Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (2020) vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 Late 2020 M1 Entry wins on CPU performance with M1 (8c/8t) vs Intel i7-8850H (6c/12t), and its fanless design delivers silent operation under load, while the 2018 model runs hot under sustained workloads. The M1 model suits coders needing efficient Swift/Python compilation and everyday users who get 18+ hours of battery life on light tasks, despite only 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The 2018 MacBook Pro 15 with 16GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD suits video editors editing 4K footage in Final Cut Pro who need expandable storage and dedicated AMD Radeon Pro 560X (4GB GDDR5) for GPU-accelerated rendering. In UAE at AED 1999 vs AED 2299, the M1 model is better because it uses 40% less power for similar tasks; in India at ₹44900 vs ₹59900, the M1 wins on value because it offers 2x better CPU efficiency and 50% longer battery life for half the price.
