook Pros with discrete GPU and replaceable battery options. In India at ₹74900, it’s overpriced—new M1 Airs offer better efficiency, longer battery, and silent operation for half the cost.
