Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (M3) vs Galaxy Book4 Edge 16"

Apple MacBook Air 13 M3 with its 10-core GPU outperforms the Galaxy Book4 Pro’s 8-core Intel Arc iGPU in sustained graphics workloads, and its fanless design ensures silent operation under load, unlike the 28W PL1 Intel Ultra 7 155H that requires active cooling. Choose the MacBook Air if you prioritize all-day battery life (up to 18 hours video playback), portability (1.237 kg), and macOS optimization for video editors using Final Cut Pro with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and fast 512GB SSD. Pick the Galaxy Book4 Pro 16 if you need Windows, a larger 16-inch 3K2K display, HDMI output, and microSD card reader for photographers or engineers running legacy software requiring Intel’s 16 cores and 22 threads. In UAE at AED 4299 vs AED 4999, the MacBook Air is better because it’s 700 AED cheaper and lighter by 302g; in India at ₹104900 vs ₹124990, the MacBook Air wins on value because it costs ₹20090 less with superior battery and thermal efficiency.
