MacBook 12 (2018)
The MacBook Pro 15 2018 with i9-8950HK and Radeon Pro Vega 20 (4GB HBM2) crushes the MacBook Air 2017’s i5-5350U and HD Graphics 6000 in CPU and GPU performance, but runs hotter due to active cooling. Buy the Pro if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro — its 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD handle large timelines without lag, and the Vega 20 accelerates rendering faster than Intel HD 6000. Buy the Air if you need all-day battery life (up to 12 hours) and portability under 1.35kg, with its SD card reader for photographers transferring files directly. In UAE at AED 2899 vs AED 2999, the Pro wins because it offers 2x RAM and 2x storage for the same price. In India at ₹61900 vs ₹79900, the Pro wins on value because you get 16GB more RAM and 512GB more storage for ₹18,000 less.
