Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (2020) vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 Late 2020 M1 (8-core CPU, 8-core GPU) outperforms the 2018 15-inch’s Intel i7-8850H and AMD Radeon Pro 560X in single-core speed and efficiency, with fanless thermal design enabling sustained performance without throttling. Buy the M1 model if you need 10+ hours of battery life for coding, light photo editing, or daily tasks, and benefit from 512GB SSD speed and Wi-Fi 6. Choose the 2018 15-inch if you require 16GB soldered RAM and 1TB storage for video editing with Final Cut Pro, or need four Thunderbolt 3 ports for external displays and RAID arrays. In UAE at AED 2599 vs AED 2299, the 2018 model is better because it offers double the storage for AED 300 less; in India at ₹59900 vs ₹59900, the M1 wins on value because it delivers 50% longer battery life and faster SSD speeds despite identical pricing.
