Our Verdict

MacBook Air 15 (M3) vs Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 16"

Apple MacBook Air 15 M3 wins on CPU efficiency and GPU performance with its 8-core M3 (4.1 GHz P-cores) and 10-core GPU, outperforming the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H’s 16-core setup in sustained workloads due to fanless thermal design and lower 12W PL1 power limit. Choose the MacBook Air if you’re a video editor needing 24GB RAM for 4K timelines or a coder benefiting from macOS optimization and 15-hour battery life on light tasks. Pick the Galaxy Book4 Pro 16 if you need 32GB RAM for heavy multitasking, HDMI output for external monitors, or microSD card expansion for photographers. In UAE at AED 6899 vs AED 6499, the Samsung wins because it offers 32GB RAM for just AED 400 more; in India at ₹169900 vs ₹162990, the Samsung wins on value because 32GB RAM delivers tangible productivity gains over 24GB at a ₹6910 discount.
