Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (M4) vs Galaxy Book4 Edge 16"

Apple MacBook Air 13 M4 outperforms the Galaxy Book4 Pro 16 in CPU efficiency and GPU power per watt, with its 10-core M4 (4.5 GHz P-cores) delivering higher sustained performance than the Intel Ultra 7 155H’s 28 W PL1, and its fanless design ensures silent operation under load. The MacBook Air is best for video editors needing 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD with macOS optimization for Final Cut Pro, and all-day battery life of up to 18 hours from its 53.8 Wh pack.
