MacBook Air 15 (M2) vs Galaxy Book2 360 15.6"

The MacBook Air 15 2023 M2 outperforms the 2018 MacBook Pro in CPU and GPU tiers: M2 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU vs Intel i7-8850H 6-core and AMD Radeon Pro 560X (4GB GDDR5), with 3.5 GHz boost vs 4.3 GHz but far superior IPC and efficiency. The fanless M2 Air delivers all-day 18-hour battery life for web browsing and office tasks, while the Pro’s 83 Wh battery lasts only 8–9 hours under load and runs hot under sustained workloads. The 2018 Pro suits users needing 1TB storage and DDR4 RAM upgradability for legacy software or large media libraries, but its 560X GPU can’t run modern games or GPU-accelerated apps efficiently. In UAE at AED 3699 vs AED 2899, the Air is better because it’s 2.5x faster in multi-core tasks and lasts 10+ hours longer; in India at ₹89900 vs ₹76900, the Pro loses on value because its 1TB storage doesn’t offset its 6-year-old architecture and 40% lower performance.
