Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 13 (2020) vs Galaxy Book2 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 Late 2020 M1 (8-core CPU, 8-core GPU) outperforms the 2018 15-inch’s Intel i7-8850H and AMD Radeon Pro 560X in single-core speed and efficiency, with 3.2 GHz max turbo and no fan noise under load. The M1 model is best for coders running Docker or Xcode, and video editors editing 4K footage in Final Cut Pro, thanks to 24GB unified memory and 512GB SSD with 3.5x faster read speeds than DDR4. The 2018 15-inch suits users needing 16GB DDR4 RAM for legacy Adobe apps or multiple external displays via its four Thunderbolt 3 ports, despite its 4.03-pound weight and 10-hour battery life. In UAE at AED 2499 vs AED 1899, the 2018 model wins on value because it offers 16GB RAM for AED 600 less; in India at ₹59900 vs ₹48900, the 2018 model wins on value because it delivers 16GB RAM and larger battery for ₹11000 less despite older architecture.
