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

Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 outperforms the 2018 15-inch model in CPU and GPU efficiency, with its 8-core M2 (2.4–3.5 GHz) and 10-core GPU delivering 40% higher single-core and 2x multi-core throughput than the 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 ports for external displays and fast storage. The 2018 15-inch model suits users needing 32GB RAM for heavy multitasking in legacy Adobe apps or large codebases, plus 1TB SSD for local media libraries, despite its 5-hour battery and noisy fans under load. In UAE at AED 3799 vs AED 3399, the M2 is better because it lasts 3x longer on battery; in India at ₹94900 vs ₹87900, the 2018 model wins on value because 32GB RAM and 1TB storage justify the ₹7000 difference for professionals.
