The MacBook Pro 15-inch 2015 wins on performance with its Intel Core i7-4870HQ (4c/8t, 2.5–3.7 GHz) and AMD Radeon R9 M370X (2GB GDDR5), outclassing the MacBook 12’s fanless Core M-5Y31 (2c/4t, 0.9–2.4 GHz) and Intel HD 5300. The MacBook 12 suits travelers needing 10.5 hours of battery life and 920g portability for light browsing, email, and document work, but struggles with multitasking beyond 8GB RAM.

In UAE at AED 799 vs AED 899, the MacBook 12 is better because it costs 100 AED less and lasts longer on a single charge. In India at ₹18900 vs ₹19900, the MacBook 12 wins on value because it saves ₹1000 with nearly identical battery life and far lighter weight.
