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 8-core (3.2 GHz max) vs Intel i7-8850H (4.3 GHz max), and its fanless design delivers silent, sustained performance without thermal throttling. Buy the M1 model if you need 10+ hours of battery life for coding, writing, or light photo editing with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD—its efficiency outlasts the 15-inch’s 83Wh battery, which lasts ~6 hours under load. Choose the 2018 15-inch if you run legacy Windows apps via Boot Camp or need 16GB RAM and 512GB storage for video editing with the Radeon Pro 560X (4GB GDDR5), but accept 4.03kg weight and 6-hour runtime. In UAE at AED 1999 vs AED 1899, the M1 is better because it lasts 4+ hours longer on a charge; in India at ₹44900 vs ₹48900, the M1 wins on value because it delivers superior efficiency and newer macOS support for ₹4000 less.
