Apple 13-inch MacBook Air (M3) vs Samsung Galaxy Book6 16" Touch Laptop

Buy the MacBook Air M3 if you want the lightest, quietest machine with the best battery life and the sharpest screen. Buy the Galaxy Book6 if you need a touchscreen, a bigger 16-inch display, more storage, or Windows-only software. The Air wins on portability, display quality and resale value; the Book6 wins on screen size, touch input and ports. Owners of both rate them well, though the Air's 256GB SSD fills fast and the Book6 is noticeably heavier at 4.1 lb.

• Choose the MacBook Air M3 if you carry your laptop daily, work mostly in a browser and Office apps, and want a fanless machine that runs a full day on one charge.
• Choose the Galaxy Book6 if you want a 16-inch touchscreen, a 120Hz display, HDMI, and Windows software, and you don't mind the extra weight.
