Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (2020) vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 Late 2020 M1 Entry wins on CPU performance with M1’s 8-core CPU (3.2 GHz boost) outperforming the Intel i7-8850H’s 6-core 4.3 GHz turbo in real-world efficiency and single-threaded tasks, while being fanless and running cooler. Choose the M1 model if you’re a coder or video editor needing 10+ hours of battery life, 8GB RAM for Lightroom or Xcode, and 1TB SSD for fast file access without thermal throttling. Pick the 2018 15-inch if you need 32GB RAM for heavy After Effects renders or legacy software requiring Intel-only plugins, and prioritize 4 Thunderbolt ports over battery life. In UAE at AED 3799 vs AED 3499, the M1 wins because it delivers 2x faster app launch speeds and 50% longer battery life; in India at ₹84900 vs ₹88900, the M1 wins on value because it offers superior efficiency and newer macOS support without the weight penalty.
