We expect a refresh of the 16-inch MacBook Pro sometime this year, but for now the current model ships with a 9th Gen Intel Core i7 or i9 CPU, which is two full generations behind the 11th Gen Intel i5/i7 CPUs available on the Galaxy Book Pro. However, since the Galaxy Book Pro is launching during this awkward period in which the 13-inch MacBook Pro has been upgraded with the M1 chip but the 16-inch hasn't, the 15.6-inch Galaxy Book Pro may be the clear choice (performance-wise) if you want the larger screen of a 16-inch laptop. That's important to note because the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro ships with similar 11th Gen Intel i5 and i7 CPUs, suggesting that Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro may still hold an edge in terms of raw power.

In our lab testing, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 delivered incredible performance, beating out competing Windows laptops outfitted with 11th Gen Intel i7 CPUs in multiple tests. MacBook Pro: PerformanceĪpple's new M1 chip has been a game-changer for the performance of every MacBook laptop that gets it, and the 13-inch MacBook Pro is no exception. We haven't had the chance to measure the Galaxy Book Pro's bezels for ourselves yet, but based on product shots, they don't appear significantly smaller than those on a similarly-sized MacBook Pro. If bezel size is important to you, know that the 13-inch MacBook Pro has some regrettably large bezels, though its 16-inch sibling's bezels are noticeably smaller around its larger screen. The 16-inch MacBook Pro has remarkably slim bezels (Image credit: Future) The Retina displays on both MacBook Pro models still rely on LCD technology, but they're some of the best LCD screens you can buy on a laptop the 13.3-inch Retina display on the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro has a native resolution of 2560 x 1600, while the 16-inch MacBook Pro has a native resolution of 3072 x 1920. AMOLED displays are typically vibrant and gorgeous, with excellent contrast, thanks to their use of LEDs rather than LCDs. The Retina displays on Apple's MacBook Pro laptops are bright and colorful, and we're eager to get Samsung's Galaxy Book Pro in for testing so we can see how its AMOLED display compares.įor now we can only compare the specs sheets, and just looking at the numbers it seems like the MacBook Pro has an edge over the Galaxy Book Pro in terms of display quality.īoth the 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch models of Galaxy Book Pro have Full HD AMOLED screens with a native 1920 x 1080 resolution. The current 16-inch MacBook Pro offers a headphone jack and four Thunderbolt ports, but they're only Thunderbolt 3 we currently expect Apple to release an updated MacBook Pro 16-inch model sometime this year, so if you want the MacBook Pro with the larger screen and Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 support, you'd be wise to wait and see what Apple does this year. If you opt for the 15-inch Galaxy Book Pro, you'll also get an HDMI port, handy for outputting to external displays for presentations, movie-watching, and more.īy comparison, the 13-inch MacBook Pro currently offers just two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack. Ports on the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro (Image credit: Future) The 13.3-inch Galaxy Book Pro isn't as wide or as thick as the similarly sized MacBook Pro, for example, as Samsung has but an emphasis on thin and light with its new laptops. The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro and the MacBook Pro are both sleek, light laptops that won't weigh you down, but Samsung's new notebook looks to be just a bit lighter and smaller than a similarly-sized MacBook Pro.
