Our Verdict

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

The M2’s 10-core GPU and 8-core CPU outperform the 2018 model’s Radeon Pro 560X and 6-core i7-8850H, with 40% higher single-core and 70% higher multi-core scores in benchmarks, and the fanless M2 runs silently under load while the 2018 model’s fans spin loudly at 65°C+. Buy the M2 MacBook Pro 13 if you need 18+ hours of battery life for travel, 16GB LPDDR5 RAM for multitasking, and Thunderbolt 4 for fast external displays. Buy the 2018 MacBook Pro 15 if you need 512GB SSD storage for large media libraries and 83Wh battery for extended unplugged work, despite its 4.03kg weight and 8-hour battery life. In UAE at AED 2999 vs AED 2899, the M2 is better because it lasts 10+ hours longer on a charge. In India at ₹74900 vs ₹74900, the M2 wins on value because it delivers modern performance without a fan.
