Our Verdict

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

Apple MacBook Air 15 M2 outperforms the Galaxy Book5 Pro in CPU and GPU efficiency, with its 10-core GPU delivering 13.5W sustained graphics performance versus Intel Arc 130V’s 25W thermal limit, and no fan ensures silent operation under load. Choose the MacBook Air if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro—16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD handle media workflows smoothly with 18+ hours of battery life. Pick the Galaxy Book5 Pro if you run Windows-only apps like AutoCAD or need 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for multitasking heavy datasets, plus Wi-Fi 7 and microSD support for fieldwork. In UAE at AED 4499 vs AED 3799, the Galaxy Book5 Pro is better because it offers double the storage and 16GB more RAM for AED 700 less; in India at ₹109900 vs ₹98900, the Galaxy Book5 Pro wins on value because 32GB RAM and 1TB storage justify the ₹11000 price gap.
