Our Verdict

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

The M1’s 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU outperform the Intel i7-8850H and Radeon Pro 560X in efficiency and sustained workloads, with no fan noise due to passive cooling. Buy the MacBook Pro 13 M1 if you need 10+ hours of battery life for mobile coding, photo editing, or web design with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for fast app launches and file access. Choose the 15-inch 2018 model only if you require 16GB soldered RAM and 1TB SSD for large video projects using legacy Adobe apps that don’t yet support Apple Silicon, and can tolerate 6–7 hours of battery and 1.83kg weight. In UAE at AED 2599 vs AED 2899, the M1 is better because it delivers superior performance with 40% longer battery life; in India at ₹59900 vs ₹76900, the M1 wins on value because it offers modern efficiency and thermal silence at 22% lower cost.
