MacBook 12 (2018)
The MacBook Pro 15 2018 wins on performance with its i9-8950HK (6c/12t) and Radeon Pro Vega 20 (4GB HBM2) versus the 2016’s i7-6820HQ (4c/8t) and Radeon Pro 455 (2GB GDDR5). The 2018 model is better for video editors needing 32GB RAM and faster GPU memory for 4K rendering, while its newer macOS Mojave supports modern apps the 2016’s Sierra cannot. The 2016 model suits coders needing 512GB storage and 16GB RAM for Docker containers and VMs, despite its weaker CPU and older Bluetooth 4.2. In UAE at AED 1099 vs AED 999, the 2018 is better because its Vega 20 GPU handles GPU-accelerated tasks 40% faster; in India at ₹21900 vs ₹22900, the 2016 wins on value because its double the storage and same RAM cost ₹1000 less.
