Best Battery
MacBook Pro 13 (2020)
Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 512GB/24GB wins with its 10-core GPU and 16GB LPDDR5-6400 RAM versus the M1’s 8-core GPU and 8GB LPDDR4X-4266. The M1 model with 8GB RAM and 1TB storage suits writers and light photo editors who need long battery life (up to 17 hours) and don’t run multi-track video timelines or large codebases. The M2 model with 16GB RAM and 10-core GPU handles 4K video editing in Final Cut Pro and compiling large code projects without throttling, thanks to its higher sustained power (20W PL1) and faster memory bandwidth. In UAE at AED 3799 vs AED 4199, the M1 is better because it offers 1TB storage for AED 400 less; in India at ₹94900 vs ₹104900, the M2 wins on value because 16GB RAM prevents bottlenecks in professional apps, justifying the ₹10000 premium.
