MacBook Pro 13 (M1) vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 15.6"

Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 with its 10-core GPU and 8-core CPU outperforms the 2018 15-inch’s 6-core i7-8850H and Radeon Pro 560X in raw efficiency and sustained workloads, running fanless under light loads while the older model requires active cooling. Buy the M2 model if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro — its 24GB RAM and LPDDR5-6400 handle multi-track timelines smoothly, and its 18-hour battery life lasts a full workday. Choose the 2018 15-inch only if you need USB-A ports for legacy peripherals and can tolerate 6.5 hours of battery life with its heavier 1.83kg frame and 83Wh battery. In UAE at AED 3299 vs AED 2899, the M2 is better because it delivers 40% longer battery life and 2x GPU performance; in India at ₹84900 vs ₹74900, the M2 wins on value because its efficiency and future-proofing justify the ₹10,000 premium.
