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

The MacBook Air 15 2023 M2 outperforms the 2018 MacBook Pro in CPU and GPU efficiency, with its M2 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU delivering 40% faster single-core and 2x faster graphics performance than the Intel i7-8850H and Radeon Pro 560X, while running fanless and cooler under load. Choose the Air if you need all-day battery life (up to 18 hours video playback), silent operation, and modern connectivity like Wi-Fi 6 and Thunderbolt 4 for external 4K displays. The 2018 Pro suits professionals needing 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for heavy multitasking in Final Cut Pro or large codebases, despite its 6-hour battery and noisy fans under sustained load. In UAE at AED 3699 vs AED 3499, the Air is better because it’s 20% faster and fanless; in India at ₹89900 vs ₹88900, the Air wins on value because its M2 chip ensures 5+ years of software support versus the 2018 Pro’s obsolete Intel architecture.
