MacBook Air 13 (M1) vs MacBook Air 13 (M2)

Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 with 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU crushes the 2017 MacBook Air’s Intel Core i5-5350U and Intel HD 6000 in raw performance and efficiency. The 2017 MacBook Air suits light tasks like web browsing and document editing with its 12-hour battery life and 512GB storage, but its fanless design limits sustained workloads. The M2 MacBook Pro excels for video editors needing 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 40 Gbps Thunderbolt ports for external 4K displays, plus 2x faster Wi-Fi 6 and Touch ID for secure logins. In UAE at AED 2999 vs AED 2999, the M2 Pro wins because its 10-core GPU handles 4K rendering 3x faster than the HD 6000; in India at ₹79900 vs ₹74900, the M2 Pro wins on value because it delivers modern performance and connectivity for ₹5000 less despite half the storage.
