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

Apple MacBook Air 15 2023 M2 with its 10-core GPU and 8c/8t M2 chip outperforms the 2018 MacBook Pro’s 6c/12t i7-8850H and Radeon Pro 560X in sustained workloads due to superior efficiency and no fan throttling. The M2 Air is best for video editors needing 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for 4K editing with 18 hours of battery life, while its fanless design ensures silent operation during light tasks. The 2018 Pro with 32GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD suits coders running multiple VMs or data scientists handling large datasets, despite its 10-hour battery and louder cooling under load. In UAE at AED 4499 vs AED 3499, the 2018 Pro is better because it offers double the RAM and double the storage for AED 1000 less; in India at ₹109900 vs ₹88900, the 2018 Pro wins on value because 32GB RAM and 1TB storage justify the ₹21000 price gap for heavy multitaskers.
