Our Verdict

MacBook Air 15 (M2) vs Galaxy Book2 Business 14"

Apple MacBook Air 15 M2 outperforms the Galaxy Book5 Pro in CPU efficiency and GPU power with its 10-core M2 GPU (13.5W TDP) versus Intel Arc 130V (25W PL1), delivering fanless silent operation under load. Choose the MacBook Air if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro—16GB LPDDR5 RAM and Apple’s optimized media engine handle long renders without throttling. Pick the Galaxy Book5 Pro if you need 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for multitasking with heavy Windows apps like AutoCAD or virtual machines, plus Wi-Fi 7 and microSD support for field work. In UAE at AED 3699 vs AED 3799, the MacBook Air is better because it runs cooler and quieter without a fan. In India at ₹89900 vs ₹98900, the MacBook Air wins on value because it offers superior battery life (18 hours real-world) and macOS optimization for half the price premium.
