Our Verdict

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

Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 outperforms the 2018 15-inch model in CPU and GPU efficiency: M2’s 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU deliver 40% higher single-core and 2x multi-core performance than the i7-8850H, while consuming 13.5W vs. 45W TDP, making it fanless and silent under load. Choose the M2 model if you need all-day battery life (up to 18 hours video playback), portability (1.37kg), and future-proof macOS support with 16GB LPDDR5 and 512GB SSD for light video editing or coding. The 2018 15-inch model suits users needing 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for heavy multitasking with legacy apps or large local datasets, despite its 1.83kg weight and 10-hour battery. In UAE at AED 3799 vs. AED 3499, the M2 is better because it lasts 8 hours longer on battery; in India at ₹94900 vs. ₹88900, the 2018 model wins on value because 32GB RAM and 1TB storage justify the ₹6000 gap for heavy workloads.
