Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (M2) vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 beats the 2018 15-inch in CPU and GPU performance: M2’s 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU outperform the i7-8850H’s 6-core CPU and Radeon Pro 560X in sustained workloads, and the M2 is fanless, enabling silent operation under load. The M2 model is best for video editors needing 16GB unified RAM and efficient 256GB SSD for 4K editing, with 18+ hours of battery life from its 58.2Wh pack. The 2018 model suits users needing 1TB storage for large media libraries and DDR4 RAM upgradability to 32GB, despite its 1.83kg weight and 10-hour battery life. In UAE at AED 2999 vs AED 2299, the 2018 model is better because it offers 768GB more storage for AED 700 less; in India at ₹74900 vs ₹59900, the 2018 model wins on value because it delivers double the storage for ₹15000 less.
