MacBook 12 (2018) vs MacBook Pro 15 (2018)

The i9-8950HK with Vega 20 (4GB HBM2) is identical in both models, so CPU and GPU performance are unchanged. The 24GB RAM version is for video editors working with 4K timelines under 10 minutes or coders running 4–6 Docker containers simultaneously, where 32GB is overkill. The 36GB RAM version is misleading—this model has only 32GB soldered RAM, so the listing is incorrect; no 36GB configuration exists, making it a pricing error. In UAE at AED 2899 vs AED 3099, the 24GB model is better because it saves AED 200 for identical performance. In India at ₹61900 vs ₹74900, the 24GB model wins on value because the ₹13000 premium buys zero extra RAM—Apple’s listing is false, and no 36GB unit was ever shipped.
