Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (M2) vs MacBook Air 15 (M2)

The MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 delivers sustained 20 W PL1 performance versus the Air’s 9 W PL1, enabling longer high-core utilization without thermal throttling. Choose the Pro if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro or compile code across 8 CPU cores—its 24 GB RAM and active cooling handle prolonged workloads the Air cannot. The Air 15 2023 wins for all-day portability: its 66.5 Wh battery lasts 18 hours on web browsing (Apple’s claim), and the 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display suits writers and students who need screen real estate without a fan. In UAE at AED 5399 vs AED 6099, the Pro is better because it runs 11 W hotter under load without throttling. In India at ₹134900 vs ₹149900, the Pro wins on value because you pay ₹15000 less for superior sustained performance.
