Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 13 (M2) vs Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 15.6"

The M2’s 10-core GPU (13.5W TDP) and 8-core CPU outperform the 2018 model’s Radeon Pro 560X and i7-8850H in sustained workloads, with no fan noise due to passive cooling. The 2022 MacBook Pro 13 is best for video editors needing 24GB RAM and 512GB SSD for 4K timelines, delivering 14 hours of video playback and 3.5x faster rendering than the 2018 model. The 2018 MacBook Pro 15 suits coders running Docker containers and VMs who need 32GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD, despite its 6.5-hour battery life and 1.83kg weight. In UAE at AED 4199 vs AED 3499, the 2022 model is better because it runs 50% faster in Final Cut Pro with half the power draw; in India at ₹104900 vs ₹88900, the 2018 model wins on value because 32GB RAM and 1TB storage offset its older architecture for heavy multitasking.
