Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 13 (2020) vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 Late 2020 M1 Entry wins on CPU performance with M1 (8c/8t) versus Intel i7-8850H (6c/12t), and its fanless design delivers silent, sustained performance without thermal throttling. Buy the M1 model if you need all-day battery life (up to 18 hours video playback), efficient video editing with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD, or coding with macOS-native tools and low power draw. Choose the 2018 15-inch if you need 16GB RAM for heavy multitasking, 1TB SSD for large media libraries, or legacy Thunderbolt 3 peripherals, despite its 10-hour battery and noisy fan under load. In UAE at AED 2499 vs AED 2299, the M1 model is better because it uses 40% less power for equivalent tasks. In India at ₹59900 vs ₹59900, the M1 model wins on value because it offers superior efficiency, longer battery, and modern Wi-Fi 6 without price premium.
