Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (M2) vs Galaxy Book2 360 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 outperforms the 2018 15-inch model with its M2 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, delivering 40% higher single-core and 2x GPU throughput over the Intel i7-8850H and Radeon Pro 560X, while running fanless under light loads. Choose the M2 model if you need all-day battery life (up to 18 hours video playback), silent operation, and modern USB4/Thunderbolt 4 for external displays or fast storage.

In UAE at AED 2999 vs AED 2899, the M2 is better because it offers 50% longer battery life and future-proof connectivity; in India at ₹74900 vs ₹76900, the M2 wins on value because it delivers superior efficiency and performance without sacrificing portability.
