Our Verdict

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

Apple MacBook Air 15 M3 wins on CPU efficiency and GPU performance: its 8-core M3 with 10-core GPU delivers sustained 12W performance without a fan, while the Samsung’s Intel Core Ultra 7 155H runs at 28W sustained and requires active cooling. Choose the MacBook for video editors needing 16GB unified RAM and 512GB SSD with 18-hour real-world battery life, or coders benefiting from macOS optimization and zero thermal throttling. Pick the Galaxy Book4 Pro 16 for Windows-only software, HDMI output, and microSD card reader—useful for photographers transferring files directly from cameras, and those needing 76Wh battery for longer unplugged sessions on Windows apps. In UAE at AED 5299 vs AED 5299, the MacBook is better because it runs silently and lasts longer without a fan. In India at ₹129900 vs ₹131990, the MacBook wins on value because it offers superior battery life and thermal silence for ₹2090 less.
