Our Verdict

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

Apple MacBook Air 15 2023 M2 outperforms the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro in CPU and GPU efficiency, with the M2’s 10-core GPU delivering 30% higher sustained graphics throughput than Intel Arc 130V’s 1850 MHz core, while remaining completely fanless. Choose the MacBook if you edit 4K video or run macOS-only apps—its 16GB LPDDR5-6400 and 66.5Wh battery sustain 15+ hours of continuous editing. Pick the Galaxy Book5 Pro if you need Windows, HDMI output, or a microSD card reader for photographers—its lighter 1.231kg body and Wi-Fi 7 support benefit mobile professionals.
