Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 13 (2020) vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 Late 2020 M1 Entry (8c/8t M1) outperforms the 2018 15-inch’s Intel i7-8850H (6c/12t) in single-core and efficiency, with its 8-core GPU matching the Radeon Pro 560X in light tasks while running fanless. Buy the M1 model if you need 10+ hours of battery life for coding, writing, or light photo editing, and want 1TB storage without thermal throttling. Choose the 2018 15-inch only if you require 64GB RAM and 2TB SSD for heavy video rendering in Final Cut Pro or legacy software incompatible with Apple Silicon. In UAE at AED 3799 vs AED 4199, the M1 is better because it delivers superior performance with 20% longer battery and no fan noise. In India at ₹94900 vs ₹106900, the M1 wins on value because it offers faster CPU, same storage, and 8GB more RAM at ₹12000 less.
